COURSE Duration 3 days course

​

LEVEL: Foundation / Intermediary

 

DESIGNED FOR YOU, IF YOU ARE...

Geoscientists and reservoir engineers involved in multidisciplinary teams, willing to widen their knowledge in
reservoir characterization.

 

HOW WE BUILD YOUR CONFIDENCE

We will use interactive presentations, practical exercises from real Oil fields examples.

​

THE BENEFITS FROM ATTENDING

By the end of the course you will feel confident in your understanding of:

• the meaning of rock-types and their contribution to reservoir modeling,

• recognize facies and tie them to core facies,

• learn various porosity-permeability models and their use in rock-typing,

• define rock-types with petrophysical data (logs and laboratory data) by applying the basic petrophysics techniques (R35, Winland and Thomeer),

• J Functions,

• Saturations Height Functions,

• perform initial water saturation modeling as a QC of rock-types.

 

 

DAILY AGENDA

 

Day 1 – SUPERVISED ANALYSIS

1. The contribution of rock-types to reservoir modeling.

2. Defining Electrofacies, Containers, Flow Units and Rock Types.  

3. Core data information and description. Integration with log data.

4. Petrophysical techniques: R35, Winland's approach and Thomeer, examples

5. SCAL and MICP data: Introduction to SCAL data and MICP; What data to extract.

6. Capillary pressure curves transformation and integration in rock-typing.

7. Automatic processing of capillary pressure curves (with hands on)/J Functions

8. R35, Winland approach and Thomeer equations. Exercises examples.

9. Porosity and permeability modeling in connection with electrofacies.

10. Permeability models (Carman Kozeny, Lucia, etc.) and their use in rock-typing.

 

Day 2 - NON-SUPERVISED ANALYSIS

1. Rock Type definition: Probabilistic and neural network approaches for non-cored wells: Why use it?

2. Rock Typing Workflow

3. Rock-typing with petrophysical data and capillary pressure curves for por-perm transforms

4. Rock quality index (RQI, FZI, etc.) using Amaeful equations

5. 3D RRT models with cored and non-cored wells link to Porosity and Permeability models

 

Day 3 – J Functions and SHF

1. J Functions: definition and examples

2. Saturations Height Functions: Broock Corey, Lambda, Thomeer, J-Leverett

3. Perform initial water saturation modelling as a QC of rock-types
