Learning Objectives

  • Attendees will be able to implement the following skills:
  • 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™).
  • Software used during workshops: with courtesy of Beicip-Franlab and Schlumberger.

Learning assessment

  • Knowledge assessment with multiple choice questions and open explanatory questions.
