This course provides a clear and relevant workflow integrating geophysical, geological and engineering data to develop reservoir models for Naturally-Fractured Reservoirs (NFR). The course covers the geological aspects of natural fractures and their impact on the reservoir performance.
Public :
Geophysicists, geologists and reservoir engineers involved in integrated reservoir studies, geomodelers involved in fractured reservoirs looking for a full integration of all available data. Clastics, carbonates or shale play, the natural fractures will play a major role.
Level :Skilled
Prerequisite :
Degree in geology, geophysics or reservoir engineering, or equivalent experience.

Learning Objectives
Attendees will be able to implement the following skills:
Build a predictive 3D fracture model, constraining the model with the dynamic data,
Use neural network in order to recognize what controls the fractures density,
Identify sweet spots,
Generate porosity and permeability models for dynamic reservoir simulation,
Practice reservoir simulation and apply history matching techniques.
