This advanced Energy training course addresses key challenges in oil and gas reservoir exploration, particularly focusing on predicting porosity-permeability (poro-perm) characteristics of siliciclastic and carbonate rock types in uncored reservoir intervals.
The Rock Typing Characterization of Uncored Reservoir Sediments course will provide:
- Innovative rock typing analysis tools to:
- Explore the relationship between the physical attributes of reservoir rocks and their petrophysical behaviors.
- Enhance understanding of rock typing methodologies that are crucial for correlating reservoir quality in exploration targets.
- Integrate rock typing parameters with stratigraphic data, core analysis (CA) data, wireline logs, and other geological datasets.
The primary objectives of the Rock Typing Characterization of Uncored Reservoir Sediments training course are:
- Offering both theoretical and hands-on sessions focused on the rock typing analysis of siliciclastic and carbonate petro-types.
- Introducing the principles of the Rock Typing Analogue Approach and the concept of Rock Typing Cataloging.
- Discussing various rock typing classification schemes and their coding systems.
- Equipping participants with tools for predicting the porosity-permeability (poro-perm) attributes of cuttings, including sandstone and carbonate rock types.
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
