Course Overview
“Reservoir Modeling and Production Forecasting with a Focus on Application to Large and Not-so-Large Reservoirs.
The short course focuses on conventional reservoirs, but the key learnings are applicable to all major projects – conventional and unconventional.
High-level course outline is:
-Reservoir Modeling Workflow – Key Concepts
-Statistics – A Very Quick Review of Basic Statistics and Introduction to
-Essential Geostatistics (Spatial Statistics)
-Reservoir Modeling
a. Reservoir Modeling using Estimation Algorithms, Conditional Simulation Algorithms and Object-Based Methods
-Forecasting and Uncertainty Assessment
a. Decline Curves to Reservoir Simulation
b. Forecasting Accuracy vs. Forecasting Bias – Current State of
-the Oil and Gas Industry (portions of this topic were presented in 2015 (initial) and 2018 (updated) as part of the SPE Distinguished Lecturer program)
