Module Description After competition of this course, students will know basement of reservoir engineering. They will gain essential knowledge which each oil/gas engineer should know. 2. Learning Outcomes By successful completion of this module students will be able to: Learning OutcomeLearning Activity Explanation In this course will be studied basics of reservoir engineering. . 1. Lectures Lectures will be divided into several modules 2. Calculations and assignments. There will be practical calculations and drawings in order to get deeper knowledge of petroleum industry. 3. Lab work together with petrophysics course. Sometimes will be necessary to do labs for reservoir fluids and sometimes for petrophysics. For better understanding the laboratories will be carried out together with reservoir fluids course 3.

Teaching and Learning Details The “reservoir fluids ” is a theory, lab based, practical assessments and pc demonstration module and will be delivered by a combination of lectures, discussion, experiments and software demonstration to show reservoir fluid properties. This course is essential for further developtment of oil and gas engineers. 5.
