Gas Reservoir Management

Engineers actively involved with the operation and management of gas reservoirs; geoscientists working with gas reservoirs in field development and expansion planning would also benefit from attending this course.

•    Gas reservoir fluid properties: gas condensate sampling and understanding laboratory reports
•    Gas reservoir fluid flow and well testing: deliverability testing and non-darcy flow, testing for hydraulically fractured wells, horizontal wells, and gas condensate reservoirs
•    Determination of original gas-in-place: material balance techniques for various drive mechanisms and reservoir types, alternate plotting techniques, production decline type curves
•    Gas flow in wellbores and pipelines: the gas production system, pressure drop in wellbores and flowlines, restrictions to gas production
•    Prediction of future performance and ultimate recovery: decline curves, coupled material balance and deliverability techniques, reservoir simulation, gas well spacing and infill drilling
•    Special topics
•    Reservoir management of water-drive gas reservoirs, predicting gas condensate reservoir performance, coalbed methane reservoirs
