Lecturer: Mahmoud Reza Pishvaie
Status (in the study program):
Optional course in graduate study; Compulsory for H. Resrvoir Eng. Group students.
Aims/Scope/Objectives: The students are acquainted with engineering judgment and formulation of simulation problems in oil/gas reservoirs and related issues. The basic aim/focus is to familiarize students with three key numerical methods or approaches of numerical solution of Partial Differential Algebraic Equations – PDAE, namely FDM,FVM/FWEM, BEM along with singularities (injection/production wells). The students learn the approach how to attack the reservoir simulation problems through the convenient formulation and suitable method of solution. The graduates of this study are equipped with theoretical and practical knowledge of both numerical and professional reservoir/production engineering.
Syllabus:
· Introduction to formulation.
· Mathematical backgrounds of dynamic and distributed modeling.
· Finite Difference Methods - FDM.
· Finite Elements/Volume Methods – FEM/FVM.
· Boundary Elements Methods – BEM and GEM.
· Applications and case studies.
· Advanced topics.

General rules for examination of this course
ü
You are expected to do
Assignments Individually
ü
Final project can be
handled in group, if you will.
ü
It is not allowed to
hand in solutions copied from other students, or from elsewhere, even if you
make changes to the solutions. If there is suspicion of such or any other form
of cheating, that assignment/project mark will be kindly averaged to those
participants multiplied by a factor less than 1.0 !!
ü
All Programs should be
written in MATLAB language.
ü
All reports should be typed
in Microsoft Word processor.
ü
DEADLINES are really an
important matter in this course. Unless an arrangement has
been approved, assignments/project handed in late will be penalized 10% per day,
and will not be accepted beyond a week overdue.
ü
The assignments/project
related programs, files and the .pdf/.doc/.docx version of the report(s) should
be submitted electronically through
biniaz.ebrahim@gmail.com and a CC to
pishvaie@sharif.edu within due time.
ü The HWs/assignments/project and related programs, files and the .pdf/.doc/.docx version of the report(s) should be compressed as a just one single file and the subject should identify the "Student Name", "his std number", and most importantly, "Res-Simulation HW #?" and then being submitted afterwards. Everyone who violates those criteria will be kindly penalized!

Term Project : Choose one of SPE matches (except the 1st one) to re-examine and arrange your group. Do announce your decision (which match?), simulator/library/in-house coding and the group in-chief (if there are more than one student in), before the end of semester.
