Course Level: Intermediate

This course will teach you how to evaluate reservoirs and quickly identify flawed results. Robust, minimum error reserves are achieved by a logical, systematic integration of all relevant data. Interpretation is cost-effective compared with data acquisition or development mistakes and essential for the complex reservoirs and marginal fields being re-evaluated today. Systematic Integration can often replace the need to run logs and explain apparent data conflicts. It provides the right answer faster, minimizes uncertainty and precludes criticism. By contrast stand-alone log analysis often results in bad economic decisions and bad personal reputations.

This course demonstrates through an experienced consultant how robust answers are achieved by the integration of diverse data. Basic economic questions are addressed head-on by a disciplined, logical process which optimises the interpretation of Porosity, Permeability, Saturation, Netpay, and Fluid Contacts - the basis of Reserves. Low Contrast Low Resistivity Pay (LCLRP) clastics and carbonates are evaluated by simple integration techniques which surpass stand-alone log analysis. LWD, wireline, NMR, image logs, routine core, special core and MDTs are brought innovatively together to interpret difficult exploration wells, improve reservoir simulation and typically increase reserves. The Seismic Petrophysics work flow to project these results into inter-well regions is then reviewed. This course is a condensed packet of powerful integration techniques. It continues to evolve through natural selection over 16years of presentations and mainstream consulting. Its manual is comprehensive and a lasting benefit to the novice and experienced student alike.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
Thanks for the excellent course... it has changed the way I work and helped me settle into my new job.
This course is one of the best I have had until now, easy to follow, well structured, and full of useful tips that can be used in our everyday work.
It is like having a Master Degree in just one week!
Excellent overview of characterization methods and their integration, guideline for reservoir characterization.
