Introduction

Reservoir management and production optimization are vital disciplines in the oil and gas sector. Effective management of reservoirs ensures maximum recovery of hydrocarbons while maintaining long-term sustainability and minimizing costs. This requires a deep understanding of reservoir behavior, production techniques, and the use of advanced technologies for decision-making.

This 5-day training program, offered by Gentex Training Center, provides participants with the knowledge and tools to manage reservoirs effectively and optimize production strategies. The course blends theoretical foundations with practical applications, helping participants understand reservoir performance, evaluate production systems, and apply optimization techniques to increase recovery and operational efficiency.

Through real-world case studies, group discussions, and interactive exercises, participants will develop practical skills to balance reservoir sustainability with production goals. They will also gain valuable insights into industry best practices, modern technologies, and integrated reservoir management strategies.
