60 Curtin Malaysia petroleum engineering students attended CMG simulation workshop

Miri – 29 May 2018 – 60 final year petroleum engineering students of Curtin University, Malaysia (Curtin Malaysia) attended simulation workshop to learn about Computer Measurement Group (CMG) software package at its campus recently.

The two-day workshop was co-organised by Curtin Malaysia’s department of petroleum engineering and student-run organization, Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) student chapter. The workshop was conducted by CMG staff Azman Maula.

The CMG simulation workshop focused mainly on the modelling and analysis of the reservoir’s condition to broaden the knowledge of students on the topic and improve their technical skills in CMG software operations.

On the first day the students were introduced to CMG simulation software by demonstrating the operation of CMG’s builder to create PVT data, relative permeability data, average monthly production, field production history and adding well trajectories with perforations.

Azman also guided the students on production steps and pressure graph analysis by using IMEX datasets.

On the following day, the students were given the opportunity to practice and work on water injection, gas injection schemes and introducing hydraulic fracturing to their base model.

CMG is an international corporation that develops market-leading reservoir simulation software, which is recognized worldwide as the industry standard for advanced recovery processes in petroleum production.
