WHAT WAS THE MOST BENEFICIAL PART
OF THE CMG TRAINING COURSE?
Oil and gas operators are facing challenges previously unknown - the need for trained reservoir engineers
and the enhanced recovery of increasingly complex reservoirs. By using CMG reservoir simulation software,
reservoir engineers are able to maximize productivity and confdently conduct economic forecasts with
reduced risk and uncertainty.
CMG software is the industry standard for advanced processes reservoir simulation. After attending one
of our hands-on, industry focused training courses, attendees will be better trained to use the reservoir
simulation tools in the most effcient way, ultimately leading to faster and more accurate engineering
decisions. CMG offers a variety of courses from beginner to advanced, covering the full CMG software
suite, advanced processes and the varying reservoir challenges, as appropriate. Our courses are
developed and taught by highly experienced, specialist reservoir engineers, who discuss latest
technology trends in the oil and gas industry and application to reservoir simulation.
At CMG, we have built world-class training facilities that are equipped with the latest hardware
to provide a pleasant and an excellent learning experience for all attendees. All courses can be
held in one of our dedicated training facilities or delivered at your offce. Please contact one
of our training coordinators to discuss custom, on-site training courses in more detail.
CMG training courses are unique and effective:
1. Attendees have access to experienced instructors, drawn from our Consulting, Support
and Training engineering staff and software development team
2. Ability to hold courses in your offces or at a dedicated CMG facility
3. Ability to choose the course level according to your skill level (introductory,
intermediate, advanced)
4. Ability to customize the training, using your data, for immediate applicability to your
own projects
5. Offer a combination of lecture-type conceptual material with modular, hands-on labs
and tutorials building upon prior developed skills and knowledge; learn by practicing
within the software products on relevant projects
We invite you to attend one of our training courses to learn why CMG software continues
to be the industry standard for advanced reservoir simulation processes.

IMEX, THREE-PHASE, BLACK
OIL SIMULATOR
IMEX is one of the worlds fastest conventional reservoir simulators. IMEX is a fullfeatured, threephase, fourcomponent,
black oil reservoir simulator for accurately modelling complex heterogeneous faulted structures, primary and secondary

refnement (LGR), comprehensive well management, a pseudomiscible option, polymer fooding, dual porosity/
permeability, fexible grids, gas adsorption and more. Reservoir engineers use IMEX to move from history-matched,
primary production and waterfoods to enhanced recovery processes in GEM and STARS, quickly and easily.

GEM is an advanced, general EquationofState (EoS) compositional simulator that models the fow of threephase,
multicomponent fuids. GEM will model any type of reservoir where the importance of the fuid composition and their
interactions are essential to understanding the recovery process. GEM can accurately model primary, secondary, and
tertiary recovery processes, including thermal effects, as well as complex heterogeneous faulted structures, horizontal
and multilateral wells, and geomechanical deformation. GEM is used extensively for modelling unconventional gas and
liquidsrich shales, coal bed methane (CBM & ECBM) and CO
2
processes.
WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING...
GEM can be customized in different ways for shale gas simulation. This is very important due to many unknown facts
of shale. (Simulation of Shale, Tight Oil and Gas Reservoirs, November 2012)
We learned about WinProp and GEM updates. The operating guide was very informative, and very helpful
to improve our productivity. (Simulation of Shale, Tight Oil and Gas Reservoirs, October 2012)
The theory portion was very helpful. The tutorials were very effective in demonstrating the concepts.
(Geomechanics in GEM and STARS, March 2012)
The discussions with the instructor were directly related to what I needed to know to do my job as a reservoir
simulation engineer. (Geomechanics in GEM and STARS, March 2012)
Covering all the theory behind the model was of great beneft. There are so many different reservoir and
fracture properties taken into account. (Simulation of Shale, Tight Oil and Gas Reservoirs, January 2012)

ABOUT THE COURSE
Geochemical effects associated with CO
2
in the Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) process is an important trapping
mechanism which should be considered. Once CO
2
is injected into a reservoir, the trapping mechanism progresses
through residual gas trapping, solubility trapping, ionic trapping, and fnally to mineral trapping over 1000s of years.
At each step, the CO
2
is trapped in a more secure form. The chemistry of produced fuids from the reservoir records the
geochemical processes taking place in the reservoir. These can be used to place appropriate constraints on reservoir
modelling if geochemical reactions are incorporated. Because of the complexity and number of calculations required per
grid block in GEM, the dominant reactions occurring in the reservoir must be identifed through use of equilibrium and
kinetic geochemical modelling software and then specifed in GEM in order to calculate the amounts, types, and timing
of the geochemical trapping effciency.
The workshop will build up to the CO
2
Sequestration in GEM course where it will be discussed how residual and
solubility trapping leads to interactions between the fuids and minerals in the reservoir, resulting in ionic and
mineral trapping.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This one-day course is designed for engineers, geologists, or other technical personnel to precede the 2-day CO
2
Sequestration in GEM course.
COURSE CONTENT
The course covers the fundamental and the practical aspects of preparing appropriate geochemical datasets for GEM
using two geochemical software applications, SOLMINEQ
and GAMSPATH
.
The topics covered include:
Assessing reliability of water analyses (SOLMINEQ)
Correction of water analyses to down-hole conditions (SOLMINEQ)
Mixing of waters (SOLMINEQ)
Saturation state of minerals (SOLMINEQ)
Kinetics of mineral reactions (GAMSPATH)
Assessing probable mineral reactions within a grid block (GAMSPATH)
Incorporation of water chemistry and mineral reactions in GEM
GEM case study of short-term and long-term geochemical trapping
THIS COURSE IS TAUGHT BY ALBERTA INNOVATES
TECHNOLOGY FUTURES (AITF) PERSONNEL.

ABOUT THE COURSE
Carbon dioxide is emitted in vast quantities through the burning of coal and other fossil fuels for transport, heat, and the
production of electricity. CO
2
capture and storage is a practical method for reducing the amount of CO
2
released into
the atmosphere. There are presently four accepted methods for storing CO
2
in underground geological formations:
Storage in depleted oil & gas reservoirs
Use of CO
2
in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)
Use of CO
2
in Enhanced Coal Bed Methane (ECBM) recovery
Storage in deep aquifers (saline or fresh)
This training will address the latest methods of CO
2
storage. Deep saline aquifers seem to offer the most promise for CO
2
storage, as they are widely distributed, underlie most point sources of CO
2
emission and are not limited by the reservoir
size, as in the case of depleted oil and gas reservoirs. Also, saline water is not seen to have a use at present or the
foreseeable future due to the associated dissolved solid contents.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This two-day course is designed for engineers, geologists, or other technical personnel who would like to learn about
CO
2
Sequestration in GEM. Advanced knowledge of CMG simulator functions is required.
COURSE CONTENT
This course covers the fundamentals and the practical aspects of the simulation of CO
2
storage in saline aquifers with
the EoS geochemical compositional simulator, GEM, developed by CMG. Three important aspects of CO
2
storage are
covered: CO
2
solubility in brine, residual gas trapping, and mineralization of CO
2
over a long period.
The topics covered include:
Use of CMGs WinProp to generate fuid data for GEM
Geochemistry
Modelling gas solubility in the aqueous phase
Relative permeability effects on residual gas trapping
(hysteresis)
Simulation of fow and convection in aquifers
Conversion of CO
2
into minerals
Case studies with GEM:
Use of vertical and horizontal wells
Injection locations
Investigation of Water-Over-Gas Injection schemes and
associated benefts
The hands on section of the class will cover:
Building CO
2
sequestration simulation models
in saline aquifers
Visual and graphical analysis
of simulation results
