 Module Objectives

أهداف المادة الدراسية

 

The class objectives for the given course are as follows:

 

  1. Understand the fundamentals of Integrated Reservoir Management: Gain knowledge of the principles and concepts involved in integrated reservoir management, including its importance in optimizing oil and gas field development.

 

  1. Learn the techniques for Appraisal of Oil and Gas Fields: Acquire the skills to compare laboratory and field PVT (pressure-volume-temperature) data, perform field unitization and equity determination, interpret joint operating agreements, analyze fluid contacts using pressure-depth measurements and PVT lab data, and conduct appraisal well testing and extended well testing.

 

  1. Develop proficiency in Analysis of Reservoir Performance: Apply material balance, well testing, and decline curve analysis techniques to analyze and evaluate reservoir performance in real-world field cases. Learn how to interpret the data obtained from these analyses to assess the productivity and behavior of reservoirs.

 

  1. Understand Reservoir Management Economics: Gain an understanding of economic criteria and evaluation methods used in reservoir management. Learn to assess and quantify risks and uncertainties associated with economic evaluations and optimize reservoir management decisions based on economic considerations.

 

  1. Analyze Reservoir Management Case Studies: Explore and analyze real-life case studies in reservoir management to gain practical insights into the application of concepts and techniques learned throughout the course. Understand the challenges and decision-making processes involved in managing various types of reservoirs.

 

By the end of the course, students should be able to apply the knowledge and skills gained to effectively manage and optimize the performance of oil and gas reservoirs, considering technical, economic, and risk factors.

Learning and Teaching Strategies

استراتيجيات التعلم والتعليم

Strategies

 

The main strategy for delivering this module is to foster active student participation and enhance their critical thinking skills. This will be accomplished through a combination of classroom lectures, interactive tutorials, and engaging in simple experiments that involve hands-on sampling activities. By encouraging students to actively participate in exercises and discussions, we aim to refine and expand their critical thinking abilities. These interactive learning experiences will not only make the subject matter more interesting and relatable but also provide opportunities for practical application of the concepts taught in the course. Furthermore, the inclusion of case studies and real-world examples will enable students to analyze and apply their knowledge in practical scenarios, thereby enhancing their problem-solving and decision-making skills. Additionally, collaborative activities and group exercises will promote teamwork and foster effective communication among students. Through these strategies, we aim to create an engaging and dynamic learning environment that encourages active learning, critical thinking, and the application of knowledge in the field of integrated reservoir management.

Note: Marks Decimal places above or below 0.5 will be rounded to the higher or lower full mark (for example a mark of 54.5 will be rounded to 55, whereas a mark of 54.4 will be rounded to 54. The University has a policy NOT to condone "near-pass fails" so the only adjustment to marks awarded by the original marker(s) will be the automatic rounding outlined above.
