This three-day course is designed for technical professionals and will introduce participants to the fundamental aspects of reservoir engineering. Theoretical concepts and equations will be presented in an effort to assist reservoir and exploitation engineers in their primary functions - the determination of oil and gas reserves and the maximization of hydrocarbon recovery under primary, secondary, and tertiary schemes. The session will include a number of relevant class problems and examples. A complete set of course materials and lunch are included.
