Optimizing Gas-Condensate Reservoirs: Maximizing Liquid Hydrocarbon Recovery by Conducting PVT and Compositional Reservoir Simulation Studies

This document describes a 5-day workshop focused on optimizing liquid hydrocarbon recovery from gas-condensate reservoirs through PVT and compositional reservoir simulation studies. The workshop covers fine-tuning equation-of-state models to laboratory PVT data, building reservoir models in Eclipse, and conducting simulation studies to develop optimal exploitation schemes for gas-condensate reservoirs, including depletion and gas injection scenarios. Intended for reservoir engineers and simulators, attendees will gain skills in quality checking PVT data, building EOS and reservoir models, and using simulation to manage gas-condensate reservoirs.

This state-of-the-art hands-on training workshop focuses on the issues related to building reservoir fluid
models in PVTi (PVT simulator) and constructing fit for purpose reservoir simulation models in Eclipse-300
(compositional reservoir simulator). Attending this workshop will enable the workshop attendees to acquire
the required proficiency to independently quality check the laboratory PVT data, build appropriate reservoir
fluid models (pseudo black oil and fully compositional) in PVTi, and use those to construct reservoir
simulation models in Eclipse-300. These are essential skills required for management of gas-condensate
reservoirs, right from planning to optimization of performance of developed reservoirs, and reserves
booking.

OPTIMIZING GAS-CONDENSATE RESERVOIRS: MAXIMIZING LIQUID HYDROCARBON
RECOVERY BY CONDUCTING PVT AND COMPOSITIONAL RESERVOIR SIMULATION

Duration and Scope


This high-level workshop is of five (5) days duration and it involves a discussion of the issues related to
fine-tuning an EOS and conducting reservoir simulation studies for development of gas-condensate
reservoirs. The discussions start with issues related to gas-condensate reservoir fluid sampling and
laboratory analysis of the fluid samples to enable the attendees to appreciate the uncertainties in the data
quality. After an introduction to equation-of-state (EOS) models, the techniques of analyzing laboratory data
for consistency, using PVTi, are discussed. The discussions then move on to the general principles of
building equation-of-state (EOS) models and fine-tuning them to the laboratory measured PVT data. Specific
techniques that are handy in modeling gas-condensate systems, like semi-continuous thermodynamic
splitting, special regression, and grouping of components, are discussed in detail.

The second part of the workshop discusses building fit for purpose reservoir simulation models in Eclipse-
300 to study PI reduction in wells due to liquid drop out, and issues in the development of gas-condensate
reservoirs in simple depletion, gas cycling above dew point, and gas cycling below dew point, to optimize
liquid recovery.

Who Should Attend


This five (5) days workshop is custom-designed for reservoir engineering and simulation, and other,
professionals, familiar with reservoir engineering principles, and interested in mastering the use of PVTi and
Eclipse-300 for conducting state-of-the-art PVT and compositional reservoir simulation studies with the
objective of maximizing liquid hydrocarbon recovery from gas-condensate reservoirs.

Workshop Requirements
Each workshop attendee should bring their own notebook computer to work on the class problems. Class
rooms should be equipped with power strips for attendees to plug in their notebook computers and a
projector for instructors to project their PowerPoint slides.

Workshop Manual
Each workshop attendee will be provided a workbook (in English) containing copies of the instructors’
presentation slides and solutions to the class problem.

Workshop Instructors
This custom designed workshop will be conducted by our high-level and seasoned consultants, with
extensive knowledge and experience in the subject matter as well as in conducting training programs
around the world.

RECOVERY BY CONDUCTING PVT AND COMPOSITIONAL RESERVOIR SIMULATION

Language of Instructions
This workshop will be conducted in the English language. However, if desired by the client, one of our bi-
lingual consultants can be present throughout the workshop for the benefit of those attendees who are not
fluent in the English language. This workshop can be customized further to meet the needs of the client’s
professionals and managers.

Workshop Logistics
Since this hands-on training workshop will utilize PVTi (PVT Simulator) and Eclipse 300 (compositional
reservoir simulator), this workshop should be held in the client’s office, and it will be the client’s
responsibility to provide, during the duration of this workshop, PVTi and Eclipse 300 software license to
each workshop attendee, and to workshop instructors, to work on the class problems. It will be ideal if each
workshop attendee could be provided a license, if that is not possible then may be two attendees could be
provided one license enabling them to work on the problems together.
