Fundamental PVTsim Course (2 Day)
The Course
This 2-day PVT simulation course is designed for the engineer who needs to know the basic features of PVTsim. The participants will learn which fluid composition in a PVT report to enter and how ensure it is representative of the reservoir fluid. With a fluid composition as the only input the attendants will carry out engineering calculations for use in early production and design evaluations.
The course will teach how to control and improve a fluid model by adjusting model parameters to have the simulation results match experimental PVT data. This is done using PVTsim’ s manual and automated regression options. Input to external black oil and compositional simulators will be practiced and will involve generation of a fluid model with heavily lumped components for use in compositional reservoir simulations. It will be shown how to develop a fluid model for a clean reservoir fluid when only a mud contaminated sample is available
