Course & Workshop

January 21-25, 2024

Instructor: Eng. Ahmed Ibrahim

Who Should Attend

Senior and experienced reservoir and production engineers, completion engineers, subsurface engineers, petrophysicists, log analysts, geologists and others involved in well surveillance, maximizing recovery, identifying production problems, or planning workover operations, and anyone interested in understanding production logs and cased-hole surveys.

About the Course:

The principles of field development plan for oil and gas reservoirs which include the reservoir management for conventional and unconventional are presented with emphasis on practical applications. Actual case histories are used to study both successes and failures. An interdisciplinary synergistic approach to efficient reservoir management is detailed with the goal of optimized profitability. The significance of each component and the importance of timing and cost/benefit analysis are emphasized. Reservoir management models for optimum field development and field operating plans are analyzed. The course is built around the role of the reservoir engineer and, hence, concerns itself with the integration and use of information to make well rate and recoverable volumes estimates … etc

Additional to Production Optimization which is along with Reservoir Management a central part of a company’s field development and deliverability strategy. Key factor in production optimization is the capability to mitigate formation damage during well construction and production routine operations. Formation damage mitigation can be accomplished assuring that operational details are achieved before reaching the pay zone to the last production parameters recorded.
