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

• How to collect and analyze the data needed for reservoir engineering tasks.
• The fundamentals of fluid flow in porous media.
• How reservoirs are characterized by fluid type and drive mechanisms.
• The basis for reservoir fluid distribution.
• About oil and gas well performance and pressure buildup analysis.
• About oil displacement and optimizing reservoir performance.
• The basics of enhanced oil recovery.
• How oil and gas in place can be estimated and recovery predicted.
