Reservoir Simulation

Description

Introduction to numerical reservoir simulation and its role in reservoir management. The course covers the governing equations of single-phase and multiphase flow in porous media, finite-difference discretization, and numerical solution methods. Students build and history-match simulation models and use them to forecast reservoir performance under alternative development scenarios.
