Course Description
The objective of this course is basically to provide the students with a solid and improved knowledge in both the classical and modern theories of both reservoir simulation and the modelling thereof. In this respect, partial differential equations related with fluid flow in porous media as well as the use of the finite-difference equations in solving reservoir flow problems for various boundary conditions will also be introduced in detail within the scope of the course. Also, the fundamentals of petroleum reservoir simulation and modelling will also be on the agenda of the course. The students will also be supplied with real life worked examples in relation to reservoir simulation and modelling.
