Course Description
This course presents fundamental concepts, main underlying elements and practical aspects of reservoir simulation. Different types of reservoir simulators including black-oil, compositional and dual porosity described and some basic reservoir engineering and fluid flow concepts required in understanding general description of reservoir modeling are described. Practical implication of concepts and various phases of reservoir modeling including, input data preparation, model construction, model initialization, history match, reservoir development planning and performance forecast are discussed. Benefits, limitations and misuse of reservoir simulation are presented.

Case studies and class exercises will be discussed.

Participants are expected to bring their calculator or laptop for course exercises.

A complete set of course materials and lunch is included in this course.

Davood Khairkhah, Ph.D., P.Eng.
Graduated with M.S and Ph.D. in Petroleum Engineering from The University of Southern California, Dr. Khairkhah has over 30 years of experience working and teaching in Canada and internationally, in the oil & gas industry and universities, including the University of Calgary and the University of Southern California. He has presented courses in the areas of sensors and smart wells/reservoirs, production engineering, reservoir engineering, reservoir modeling, underground gas storage, fractured reservoirs, well testing, EOR methods, water flooding, and natural gas transmission and processing. His courses have been attended by technical and non-technical participants, ranging from young professionals to senior management.

Industrial projects include field development planning, reservoir characterization, integrated reservoir study, reservoir simulation, water and gas injection in oil reservoirs, horizontal well, multi-stage hydraulic fracturing, reserve analysis, well test design and analysis for conventional and unconventional reservoirs, gas storage development and performance analysis, PVT and core analysis, and gas production from gas hydrate reservoirs.
