Reservoir Characterization
Course Details
his is a course designed for geologists, geophysicists, reservoir engineers and production engineers who wish to develop a better understanding of the factors that influence hydrocarbon flow in their reservoirs. The course not only covers conventional sandstone and carbonate reservoirs but introduces participants to different types of unconventional reservoirs as well. Lithologies, depositional environments, the role of sequence stratigraphy in connectivity and compartmentalization, influence of fractures on reservoir quality and reservoir parameters such as porosity, permeability and net: gross are covered in detail. Here is a day-by-day breakdown of what we cover:Who Should Attend
Geologists, Geophysicists, Petrophysicists and Engineers who are actively involved in development roles and geomodeling.
