Learning outcomes participants will learn to:
• Understanding the fundamental reservoir characteristics of different geological plays
• Facies analysis from core and utilizing all the petrophysical parameters derived from core to build robust rock
types.
• Understanding upscaling from thin section, core, borehole images into the geological model through to
simulation
• Understanding log measurements from historical wells to the latest technology and how to incorporate this data
into the reservoir model
• Understand the limitations/ uncertainty of data sets along with measurement requirements for effective reservoir
development
• Looking at the necessary parameters that influence building a successful reservoir models, understanding
geological analogues whilst honouring the petrophysical data
