This course covers the basic techniques used in modern reservoir management by asset management teams.

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

• • Better manage their assets by using proven management processes and practices, and integrate the technologies, tools, data, and activities of their multidisciplinary professionals

Geologists, Petrophysicists, and engineers who are using core analysis in development geology or reservoir characterization, engineers, geoscientists, field operation staff, management personnel, and others involved in various aspects of petroleum reservoir management
