PVT (Pressure-Volume-Temperature) Properties of Reservoir Fluids

This PVT (Pressure-Volume-Temperature) Properties of Reservoir Fluids training course will utilise a variety of learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This training course will be highly interactive and participative. This involves regular discussion of applications as well as review questions on each topic.

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

• Describe the phase behaviour of reservoir fluids and production mechanisms using phase diagrams
• Explain and define saturated reservoirs, under-saturated reservoirs, bubble point pressure, gas and oil formation volume factors, solution and producing gas-oil ratio
• Determine the properties of natural gas, oil and water required for reservoir engineering calculations
• Use PVT reports to determine oil and gas reserves
• Optimise separator operating conditions and perform separator calculations
• Explain reservoir fluids characterisation and EOS Tuning procedures
• Make decision on field development planning
• Describe the phase behaviour of gas hydrates

• Petroleum and Reservoir Engineers who need to determine accurate values of the properties of reservoir gas, oil and water for use in engineering calculations and Simulation studies
• Production and Operations Engineers who want to have an understanding of the way reservoir fluids behave, the reservoir depletion process and for designing surface processing requirements
• Petro-physicists, Geo-physicists, Geologists and Non – Engineers who work in teams with Petroleum and Reservoir Engineers to estimate hydrocarbon in place and reserves
• Analysts who are required to identify markets and product prices
• Managers who seek to derive greater decision making on field development
