COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course will take a comprehensive look at several aspects ofgas reservoir engineering. The course can be constructed such that it is afundamental, intermediate, or advanced gas reservoir engineering course. Thiscourse will cover various techniques, including basic gas reservoirengineering, properties of natural gas, material balance, and gas reservedetermination. Other concepts that will be covered include gasdeliverability, nodal analysis, and well testing in gas reservoirs.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Reservoir Engineers, Production Engineers, Laboratory Researchers,and Gas Field Operators.
TRAINING METHODOLOGY:
The training course will be highly interactive, with opportunitiesto advance your opinions and ideas. Participation is encouraged in a supportiveenvironment.
To ensure the concepts introduced during the training course areunderstood, they will be reinforced through a mix of learning methods,including PowerPoint slides and videos. This will be augmented by case studiesand facilitated discussions, to engage the delegates and to encourage theexchange of ideas.
COURSE OUTLINE:
Day 1:
Basic Gas ReservoirEngineering and Gas Reserves
- Fluids and fluid types
- Drive mechanisms
- Properties of natural gas
- Material balance
- Determining gas reserves
Day one of this coursewill introduce participants to the basics of gas reservoir engineering. This will include the following topics, fluid types, drive mechanisms,properties of natural gas, and material balance. The second half of theday will focus more on gas reserves. Participants will learn how todetermine gas reserves. Gas volumes and material balance will also bediscussed. The day will end with gas reserve calculations and classexercises.
Day 2:
Gas Deliverability
- Basic gas deliverability
- Deliverability of gas wells
- Class exercises
Participants will beginthis day with the basics of gas deliverability. They will learn aboutdeliverability in wells then go through some class exercises. During thesecond half of this day, participants will finish the discussion ondeliverability in gas wells along with more class exercises.
Day 3:
Gas DeliverabilityContinued and Nodal Analysis
- Introduction to nodal analysis
- Inflow performance for gas wells
- Outflow or tubing curves
- Vertical multi-phase flow
- Production data analysis
Day three will beginwith an introduction to nodal analysis and continue with a discussion on inflowperformance of gas wells. Outflow or tubing curves, vertical multi-phaseflow, and production data analysis will also be covered.
Day 4:
Well Testing
- Introduction to well testing
- Radial flow and radius of investigation
- Wellbore storage, damage, and stimulation
- Introduction to flow and build-up tests
- Analysis of late-time data
- Semi-log analysis for gas wells
- Project assignment
- Class exercises
Participants will beintroduced to well testing on day four of this course. Well testing willinclude a discussion on radial flow and radius of investigation. Severalother topics that will be covered include wellbore storage, damage, simulation,flow and build-up tests, analysis of late-time data, and semi-log analysis forgas wells. Participants will work class exercises and will receive aproject assignment.
Day 5:
Well Testing Continuedand Project Presentations
- Modification for gas
- Manual log analysis
- Type curve analysis
- Well test analysis using type curves
- Flow regimes and the diagnostic plot
- Project presentations
On the last day of thiscourse, participants will learn about modification for gas, manual loganalysis, and type curve analysis. The second half of the last day willinclude well test analysis using type curves, flow regimes, and the DiagnosticPlot. The day will conclude with participants giving their projectpresentations.
