Oil and Gas Reservoirs: Fundamentals
e-Learning
About the eLearning Course
This program covers the nature and formation of the traps in which oil and gas have collected. You will learn about the formation of sedimentary rocks, the significance of porosity and permeability in the development of a reservoir, the migration of oil and gas during the formation of a reservoir, and the kinds and effects of reservoir pressures.
Target Audience
Operations personnel who require a fundamental understanding of knowledge to operate and maintain facilities. Also suitable for maintenance and technician personnel whether new to their roles or seasoned experts looking to enhance their skills.You Will Learn
