Who should attend?

  • This course provides participants with proficient skills for the modeling using a software dedicated to fractured reservoir characterization and modeling.
Public :
  • Geoscientists and reservoir engineers involved in development of naturally fractured reservoirs.

Level :Skilled

Prerequisite :
  • Degree in geology or reservoir engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • Basic knowledge of fractured reservoirs.
