PVT Properties of Reservoir Fluids Training

Oil, Gas & Petroleum · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 4,500

Overview

This Oil & Gas training course is designed to provide an understanding of the reservoir fluid properties and tools that are required for the estimation of hydrocarbon in place and reserves, designing the reservoir depletion process and the surface processing requirements, EOR method selection, identification and quantification of the marketable products and reservoir simulation studies. Following the completion of this course, all participants should be able to make decisions on field development planning with increased confidence.

Learning Objectives

• Describe the phase behavior of reservoir fluids and production mechanisms using phase diagrams
• Explain and define saturated reservoirs, under-saturated reservoirs, bubble point pressure, gas and oil formation volume factors, solution and producing a gas-oil ratio
• Determine the properties of natural gas, oil, and water required for reservoir engineering calculations
• Use PVT reports determining oil and gas reserves
• Optimize separator operating conditions and perform separator calculations
• Explain reservoir fluids characterization and EOS Tuning procedures
• Make a decision on field development planning
• Describe the phase behavior of gas hydrates

Frequently Asked Questions

What do Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum courses cover?

The portfolio spans the full value chain: upstream exploration, drilling and well control; midstream processing, pipelines and gas treatment; and downstream refining and petrochemicals — plus process safety management (PSM), HAZOP studies, corrosion control and plant operations. Trainers are practitioners from the sector.

Who should attend an oil, gas and petroleum course?

These courses suit process, production and petroleum engineers, plant and field operators and supervisors, maintenance and inspection staff, HSE and process safety professionals, and technical or commercial staff joining the sector from another industry.

How long are oil, gas and petroleum courses, and where are they held?

Most Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.

What certificate will I receive?

Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.

Can oil, gas and petroleum training be delivered in-house for our team?

Yes. Any Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum course can be delivered in-house at your own premises anywhere in Saudi Arabia or the GCC, with the content, dates and language of delivery tailored to your team. Al-Khobraa is an approved HRDF (Hadaf) provider, so eligible Saudi employers can seek training support. Contact us for a quotation.
