In this module, students acquire the necessary tools and knowledge to accurately model the building blocks of subsurface
reservoirs and to accurately model flow of fluids/energy through these subsurface reservoirs. After completing this module, students will be able to:
Evaluate how to build process and stochastic reservoir models and choose appropriate rock properties or facies distribution [ILO
A,C]
Analyse the physics and develop an analytical model for two-phase flow, thermal processes and poroelasticity through porous
media with different assumptions and for different applications
Design a stable and consistent numerical method for modelling of flow and transport in porous rocks
Implement and create the three model types (reservoir model, analytical two-phase flow, numerical flow model) with geo-energy
related software and codes
Apply the models to geo-energy related test cases and analyse the solutions with respect to the role of uncertainties, sensitivities,
relationships and consequences critically for the different test cases
Work as a team on subject related problems and report findings and interpretations, including codes and choices made, in a
structured and consistent way.
