Course

Computational Reservoir and Well Modeling (PET510)

This course gives an introduction to how mathematical models can be used to describe flow processes taking place in reservoirs and wells. The student will get an introductionn to how such models can be solved by analytical and numerical techniques. Models in general are very much used in the petroleum industrt.


Dette er emnebeskrivelsen for studieåret 2013-2014. Merk at det kan komme endringer.

Learning outcome

• Have knowledge about standard numerical techniques that can be used to study petroleum related models

• Be able to formulate central (partial and ordinary) differential equations relevant for porous media and well flow, transient as well as stationary models. Know related closure laws and correlations that are invloved in such models.

• Be able to formulate discretizations of such mathematical models and assess properties like stability and accuracy.

• Be trained in implementing (in matlab) such numerical methods

• Know concrete applications of the models that are presented.

• Be able to apply MonteCarlo simulations for time/cost prediction of operations.

• Have a general understanding about the role played by mathematical models as a tool in petroleum related operations.
