Carbonate Reservoirs - PCR - In House Training

Carbonate Reservoirs - In-house training by PetroSkillsThis course can be conducted on site at your location exclusively for your staff. This rigorous workshop is a must for geologists, geophysicists, exploration and production managers and engineers dealing with exploration for and exploitation of carbonate reservoirs. 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. Case histories from around the world will be utilized throughout to illustrate important concepts. A major component of the workshop 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. A new book entitled Carbonate Reservoirs was prepared by Dr. Moore specifically for this course and was published by Elsevier International, Amsterdam in 2001. A CD in which all book illustrations are available in color on the CD accompanies the book. This book and the companion CD will be furnished to all course participants and will be the main reference resource for the course. Current journal...
