<p>This course is subdivided into two units.</p><p> </p><p>Unit 1: INTRODUCTION TO FIELD APPRAISAL AND DEVELOPMENT</p><ul><li>To introduce the geoscientist to the tools and techniques used by petroleum engineers to develop oil and gas fields.</li><li>To understand the role of the geoscientist in oil and gas field development.</li></ul><p> </p><p>Unit 2: RESERVOIR MODELLING USING PETREL</p><ul><li>This is a practical course run by Schlumberger covering the principals of reservoir modelling.</li></ul><p> </p><p> </p>
<p>The student will gain an understanding of the following topics:</p><ul><li>the methods used to appraise and develop oil and gas fields</li><li>the basis for hydrocarbon reserves classifications</li><li>the principles that govern the dynamic behaviour of oil and gas fields</li><li>the methods used to estimate recovery factors for fields developed using primary, secondary and tertiary recovery methods</li><li>the methods used to predict the performance of oil and gas fields</li></ul>
