Of particular interest to reservoir engineers is generating accurate reserves estimates for use in financial reporting -- with five major activities of E&P -- interpretation and visualization, reservoir modeling and characterization, full reservoir simulation Reservoir simulation is an area of reservoir engineering in which computer models are used to predict the flow of fluids (typically, oil, water, and gas) through porous media. , mapping and modeling, and data management.
