Reservoir Simulation: Principles of simulating engineering systems by partial differential equation systems; considers the use of engineering principles in formulating mathematical simulation models and analytic techniques for solving the resulting mathematical models. Fundamental theory of mass, momentum and energy transport in porous media. Principles and tools for description and modeling of spatial variability in oil/gas reservoirs and other geological formations. Topics include review of basic statistic concepts, exploratory spatial data analysis, stationary and ergodicity, variogram and covariance, kriging, spatial sampling, stochastic realizations and simulations, conditioning, and indicator kriging. Commercial reservoir simulation software, e.g. Eclipse and VIP, will be discussed; Role of simulation in reservoir management. Practical aspects of data collection; Initiating simulation; Applications to improved recovery techniques. The course also covers coordinate geometries and types of models, managing a simulation run, defining initial conditions, history matching and prediction.
