Why Choose this Training Course?
This high-level PetroKnowledge training course focuses on some of the most important challenges facing the exploration of oil & gas reservoirs, that’s the prediction of poro-perm characteristics of siliciclastic and carbonate rock-types in uncored reservoir intervals.
This Rock Typing Characterization of Uncored Reservoir Sediments training course will provide:
Innovative rock typing analytical tools to:
- Understand the relationship between physical characteristics of reservoir rocks and their petrophysical behaviour
- Improve the knowledge of rock typing methods of work useful for reservoir quality correlations of exploration targets
- Correlate Rock typing parameters with stratigraphy, CA data, wireline logs and other geological datasets.
What are the Goals?
Main goals of this Rock Typing Characterization of Uncored Reservoir Sediments training course will be:
- Providing oral and practical sessions for the Rock Typing analysis of siliciclastic and carbonate petro-types
- Introducing the concepts of Rock Typing Analogue Principle & Rock Typing Cataloguing
- Discussing the rock typing coded classification schemes
- Provide trainees with tools for the prediction of the poro-perm
- Attributes of cuttings sandstone and carbonate rock types
Who is this Training Course for?
This Rock Typing Characterization of Uncored Reservoir Sediments training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
- Sedimentary geologists of service and oil companies
- Mid-level to senior geologists carrying out rock-based geological projects
- Sedimentologists who need to be conversant on rock typing concepts
- Petrographers of small and large oil-industry organizations
