Advanced Gas Condensate Engineering and Evaluation |
|
Instructors: William D. McCain, Jr., Ph.D.
Course Length: 1 to 3 DAYS
Course CEUs: 0.8 - 2.4
Course Description
A complete study of gas condensate properties and reservoir engineering, starting with basic concepts and ending with preparation of equations-of-state for use in compositional reservoir simulation. Preparation of an equation-of-state for use in compositional simulation is usually done with commercial software, using service company laboratory fluid property data. The strengths and weaknesses of the laboratory procedures, the mysteries of equations-of-state, procedures for calculating vapor-liquid equilibria with equations-of-state and the various options for adjusting parameters of equations-of-state to cause the calculations to match laboratory data are revealed.
Who should attend
Engineers involved in performing or supervising others who are performing compositional reservoir simulation. Anyone who needs an understanding of what occurs inside commercial equation-of-state software will benefit from this course.
