Why Choose this Training Course?

This interactive PetroKnowledge training course will highlight the importance of data integration from a variety of sources to address complex reservoir evaluation and productivity challenges experienced throughout the full asset life cycle.

This PetroKnowledge training course will cover a variety of data sources, fundamentals of reservoir characterisation, and methodologies of integrating key information.  The course combines theory with practical exercises to give participants a working knowledge of how integrating available data at various scales can be used to evaluate reservoir quality, heterogeneity and improve the productive potential to maximize recovery of hydrocarbons.

This training course will feature:

  • Principles of rock and reservoir properties
  • The value of different data sources and purposes of data acquisition for reservoir analysis
  • Integration of core and log data to characterise flow units and reservoir properties
  • Provide hands on experience using field examples to evaluate complex reservoir conditions
  • Give advice regarding common pitfalls of data acquisition, interpretation and presentation of results

What are the Goals?

By the end of this training course, participants will learn to:

  • Understand the benefits of data integration
  • Understand various sources of data and the purpose of data acquisition
  • Plan data acquisition programmes and oversee core handling and preservation techniques
  • Understand the role of routine and special core analysis in reservoir characterisation
  • Deduce reservoir properties from log interpretation and core analysis
  • Integrate reservoir and well data to provide an evaluation of the reservoir and characterize flow units
  • Avoid common pitfalls of data acquisition and analysis
  • Present and manage data appropriately
