Content
The course provides insights into hydrogeological transport phenomena and skills to determine the recovery of reservoir fluids at different scales. Examples of methods taught are: PVT properties of reservoir fluids, petrophysics, capillary pressure, relative permeabilities, wettability preference, material balance for oil reservoirs, multiphase flow and streamline simulations.
