Introduction to tNavigator

Audience:
Reservoir engineers, geoscientists and other specialists who are interested in learning tNavigator.

Prerequisite:
Reservoir engineering background.

Duration: 
2 days.

Course content:

• Overview of tNavigator: parallel interactive hydrodynamic simulator.
• Graphical User Interface: 2D and 3D maps, graphs, buttons, settings, templates, bubble maps, cross-plots, histograms, well profiles.
• History Matching tools.
• Black-oil, compositional, thermal models.
• Job Queue. Multiple model versions.
• Field development planning – vertical and horizontal wells, well patterns.
• Waterflood optimization: streamlines, tracers, drainage tables and graphs, aquifers.
• Sector modelling: automatic Split and Merge workflow.
• Import, export data and reports. Results types, binary files, copying data for blocks, graphs, export of static and dynamic properties, loading measured data (BHP, RFT/MDT, LAS files and other).
• EOR methods in tNavigator: alkalines, surfactants, polymers.
• Hydraulic fractures.
• Schedule update. Loading well data: trajectories, events, groups, history tables.
• Advanced user map calculator: build any maps and filters to analyze data. Editing permeability, transmissibility multipliers, building in GUI any property map. Smoothing and interpolation.
• Correlations for RP, PVT, lifting tables available.
• Surface network.
• How to tune solver and timestep controls – description of tNavigator special calculation tuning settings, used to optimize model performance and calculation time.
• Assisted History Matching module usage example (can be included to this training on request).
• Model Designer (pre-processor) module usage example (can be included to this training on request).
