Reservoir characterization & modeling - IFP Training Certificate
RCM-EN-P
Who should attend?
This course provides a comprehensive, practical knowledge of reservoir characterization and modeling workflow, via hands-on activities and case studies with the aim of bridging the gap between static geological characterization and dynamic reservoir behavior.
Public :
Geoscientists, engineers newly hired or 2-3 years experienced, experienced technicians involved in multidisciplinary teams, willing to widen their knowledge and acquire practical know-how in geological modeling.
Level :Skilled
Prerequisite :
Engineering or geoscience degree or equivalent professional experience, with basic knowledge in reservoir modeling.
Course Content
INFORMATION
Lectures, hands-on activities and case studies are distributed in several modules of 1-2 weeks long.
Training content presents a clear operational orientation in order for participants to get familiar with specific techniques via an extensive exposure to simulations on real cases allowing them to anticipate the problems they will have to cope with later in their own projects.

Part 3: FINAL PROJECT WORKSHOP
-
Duration : 10 Days
Final project. Hands-on workshop (team work). (2 weeks)
Presentation and jury.
Learning Objectives
Attendees will be able to implement the following skills:
understand the analysis methods and techniques applied to reservoir modeling with related challenges,
analyze and interpret a dataset and integrate it in order to elaborate a reliable static model,
build a consistent geological static model with heterogeneities affecting fluid flow and production,
assess the uncertainty and risks in order to reduce them and thus optimize investments.
Ways & Means
Hands-on activities and simulations on real cases.
Emphasis on practical work to develop participants’ autonomy and appropriate decisions.
Both personal and group work, team-building, group discussion in results and workflows.
Software tools used in the petroleum industry.
Software used during workshops: with courtesy of Beicip-Franlab, Schlumberger.
Learning assessment
Knowledge assessment with multiple choice questions and open explanatory questions.
Initial and final evaluation at the beginning and end of the program to assess participants’ learning curve.
Final project at the end to simulate operational situation to be presented to a jury.
