The main objective of this course is to acquire practical skills and tools on how to set up an asset depletion plan through a focused well and reservoir management approach. It is common in many asset teams to have an unclear picture of what future actions should be taken to the different wells and reservoirs as they deplete. In many cases, these actions are reactive rather than proactive. This is mainly due to a lack of a well-defined reservoir management and depletion plan or strategy.
This course presents you with the knowledge and tools to design a depletion plan. Such plan would be consistent with the increased understanding of the reservoir behavior obtained from focused reservoir management. The depletion plan is a comprehensive set of actions that the asset team designs to identify a way forward for every well by identifying future workovers, remedial work, gas lift methods, all the way to well abandonment. And for every reservoir by identifying underdeveloped areas, infill drilling targets, secondary recovery or IOR/EOR applications.

WELL & RESERVOIR & MANAGEMENT
Introduction
The main objective of this course is to acquire practical skills and tools on how to set up an asset depletion plan through a
focused well and reservoir management approach. It is common in many asset teams to have an unclear picture of what future
actions should be taken to the different wells and reservoirs as they deplete. In many cases, these actions are reactive rather
than proactive. This is mainly due to a lack of a well-defined reservoir management and depletion plan or strategy.
This course presents you with the knowledge and tools to design a depletion plan. Such plan would be consistent with the
increased understanding of the reservoir behavior obtained from focused reservoir management. The depletion plan is a
comprehensive set of actions that the asset team designs to identify a way forward for every well by identifying future
workovers, remedial work, gas lift methods, all the way to well abandonment. And for every reservoir by identifying
underdeveloped areas, infill drilling targets, secondary recovery or IOR/EOR applications.
At the end of this course, participants' knowledge will be reinforced in the following four areas:
Understand the source and quality of the existing field data
Increase the understanding of the well/reservoir behaviour
Integrate the newly acquired knowledge into a data acquisition/surveillance and depletion plan
Identify current knowledge gaps and what actions to take to close them.
Who should attend?
This course will be valuable for the following professionals:
Asset managers
Production technologists
Production geologists
Reservoir engineers that have already some experience on asset management
Course Content
Understand the data: production, pressure, fluid and rock/reservoir data.
Well and reservoir model types: how to create/update them. Advantages and disadvantages.
Well/reservoir/field forecast under different scenarios.
Data acquisition: equipment required and frequency.
Surveillance plan: procedure, flowcharts.
Field development planning: current and alternatives.
Well and reservoir depletion plan: what it is and how to use it.
Well folder.
Reservoir folder.
Field forecast consistent with depletion plan
Topics are introduced by lectures and discussion, and learning is re-enforced by practical small classroom exercises and a case
study during the last day of the course. Active participation is encouraged. Use of laptops and other handheld devices for the
exercises is encouraged and facilitated. Hand-out material in paper format will be provided.
Luis has over 27 years of experience in data integration, validation, reservoir surveillance & simulation, field
development planning and well reservoir management. Most of his professional career was spent in different operating
units very close to the core business. He has actively participated in the day-to-day activities as well as future field
development studies and played a central role in the decision process. For the last few years, he has been exposed to
the business/commercial aspects by getting involved in the planning and acquisition/divestment activities.
His career in reservoir engineering were spent working for several leading oil majors, including Exxon USA, Repsol, Shell International and
Addax. He has held technical as well as management positions in a number of locations such as in the USA, South America (Argentina and
Venezuela), Syria, Nigeria, and The Netherlands. He has been very much involved in the operations and reservoir management in a number
of geological environments and hydrocarbon systems ranging from light sweet oil in sandstones to sour heavy oil in carbonates. Luis
received a Master degree in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 1989.
