Overview






The course syllabus has a clear course objective, which can support the "graduation requirements" in the undergraduate program. The course content is scientific, advanced, and reflects the advanced core theories and achievements of the disciplines and specialties. The course content is internationally advanced. The content of the course is in line with the core content of the reservoir engineering course in the SPE Model Petroleum Engineering Curriculum issued by the SPE Advisory Committee, which is jointly prepared by Chinese and foreign experts. ② The course content emphasizes engineering practicality. The teaching content is based on the reservoir engineering problems in oil and gas field development, strengthening the engineering analysis and calculation methods corresponding to each knowledge point on the premise of understanding key concepts, and emphasizing the introduction of Excel, Python and other calculation and analysis means to improve students' engineering data processing and analysis ability in the assignments. ③ The course content is reasonably arranged, highlighting the basic knowledge of reservoir engineering, appropriately combining with the cutting-edge of low-carbon content, and appropriately handling the relationship between classical and modern.

Reservoir Engineering course was taught for the first time in China University of Petroleum (Beijing) in 2014, and has been taught for 10 rounds, with 256 undergraduates majoring in Petroleum Engineering taking the course, and the effect of the lectures is good. This course is a core course in petroleum engineering curriculum. The primary aim of the course is to present the fundamentals of the reservoir engineering by combining the concepts in petroleum geology, well logging, petrophysics, flow in porous media and applied mathematics. The course provides students with the basic principle, theory, methods and related disciplines with reservoir engineering. The students will be able to solve complex reservoir engineering problems in a practical manner, as analyzing various reservoir performance, writing an elaborate field development plan by applying the theory learned in this course. Specially, this course teaches the reservoir fluid properties and PVT analysis; determination of reserves; material balance methods; aquifer models; reservoir performance prediction; fundamentals of well testing analysis; immiscible displacement; displacement, pattern and vertical sweep efficiencies in waterfloods, and basic principles of carbon dioxide flooding and storage.
