Course Overview
The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in multi-layer reservoir fluid simulation; it has added to it. Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how fluid simulation is controlled. The programme works equally well for those formalising the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Applied research in energy and hydrocarbon operations consistently shows that early structure around multi-layer reservoir fluid simulation reduces downstream rework. Moving the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Participants gain a realistic view of what fluid simulation costs and what it returns. It establishes a shared vocabulary for multi-layer reservoir fluid simulation so that teams can disagree productively about it. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in fluid simulation rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. The programme closes with an action plan for the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda that each participant writes for their own organisation.
