This document outlines a course on petroleum reservoir rock and fluid properties. It lists the course instructor, grading breakdown which is 50% final exams, and course aims which are to introduce critical reservoir properties of oil, gas, and water, and their PVT relationships. Upon completing the course, students should understand definitions of porosity and saturation, reservoir fluid behavior, and be able to calculate single and multiphase flow rates using Darcy's law. Recommended textbooks are listed.
