About the eLearning Course
This skill module brings your attention to reservoir surveillance (RS) objectives, activities, and plans and the link to uncertainty.
Target Audience
Engineers or geoscientists who will occupy the position of reservoir engineer, and any other technically trained individual who desires a more in-depth foundation in reservoir engineering.
You Will Learn
Participants will learn how to:
- A surveillance plan's objectives must be aligned with asset specific tactical details
- Surveillance activities must add value and they do not after reaching a certain optimum
- How to calculate the Value of Information derived from surveillance activities
- How surveillance activities reduce uncertainty
- The surveillance plan must change constantly as asset objectives change
- The impact of the production and well environment, including well construction concepts and how this impacts RS activities
- How production allocation impacts the quality of the data and the impact of data frequency
