Throughout the course the participants are encouraged to think about big picture volume in-place, static modelling and dynamic reservoir simulation. 

By the end of this course, delegates will be able to know about:

• • Concept of total and effective porosity
  • The basics of core-log integration
  • Generic integrated workflow process
  • Integration of geology, facies and Petrophysical rock types
  • Applied capillary pressure, wettability and relative permeability
  • Water saturation is not an accident
  • Upscaling from pore throat radius to Petrophysical rock type to flow units
  • Introduction applied capillary pressure and saturation height modeling
  • Why Petrophysics is the key to success in a static or dynamic model
  • The relationship between the free-water level, various contacts, pore throat radius, wettability and saturation distribution
