Reservoir Engineering & Simulation

The purpose of reservoir engineering is to provide the facts, information and knowledge necessary to control operations to obtain the maximum possible recovery from a reservoir at the least possible cost. Reservoir simulation is an area of reservoir engineering that combines physics, mathematics, and computer programming to a reservoir model allows the analysis and the prediction of the fluid behavior in the reservoir over time. It can be considered as the process of mimicking the behavior of fluid flow in apetroleum reservoir system(including reservoir rock and fluids, aquifer,surface and subsurface facilities) using either physical or mathematical models.It’s a valuable tool to understand the oil and gas reservoir performance under various operating strategies.
