About the Course
Advanced reservoir management requires sophisticated decision-support systems to optimize field development, calibrate complex reservoir models, and manage structural uncertainty. Our CMG CMOST Training Course addresses these technical challenges by equipping petroleum engineers and reservoir specialists with a comprehensive understanding of automated CMOST workflows. Guided by reservoir simulation experts, participants explore the mechanics of automated history matching, multi-objective optimization, and probabilistic uncertainty analysis. By combining core theoretical principles with hands-on simulation scenarios, this program prepares engineers to automate model calibration, run high-throughput sensitivity analyses, and evaluate competing field development strategies to deliver reliable, data-driven production forecasts.
