Petroleum Reservoirs
e-Learning
About the eLearning Course
In Petroleum Reservoirs, you will learn about basins and plays, unconventional resources, and petroleum systems; reservoir rock properties: porosity and permeability, grain size, distribution, and sorting; and fluid distribution and flow characteristics. You will also learn about structural and stratigraphic traps, reservoir mapping, reservoir phase behavior and fluid properties, reservoir classification, and phase diagrams.
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
