This Oil & Gas training course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of reservoir fluid properties and the tools necessary for estimating hydrocarbon reserves and in-place hydrocarbons. It covers the process of designing reservoir depletion strategies, surface processing requirements, selection of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods, identification and quantification of marketable products, and reservoir simulation studies. Upon completing this course, participants will be better equipped to make well-informed decisions regarding field development planning.

The PVT (Pressure-Volume-Temperature) Properties of Reservoir Fluids course will include:

  • A review of the components of naturally occurring petroleum fluids
  • The importance of phase diagrams and the relationships between the five main reservoir fluids
  • An overview of the most accurate methods for deriving reservoir fluid property values from laboratory data and correlations
  • Discussions on sampling procedures and quality control measures
  • An understanding of the development and application of Cubic Equations of State (EOS)
  • Techniques for characterizing reservoir fluids to fine-tune EOS models

By the end of this PVT (Pressure-Volume-Temperature) Properties of Reservoir Fluids training course, participants will be able to:

  • Explain the phase behavior of reservoir fluids and production mechanisms using phase diagrams
  • Define and describe concepts such as saturated and undersaturated reservoirs, bubble point pressure, gas and oil formation volume factors, and gas-oil ratios for solution and production
  • Identify the necessary properties of natural gas, oil, and water for reservoir engineering calculations
  • Utilize PVT reports to estimate oil and gas reserves
  • Optimize separator operations and perform related calculations
  • Understand reservoir fluid characterization and the procedures for tuning EOS models
  • Make informed decisions regarding field development planning
