Course Overview

Reservoir engineering plays a vital role in maximizing hydrocarbon production and extending the life of oil and gas fields. This Reservoir Engineering and Enhanced Recovery Techniques Training Course provides participants with the technical knowledge and applied skills to analyze reservoirs, model performance, and implement enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods.

The course covers reservoir characterization, fluid flow principles, material balance, and simulation techniques. Participants will also explore EOR strategies such as thermal recovery, gas injection, and chemical flooding, supported by case studies from around the world.

By the end of the course, participants will be prepared to improve recovery efficiency, reduce production decline, and apply innovative reservoir management strategies.
