GEOL 60443 Applied Reservoir Simulation
Prerequisites: ENGR 40223 or GEOL 40423 or 60423. Oil and gas are essential sources of energy in the modern world. They are found in subsurface reservoirs in many challenging environments. Modern reservoir simulators are computer programs that are designed to model fluid flow in reservoirs. Applied reservoir simulation is the use of computer programs to help understand and forecast the performance of oil and gas reservoirs. Students will learn how to apply a reservoir simulator to a variety of realistic oil and gas problems. Graduate students will be expected to prepare and present a case study using current literature.
