The primary objectives of this course are for the student to
- recognize reservoir simulation as the ultimate tool for addressing subsurface uncertainty and learn how to utilize the simulator for this purpose.
- learn fundamental concepts pertaining to numerical modeling, particularly of hydrocarbon reservoirs;
- learn how to build and use numerical models as an efficient tool for accurate description and performance analysis of reservoirs;
- recognize and address fallacies and traps associated with numerical methods and reservoir models.
