COURSE OVERVIEW

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.

DESIGNED FOR

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.

COURSE LEVEL
  • Basic to Intermediate
LEARNING OBJECTIVES

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
