The course introduces methods to determine reservoir reserves; material balance equations; models of aquifers and flows in reservoirs; water flooding models; water injection methods; enhanced oil recovery; optimization processes for enhanced oil recovery; and analysis of non-conventional reservoirs. It also derives the Buckley- Leverett equation; investigates the correlation between the frontal advanced, fractional flow and water saturation; and calculates to determine parameters in 5-spot water injection models.
