Course overview
This course aims to provide students with a comprehensive exploration of reservoir engineering principles and practices, emphasising essential topics such as Darcy's Law, storage and flow capacity, material balance equations, and displacement theories. Through a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical applications, students will develop analytical skills and techniques necessary for effectively managing subsurface reservoirs containing oil, gas, or water. By delving into reservoir characterisation and fluid flow modeling, students will gain insights into optimising resource recovery while minimising environmental impact. This course equips students with the knowledge and tools to contribute meaningfully to the sustainable management and development of hydrocarbon reserves in the energy sector.
