Course Description
A decision to drill an exploration well with the objective to find a new oil or gas field must be based on a sound assessment of the prospect's risks and of the volumes: what is the chance that a well will find hydrocarbons, and how much could it be? Risk and volume assessments form the basis for decisions to drill a well or not, and as such form the link between subsurface evaluation and the business aspects of the petroleum industry. This course explains how risks and volumes can be assessed in a realistic manner, based on a sound understanding of the geological details of the prospect as well as of its regional geological setting and current play understanding.
The Training Course Will Highlight ?
Training Objective
Target Audience
- Exploration Geoscientists
- Reservoir Engineers
- Exploration Managers / Decision-Makers
Training Methods
The course will not only be presented by showing and interpreting the material in detail, but also the participants will work together using a real data to apply all the workflow and to project their previous knowledge and experience onto the course, they also encouraged to bring their own data so that real working examples can be reviewed and interpreted.
Note: The course will not only be presented by showing and interpreting the material in detail, but also the participants will work together using a real data to apply all the workflow and to project their previous knowledge and experience onto the course, they also encouraged to bring their own data so that real working examples can be reviewed and interpreted.
