Indicative Contents

المحتويات الإرشادية

In this 15-week course on reservoir simulation, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the subject. The course begins with an introduction to the concepts of reservoir simulation, including its advantages and limitations. It then covers the revision of basic reservoir engineering concepts, fluid and rock properties, and fundamental mathematical concepts. Students will learn about the formulation of single-phase flow equations, well representation in simulators, and the solution of linear difference equations. The course progresses to explore multi-phase flow, advanced simulation techniques, and the incorporation of geologic and reservoir heterogeneity. Students will study fluid displacement mechanisms, optimization, uncertainty analysis, and streamline simulation. Practical applications and case studies will provide real-world context. The course concludes with a recap, problem-solving exercises, and final exam preparation.

Learning and Teaching Strategies

استراتيجيات التعلم والتعليم

Strategies

The main strategy for delivering this module is to encourage students' participation in interactive simulations, fostering their critical thinking skills and practical understanding. The classes and interactive tutorials will provide a foundation for learning, while the core focus will be on engaging students through hands-on simulation activities. By involving students in various simulation exercises, they will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge and develop problem-solving abilities in a realistic context. This approach aims to enhance their understanding of reservoir simulation concepts and empower them to analyze and make informed decisions based on simulation outcomes. Through this interactive and practical approach, students will actively participate in the learning process, refining their critical thinking skills and gaining valuable experience in the field of reservoir simulation.
