Reservoir Performance

In reservoir performance we cover the key concepts in reservoir engineering that enable reservoir performance prediction (production profiles, recovery factor etc.). These include the energy support (or drive) mechanisms naturally present (primary) and those methods that are introduced to increase recovery (secondary and tertiary). We will look at reservoir modelling using analytical techniques such as material balance and show how data from pressure transient analysis (well testing) can improve the model. To show these concepts in practice, we review reservoir modelling applications with commercial software.
