Reservoir engineering plays a critical role in maximizing hydrocarbon recovery and optimizing field development. While basic reservoir engineering focuses on fluid flow and material balance, the increasing complexity of today’s reservoirs—including tight formations, fractured systems, unconventional plays, and mature fields—requires advanced reservoir engineering approaches.
The integration of reservoir characterization, numerical simulation, well test analysis, enhanced recovery strategies, and production optimization has become essential in the decision-making process. This advanced program equips petroleum professionals with the tools to evaluate reservoir performance, design development strategies, and apply modern techniques to maximize asset value.
