This Petrogenium course is suitable for Petroleum engineers, geologists and geophysicists involved with appraisal and development of carbonate oil and gas reservoirs.

This course aims at:

  • The carbonate-specific parameters and uncertainties that impact the HCIIP and the recovery
  • The data required to investigate these parameters
  • How to incorporate carbonate heterogeneities appropriately in static models
  • How heterogeneity patterns effect flow behaviour
  • Development options for different types of carbonate fields
  • Introduction to carbonates
  • Carbonates vs clastics
  • Carbonate factories
  • Platform types and controls
  • Facies Classification
  • Diagenesis & Fracturing
  • Rock Typing
  • Focus on volumetrics uncertainties
  • Seismic reflection issues
  • Fluid contacts
  • Net-to-gross in carbonates
  • Average porosity issues
  • Hydrocarbon saturation issues
  • Reservoir characterization and recovery
  • Heterogeneities in carbonates
  • Stratigraphic framework
  • carbonate sequence stratigraphy
  • Non-stratiform heterogeneities (e.g. fractures, karst)
  • Rock Typing
  • Upscaling issues
  • Static modeling concepts
  • Recovery techniques in carbonates
  • Differences in carbonate reservoirs through geologic time and implications for reservoir potential
