About the Course
The GEM Compositional Modelling & Phase Behaviour with WinProp Training Course provides participants with advanced knowledge and practical skills in compositional reservoir simulation, fluid characterization, and phase-behaviour modelling using WinProp and GEM. The course focuses on building reliable fluid models and applying compositional simulation techniques to complex reservoir and production scenarios.
Participants will learn how to characterize reservoir fluids, develop and tune equations of state (EOS), perform phase-behaviour calculations, construct PVT models, and prepare compositional fluid descriptions for simulation. The training also explores how compositional models can be applied to gas injection, miscible processes, volatile oil and gas-condensate reservoirs, enhanced oil recovery, and other challenging reservoir condThrough practical exercises and case studies, participants will develop the ability to build, validate, and apply compositional models, interpret phase-behaviour results, troubleshoot modelling challenges, and improve the reliability of reservoir simulation studies.itions.
