- Understand the concept of capillary force, viscousforce and how it traps the oil.
- Understand the sampling and analysis of reservoir fluid and to develop flooding fluid which is suitable for that particular field.
- Understand the flooding mechanisms.
- Understand how gas injection works to maintain the reservoir pressure and to understand the mechanism leading to positive skin.
