Dr Deepak Devegowda Study Abroad Course in Madrid, Spain, May 2017 COURSE TITLE: SHALE OIL AND GAS RESERVOIR ENGINEERING (PE 4990) LECTURER: Dr Deepak Devegowda, Associate Professor in the Mewbourne School of Petroleum and Geological Engineering, University of Oklahoma RECOMMENDED READING: Textbooks: There is no specific textbook for this course Readings will be assigned periodically throughout the course from papers, dissertations and other articles that are seminal works in expanding our understanding of unconventional oil and gas reservoir engineering, specifically for shale oil and gas reservoirs Course Notes: Course notes in the form of slides and handouts will be posted periodically Software: CMG (Blackoil and compositional), and WINPROP, a compositional analysis package Temporary licenses for the duration of the course will be made available COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course provides a basic understanding of unconventional reservoirs, specifically mudrocks/shales As such it will be of immense value to petrophysicists, geophysicists and petroleum engineers who are interested in the more recent developments in the past decades in our understanding and exploitation of shales The topics to be covered include shale petrophysics, formation evaluation, fluid flow and PVT in shale nanopores, shale well completions, production data analysis and well performance predictions and recovery estimates The course content will place equal emphasis on conceptual theory and in-class practical exercises and is targeted towards petroleum engineers desiring a strong fundamental understanding of improved oil recovery with a view to practicing this discipline in their respective careers TARGET AUDIENCE: This course targets petroleum engineers and geologists who wish to understand the latest developments in shale oil and gas reservoir engineering A significant proportion of the Energy Institute of the Americas, Mewbourne College of Earth & Energy, The University of

research interests lie in the areas of understanding, modeling and management of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, highresolution reservoir description, and geostatistical reservoir characterization His research is also geared towards enhanced recovery processes, groundwater systems and contaminant transport He leads a US $ 1.2 million research grant administered by RPSEA (www.rpsea.org) to investigate shale gas and shale oil recovery He also heads a consortium of 11 partner companies to develop a shale gas simulator and is also supported by an industry grant for shale gas characterization He earned his Ph.D degree and M.S degree, both in Petroleum Engineering at Texas A&M University COURSE LOCATION: This Faculty-led course is coordinated with the Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain It will take place with 12-14 OU students and up to 15 Spaniard students and possibly a few professionals from the local industry COURSE Language: Course will be taught in English COURSE DATE: May 22 – May 30, 2017 It will meet a minimum of 40 contact hours OU students will receive 3 credit hours SUGGESTED SCHEDULE: Monday May 22 Full day of class 6 hours Tuesday May 23
