MECE 4371 Production and Reservoir Engineering
Fundamental concepts of production and reservoir engineering, with focus on evaluation and optimization of oil and gas well production and understanding of reserve estimation and enhancing recovery factors. Production engineering design will include well deliverability, formation damage analysis and technologies to improve flow to surface (artificial list and well stimulation). Reservoir engineering concepts will be material balance methods (reservoir flow models), aquifer models and recovery mechanisms, fractional flow and frontal advance, and design of optional secondary and tertiary recovery processes. A design project on reservoir calculation and production determination will be given.
