Naturally fractured reservoirs (NFR) constitute a large portion of the petroleum reservoirs throughout the world. Description of fractured reservoirs, combined with knowledge of the physics of multiphase flow in fractured rocks, provides the basis for understanding and forecasting the performance of these reservoirs. In addressing of importance of fractured reservoirs, PetroTecah offers a comprehensive course focusing on Geological related geosciences and reservoir engineering aspects of naturally fractured reservoirs.
This 5-days course cover geological and reservoir engineering concepts, methodolgy, and procedures for characterization fo naturally fractured reservoirs. The couurse will discuss about difeernet problems related to fractured reservoirs including geomechanical aspetc s and, fluid flow and EOR, well testing and well performnace in fractured reservoirs. Special attention will also be given to laboratory experiments for EOR in fractured reservoirs.
- Geological introduction to fractures characterization
o Fractures in out-crop: identification, dip and strike measurement
o Stereographic projection of different type of fractures
o Overview of fractures characterization in a structural geology concept
II- Fractured reservoirs
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 Performance Characteristics: production mechanisms, GOR, GOC, WOC, Water cut
o Recovery Mechanisms: Expansion, Imbibition, Convection and Diffusion
o Well Testing in Fractured Reservoirs
o EOR in Fractured Reservoirs
o Designing laboratory EOR experiments for Fractured Reservoirs
III- The effect of the fractures on porosity, permeability and fluid flow
o Porosity related fractures
o Permeability related fractures
o The effect of fractures in fluid flow
o Reservoir compartmentalization (conductivity and sealing)
o Fractured Reservoir Models: Dual Porosity vs. Dual Permeability Model
IV- Fractured reservoirs and geomechanics
v Relationship between fractures characterization and stress modelization (stress
polygon, stress magnitude calculation methods)
o Fractures reactivation detection using 2D & 3D Mohr circle methods
V- Case studies and practice sessions
Imene Ferhat accumulate over 10 years of borehole images interpretation, geomechanics and geosciences experience. She joined Baker Hughes as a geoscientist and certified for advanced borehole images and awarded for the efforts and commitments. She became a team lead and contributed in several integration studies and geomechanics modelling delivered to different companies in Europe, Middle East and Africa.
The course is designed for petroleum engineers and petroleum geologists with little knowledge
and experience in the study of carbonate rocks and their characteristics in oil and gas exploration. The objective of the course is to establish a foundation so that participants are able to design well planning and well operation process during petroleum exploration and production in carbonate reservoirs.
After completing this course, participants will be familiar with the following:
o Fundamentals of carbonate deposition
o Sequence stratigraphy of carbonate rocks
o Alteration and porosity-permeability variations of carbonate rocks
o Evaluation of carbonate reservoirs characteristics
o Exploration and production in carbonate rocks
