Apply analytical and numerical simulation techniques to the development, testing and refining of a reservoir model, and the generation of an optimal reservoir exploitation plan. Upon completion of this module, the participant should be able to:define reservoir simulation objectives, define simulator geometry and dimensions, and assign flow equations to the proposed model, define simulator grid and boundary conditions, compile reservoir model input parameters, develop finite-difference approximations to solve the flow equations, plan numerical simulation computer runs and interpret the results, and use simulation results to determine the optimum exploitation scheme.
