Quantitative Reservoir Characterization

Consultant/Trainer: Jaap Mondt

The Petrogenium (in collaboration with EPTS) Quantitative Reservoir Characterization participants in this course will gain a deep understanding of how to derive and interpret rock properties—such as porosity and fluid saturations—from quantitative analysis of pre-stack seismic data, which is central to reservoir characterization and exploitation. They will learn the importance of selecting and applying appropriate rock-physics models, with particular attention to the challenges of carbonate reservoirs where results are less unique compared to clastic reservoirs.

Participants

This Petrogenium course aims at Geologists, geophysicists, petroleum and reservoir engineers, involved in exploration and development of hydrocarbon fields. That means not only those involved in the production side but also geoscientists designing the acquisition of seismicandnon-seismic data needed for Quantitative Interpretation.

Learning Objectives

At the end of the course participants will have a solid foundation in Seismic Quantitative Interpretation. The aim of the course is to provide a solid conceptual understanding without going into mathematical detail. It uses a mixture of lectures, practical exercises and direct (workshop-like) participant involvement, complemented with case histories. Use of laptops for exercises and WIFI internet access in the classroom is mandatory.
