Reservoir Engineering is the science that deals with the study and understanding of the production characteristics of oil and gas fields under various circumstances. It involves understanding how much oil is present and how much of that oil can be produced economically and how long is it going to produce. A strong understanding of reservoir engineering concepts is necessary for planning, development and production of any oil and gas field.
