The main objective of the course is how to develop an equation of state (EOS) model from start to finish. We start with the fluid sampling, walk you through different laboratory procedures and go into the details of what is important both before and after EOS model development. The course is designed to be practical, and as a participant, you will be exposed to both real data and actual industry problems.
Audience
Engineers that are exposed to advanced modeling of petroleum fluids, e.g. reservoir, production and processing engineers. Typically reservoir or flow assurance engineers.
