Outline and Purpose of the Course	Fluid flow in an oil and gas reservoir and the geothermal reservoir is explained. Then, the reservoir properties relating to the flow, such as porosity, permeability, relative permeability, capillary pressure, and so on, are explained. Reservoir fluids' properties and their phase behavior are also explained. Furthermore, drilling and completion for an oil/gas well, log interpretation method, and well test analysis are presented.
Course Goals	The course goals are as follows: 1) to understand the basics of fluid flow in reservoir based on Darcy's law, 2) to master the properties of reservoir rock and fluids and their evaluation methods, 3) to obtain basic knowledge about oil/gas well drilling and completion methods, 4) to understand the log interpretation method and well test analysis.
Schedule and Contents	1st: Introduction (Explanation about class schedule and grade evaluation), Summary of oil field development, Reserves and reserve evaluation methods 2nd: Reservoir rock properties 1 (Porosity and Compressibility) 3rd: Reservoir rock properties 2 (Wettability and Capillary pressure) 4th: Reservoir rock properties 3 (Darcy's law, permeability, and effective permeability) 5th: Reservoir rock properties 4 (Relative permeability) 6th: Exercise for the reservoir rock properties 7th: Reservoir fluid properties 8th: Drive mechanism and material balance equations 9th: Oil well drilling and completion 10th: Electrical properties of reservoir rock 11th: Well logging 12th: Basic equation of fluid flow in a reservoir 13th: Basic theory of well test analysis 14th: Exercise of well test analysis 15th: Feedback (Review of this class and examination)
Evaluation Methods and Policy	The grade will be evaluated by the score of three report works and final examination. Their weight for the grading is 50% each.
Course Requirements	The knowledge of differential calculus, integral calculus, physical chemistry and exploration geophysics are necessary for this course.
Study outside of Class (preparation and review)	It is recommended to solve the homework problems with reviewing the course materials.
