Applied Petrophysics and Reservoir Characterization
Course Description
This Course utilizes all forms of data that can support petrophysical and geological analysis of historical and recent wells to produce robust facies schemes and rock types that can use for history matching. Understanding the best variable type of rocks, different tools needed to acquire the most accurate data, analyses multiple types of logs to determine facies, evaluate the best workflow to derive rock types in the integration of all available routine, special core data, upscaling them to log and seismic resolution. This needs to be well understood about the rock type, porosity, permeability, and cap curve using the geological framework concept for best undemanding the reservoir static and dynamic models and minimizing the uncertainty in reservoir modeling.

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
• Learn and how to integrate the petrophysical parameters into the reservoir and model it.
