Learn how to apply STARS’s advanced functionality to thermal processes simulation, including:
  • CSS (Cyclic Steam Stimulation)
  • Steam Flooding
  • SAGD
  • Air Injection
After reviewing basic concepts, you will be provided detailed instruction on the complexities of simulating these oil recovery processes. Discuss the phenomena involved in thermal recovery process and practice building a fluid model.

The course will teach engineers, geologists or technical personnel how to effectively generate a reservoir simulation model for each of the studied processes and analyze the results of each case.

Course Content
