The reservoir life cycle and how requirements for successful operation of a reservoir throughout its entire life change will be discussed. Development of a field goes beyond technical expertise; it requires consideration of economics, the environment, the government (regulations) and the public. Reservoir management therefore requires sophisticated tools to make decisions and determine a course of action. Different formal approaches for optimum field development and field operating plans are analyzed. How different disciplines, or team members, contribute to reservoir management is outlined as well as how checks and balances are maintained.

Applied Reservoir Management
The reservoir life cycle and how requirements for successful operation of a reservoir throughout its entire life change will be discussed. Development of a field goes beyond technical expertise; it requires consideration of economics, the environment, the government (regulations) and the public. Reservoir management therefore requires sophisticated tools to make decisions and determine a course of action. Different formal approaches for optimum field development and field operating plans are analyzed. How different disciplines, or team members, contribute to reservoir management is outlined as well as how checks and balances are maintained.
OUTLINE
The need for reservoir management. The fundamentals of reservoir management: history, philosophy and recent developments.
Integration of geoscience and engineering. Synergy and team building. Styles of organization and formalized processes, such as decision analysis and field development programs.
Process:
o goals
o plans
o implementation
o monitoring and surveillance
o feedback / adapting plans
o best practices; reasons for failure and success in reservoir management
The modern integrated reservoir model, including the contributions of geology, well logs, seismic, geostatistics, production, laboratory, geomechanics and engineering data. Obtaining and analyzing data. How to management data.
Oil and gas reservoir performance analysis techniques including production analysis, analogies, correlations, volumetric, decline curves, classical material balance and numerical simulation.
The responsibilities of different team members.
How the current reserves definitions came about (proved, possible, and probable) and how this affects both field development and the operation of a company. The importance of securities regulations. Other reserves definitions used by governments (Established Reserves).
Reservoir management economics and optimization, such as optimum well spacing. The effects of risk and how to manage this.
Secondary and tertiary recovery. Fundamentals of waterflooding; immiscible displacement, heterogeneity, flood pattern, and recovery efficiency. Enhanced recovery processes thermal, chemical, and miscible. How to select the best method. Development planning and surveillance techniques.
Reservoir management case studies from the author s experience.
Participants reservoir management discussion.
