Course Goal:
Study the geological and engineering factors to evaluate and model the reservoir formations.
Course Objectives:
- To help in good teamwork and communication between the reservoir engineers and reservoir geologists.
- To give the petroleum & reservoir engineers the importance of the reservoir geology in evaluating and the principles of modeling reservoir formation by specifying the geological factors.
- The different geological factors, which affect the engineering activities, the drilling, logging testing, completion, development and production.
- Coordination between engineers and geologists is the main objective of this course.
Course Outline:
- The reservoir in perspective.
- Why petroleum reservoirs of same type are different?
- How reservoirs vary in size, configuration, distribution etc…?
- How geological factors affect engineering activities?
- Introduction to the seismic method.
- Carbonate reservoirs & Sandstone reservoirs.
- Non-marine reservoirs.
- How does diagnosis affect reservoir character?
- Reservoir properties.
- Structural geology & traps.
- Use of electric logs.
- Cross sections & their significance.
- How integrated geological geophysical, and engineering data / studies are used in identify & predicting reservoir rock properties.
- Reservoir development strategies.
