INTRODUCTION
By the end of the course, participants will have gained a foundational understanding of reservoir engineering that they can use while moving forward in their training. because this course will introduces reservoir engineering concepts and methods to enable cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas and experience. It provides the required input to help you understand questions crucial to the reservoir engineer: such as , How much oil & gas is there (accumulation)? How much can be recovered (reserves)? How fast can it be recovered,
Also This course offers the know-how knowledge to make everyday decision-making become simple(rate)?, The theory concepts will be covered to assist reservoir and exploitation engineers to effectively understanding and performing their main tasks; determining oil and gas reserves and maximizing hydrocarbon recovery under primary, secondary, and tertiary schemes with emphasis on the bottom-line results. Other topics such as well test analysis, horizontal well applications, and reservoir drives will be covered.

COURSE OBJECTIVES
At the end of this course you will be able to:
- Describe and explain porosity, permeability, and fluid saturations
- Discuss the recovery factors of different drive mechanisms.
- Determine the properties of natural gas, oil and water
- Explain and define saturated reservoirs, undersaturated reservoirs, bubble point pressure, oil and gas formation volume factors, gas oil ratio
- Describe a hydrocarbon reservoir and list the fluids found in it
- Calculate the volume of hydrocarbon in place and recovery factors Derive the general material balance equation, modify it and use it to calculate hydrocarbon in place for gas reservoirs, saturated reservoirs and under saturated reservoirs
- Illustrate with diagrams how these fluids are distributed in a hydrocarbon reservoir
- Explain the use of fractional flow equations and Immiscible displacement concepts
