Carbonate Reservoir Characterization
Course Duration:
5 Working Days
Course Overview:
About 33% of the reserves occur in the carbonate. Hydrocarbon recovery from these fundamentally formation types needs a good understanding in terms of their geological architecture and the associated displacement processes. It is not only hydrocarbon recovery estimates, but field development planning and uncertainty management also needs to be tailored to reflect the formation types and their characterization. Since the applied fluid flow equations and recovery estimation techniques, in general, are not formation specific field cases (analogue) and experience play an important role in reserves assessment.
Course Objective:
This course focuses on the main elements that impact volumetric and recovery of carbonate fields in different phases of the field’s life cycle.
Course Content:
- The role and influence of geological environments on oil and gas reservoirs.
- Basic understanding of clastic and carbonates and reservoir characterization.
