Reservoir Engineering

Reservoir Engineering determines the initial oil volumes in place, the recoverable volumes and the production volumes to be produced as function of time.

To achieve the objectives, the reservoir engineer needs to understand the rocks, the fluids, the pressures and the changes in volumes that will results as the production progress.
