Course overview
Numerical simulation and modeling is widely used for sub-surface studies, analyze & predict the production performance and so on. The content here is dedicated to students/graduates or professionals of oil & gas engage within the reservoir or simulation studies. During this course, you become acquainted with the basic features and keywords of the  Blackoil and compositional simulator. An overview of the input data and file handling characteristics is followed by a presentation of each section of the input data and a practical exercise. The exercises allow you to construct a simulation model from scratch.
Course objective
The main objectives in the learning methodology proposed are the following:
1. To understand the role of numerical reservoir simulation in the context of reservoir economic development.
2. To understand the fluid flow equations in a porous media.
3. To understand the differences between compositional and black-oil model equations.
4. To understand the numerical discretization of fluid flow equations.
5. To grasp the general structure of an Input Data File in different simulation programs.
