PET E 377 - Modelling in Petroleum Engineering

3 units (fi 8)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

Basics of numerical reservoir simulation and numerical solution of partial differential equations. Simulation methods as applied to specific problems in petroleum reservoir behavior. Applications on primary, secondary and tertiary recovery phases of petroleum production using commercial simulation packages. Prerequisites: PET E 295 or PET E 373, Corequisite: CH E 374. PET E 377 cannot be taken for credit if credit has already been obtained in PET E 477.

PET E 649 - Advanced Reservoir Simulation

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

Simulation of recovery processes and various EOR methods such as water flooding, chemical flooding and gas flooding; PVT modeling; multiphase flash, compositional and thermal simulation. Modeling naturally fractured reservoirs. Prerequisite: PET E 477 or consent of instructor. Credit cannot be obtained for both PET E 649 and PET E 650.
