Reservoir Engineering Laboratory
Primarily a design laboratory. Design experience includes detailed studies
of evaluation of original hydrocarbons in place, reservoir mapping,
reservoir description and fluid characterization, fluid flow porous media,
material balance analysis applied to determination of original oil/gas in
place, reservoir behavior/performance, recovery factor, reserves estimation
(primary recovery), and pressure transient behavior including draw down and
buildup analysis.
The laboratory experimental component includes utilization of polar
planimeters for evaluation of hydrocarbon bearing rock volume from
structure, isopachous, isovol maps; average reservoir pressure from isobaric
maps. Additional desired laboratory experiences would include PVT studies
using a computer- integrated mercury free PVT system for fluid phase
behavior analysis and gas-oil-water relative permeability apparatus for
measurement of simulations rates of multi phase flow in core sample.
