This course provides a comprehensive, practical knowledge of reservoir characterization & modeling workflow, via hands-on activities and case studies with the aim of bridging the gap between static geological characterization and reservoir dynamic behavior.
Public :
Experienced geoscientists and reservoir engineers involved in multidisciplinary teams, willing to widen their knowledge in reservoir characterization and modeling.
Level :Knowledge
Prerequisite :
Experience in geoscience or reservoir engineering, with basic knowledge in reservoir characterization.
Course Content
WEEK 1: RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION TEST
INTRODUCTION TO RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION
Reservoir characterization and modeling objectives.
Characterization and modeling workflows.
Data types, representativeness and related uncertainty.
Challenges of data integration.
RESERVOIR ARCHITECTURE
Seismic interpretation method and pitfalls. Hands-on: case study.
Well log analysis. Hands-on: quick-look analysis.
Static and dynamic information integration.
FACIES ANALYSIS - ROCK-TYPING
Litho-facies analysis (core description and upscaling methods).
Introduction to rock-typing: principle of electro-facies and petro-facies analyses.
Statistical analysis of sedimentological data (VPC analysis).
PETROPHYSICS & ROCK PROPERTIES - RESERVOIR HETEROGENEITIES
Mapping result for QC: gross thickness, N-t-G, reservoir properties.
VOLUME CALCULATION
Volumetrics: quantification of accumulation for selected parameters.
Sensitivity study on parameters.
Key parameters determination for risk assessment.
Final wrap up.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
provide a clear understanding of techniques and challenges related to reservoir modeling (focus on reservoir properties),
build required competencies for analyzing datasets and constructing reliable static model,
emphasize reservoir modeling main goal: reduce subsurface uncertainties (reduce risk and optimize investments).
Ways & Means
Interactive lectures, videos, practical exercises and hands-on activities with the aim of producing a reservoir model using dedicated software for rock-typing (EasyTrace™) and geomodeling (Petrel™).
