Petroleum Reservoir Engineering Detailed Syllabus for B.Tech third year second sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Petroleum Reservoir Engineering B.Tech 2016-2017 (R16) third year second sem is as follows.
B.Tech. III Year II Sem. L/T/P/C
Course Code: PE602PC 4/0/0/4
Prerequisites: Chemical Engineering Fluid Mechanics, Petroleum Geology, Chemical Process Calculations
Course Objectives:
- Recognize the central role of reservoir engineers in describing, evaluating and managing the reservoir system and, therefore, strive to gain a sound understanding of scientific principles used in the basic activities of reservoir engineering.
- Emphasize the impact of reservoir fluid behavior on reservoir exploitation.
- Understand the mechanics of oil and gas production in reservoirs and be able to apply the basic quantitative tools of reservoir engineering to analyze and/or predict the behavior of the reservoir under potentially useful production schemes.
Course Outcome: The student would be able to understand mechanics of oil production (natural reservoir energies and expulsion of fluids), and basic performance characteristics of various reservoir types to interpret performance characteristic curves for each reservoir type.
UNIT-I Some basic concepts in Reservoir Engineering: Calculation of Hydrocarbon volumes – fluid
pressure regimes – oil recovery and recovery factor – volumetric gas reservoir engineering – application of the real gas equation of state – gas material balance and recovery factor – Hydrocarbon phase behavior. PVT analysis for oil: definition of the basic PVT parameters – collection of fluid samples – determination of the basic parameters in the laboratory and conversion for field operating conditions – alternative manner of expressing PVT lab analysis results – complete PVT analysis.
UNIT-II Material balance applied to oil reservoirs : general form – the material balance expressed as a
linear equation – reservoir drive mechanism – solution gas drive – gascap drive – natural water drive – compaction drive under related pore compressibility phenomena. Darcy’s law and applications: Darcy’s law and field potential – sign convention – units and units conversion – real gas potential – datum pressures – radial steady state flow and well stimulation– two phase flow – effective and relative permeabilities.
UNIT-III The basic differential equation for radial flow in a porous medium – derivation of the basic
radial differential equation – conditions of solution – the linearization of the equation for fluids of small and constant compressibility.Well inflow estimation for stabilized flow conditions: Semi – steady – state solution – steady state solution – example of the application of the stabilized inflow equations – generalized form of inflow equation under semi steady state conditions.
