Petrophysical Properties: Core, Log & Test Data Integration for Reservoir Modeling

PETROD-EN-P

Who should attend?

  • This course provides a deep understanding of the methods used to measure reservoir petrophysical properties from cores, logs and well tests data and, ultimately, correlate and integrate results for reservoir characterization and modeling.
Public :
  • Petrophysicists, geologists, geophysicists and reservoir engineers.

Level :Skilled

Prerequisite :
  • Degree in geology, geophysics or reservoir engineering, or equivalent experience.

Course Content

  • RESERVOIR PROPERTIES FROM CONVENTIONAL & SPECIAL CORE ANALYSIS

      • Real case study: petrophysical synthesis.
  • RESERVOIR PROPERTIES FROM LOG EVALUATION

      • Seals, reservoirs and fluid characteristics.
      • Wireline logging operations and logs.
      • Open hole log interpretation methodology.
      • Determination of reservoir properties from log interpretation: lithology, porosity and water saturation (case study).

      • Connection with both geological and reservoir models building process.
      • Real case study: correlate, combine and integrate consistent information from logs, core description and petrophysics.
  • WELL TESTING

      • Well test introduction and generalities.
      • Well test interpretation methods.
      • Examples and type curves.
      • Real case study: well test interpretation and integration with petrophysics.
  • DATA INTEGRATION FOR RESERVOIR MODELING

Learning Objectives

  • Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
  • deduce reservoir properties from log interpretation and compare results to core measurements,
  • define rock-types, determine electro-facies and derive K-Phi relationship,
  • integrate cores, logs and well tests data for reservoir modeling.

Ways & Means

  • Real case study with cores, logs and well tests data.
