o Fractured reservoirs types (examples and discussion + real images for each type)
o Fractures characterization from borehole images: identification, classification, orientation, morphology, aperture, fractures set, fracture density
o Integration of cores with BHI to better characterize the fractures
o Borehole sampling Bias (Terzagui correction factor)
o Fracture density types and their uses
o Porosity related fractures

o Fractures reactivation detection using 2D & 3D Mohr circle methods
This five-day comprehensive course is designed to provide in-depth knowledge and practical skills in well test analysis and fracture characterization for petroleum engineers. It covers key concepts, methodologies, and advanced techniques required to evaluate reservoir performance, reservoir properties, and production optimization. The course places particular emphasis on detailed fracture characterization using borehole image methods, enabling participants to measure, classify, and quantify fracture properties. Fracture-related porosity and permeability will be thoroughly discussed, including practical methods for calculating these parameters under different geological conditions. Geomechanics plays a central role in the program, providing tools to evaluate stress conditions responsible for fracture development, quantify fracture systems, and analyze their kinematics using advanced geomechanical approaches. The training combines theoretical foundations with hands-on exercises, allowing participants to interpret real-world data and apply their knowledge to complex reservoir scenarios.
