What will I learn?
Master the fundamentals of porous and dispersed media through this targeted course that connects rock characteristics, Darcy flow principles, and multiphase flow to practical reservoir applications. You will learn to calculate porosity, permeability, and flow patterns, assess heterogeneity and high-flow pathways, perform precise sensitivity studies, record key assumptions, and convert raw data into dependable recommendations for reservoir development and performance improvements.
