This course is suitable for the practicing production and reservoir engineers who are involved in exploitation and prediction of hydrocarbon reserve analysis. Individuals who are responsible for forecasting future production will also benefit from this course.

This is an in-depth course that is designed to provide the participants with a solid understanding of reservoir engineering and associated modern theories in order to manage and maximize hydrocarbon recovery. Hands-on examples and exercises are used throughout the course to help participants with understanding key concepts.
