F.A.S.T. CBM Training Course
Who Should Attend: The F.A.S.T. CBM™ course is designed to help both junior and senior technical personnel gain a brief yet solid understanding of coalbed methane theory. The focus of the course is to familiarize users with using F.A.S.T. CBM™ software for reservoir engineering applications.
General Notes: 1 Day Course. Basic Windows navigation skills are recommended prior to attending.
Course Description
The course begins with a brief review of the theory involved in Coalbed Methane reservoir engineering to complement proficiency with the software. Participants are familiarized with the fundamental concepts of coalbed methane. Topics such as coal structure, storage mechanisms and transport mechanisms are covered and differences between coalbed methane reservoirs and conventional reservoirs are highlighted.
Participants then become familiarized with the main features of F.A.S.T. CBM™. They are shown various aspects of the software in more depth. To gain hands-on experience, participants are encouraged to follow along with a series of software examples and sample case studies. The examples allow participants to become familiar with the reserve determination, history matching, and gas and liquid forecasting.
Open discussion of CBM™ methodology and Fekete's F.A.S.T. CBM™ software are encouraged.
