CARBONATE RESERVOIRS

Training Syllabus:
CARBONATE RESERVOIRS

COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course starts with a comprehensive overview of the basic characteristics of the carbonate depositional system important to carbonate reservoir development. The application of sequence stratigraphic concepts to carbonates as a predictive tool in exploration for and modeling of carbonate reservoirs will be stressed. The engineering and geologic aspects of carbonate pore systems will be explored. A geologic-based porosity classification useful in exploration will be developed and contrasted with an engineering-based porosity classification useful for detailed reservoir characterization and reservoir simulation. Carbonate porosity modification and evolution will be discussed in a sea level driven sequence stratigraphic framework. Problems of reservoir heterogeneity and carbonate reservoir modeling will be discussed. A major component of the course is a series of practical exercises utilizing actual subsurface data sets that include geophysical logs, core data, biostratigraphic data and seismic. These exercises will give the participant hands on experience in developing viable exploration and exploitation strategies for carbonate terrains.

DESIGNED FOR
Exploration and development geologists, exploration and development managers and geophysicists as well as engineers with some geologic background will benefit.
