PVT Simulation

Course description

This is a basic 4 days PVT simulation course. Sufficient time and instructions will be given to allow the attandants to also understand the theory behind and the applicability of PVT simulation features outside their own primary field of expertise. Get to know PVTsim as a toolbox. Learn how to enter a fluid composition and do basic calculations. Get to understand the importance of a correct fluid composition. Be introduced to the most commonly used models in PVT simulations. Learn about the heavy end of petroleum reservoir fluids and how it is handled in PVT simulations. Find out what PVT experiments are standard performed on oil and gas condensate mixtures. Learn how PVTsim can be used as a preprocessor for other programs as for example Olga and Eclipse.

The course consists of an even split of presentations, demonstrations and hands-on exercises.

Course outline

The following topics will be covered

Who should participate?

Those who would like to get to understand the concepts of PVT simulation and learn how to use PVTsim. Those who plan to use PVTsim as a preprocessor for other software as for example Olga and Eclipse.

To get an optimum benefit of the course a compositional understanding is a prerequisite. Familiarity with/frequent use of technical software in general is advantageous.

Lecturers

Calsep engineering staff.

Time and Location

The course will be held at the Danish Engineering Association’s course center Kalvebod Brygge 31-33, DK-1780 Copenhagen V, www.ida.dk October 5 - 8, 2009.
