This course is design for engineers actively involved with the management and operation of gas reservoirs.

Thorough evaluation and proper management of conventional and unconventional gas reservoirs requires an understanding of not only the fluid behavior in the reservoir, but also the sampling and testing procedures together with the wellbore performance. This course addresses the key subjects concerning the performance of all types of gas reservoirs systems from reserve evaluation to production optimization planning.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptop computer to class.
