Course Description
Reservoir characterization is the critical issue in the exploration, and particularly, in the development of deepwater reservoirs. The geometries and internal properties of the reservoir, control well production rates and ultimate recovery. Therefore, it is critical to understand the possible external size and connection to other reservoirs internal geometries (baffles and barriers - vertically and laterally) and rock properties (net to gross, kv/kh, porosity, etc.), in order to properly model the reservoir variability that has been observed in deepwater settings. Outcrops, shallow seafloor models, and subsurface examples (seismic, log, and core data) are coupled to provide analogs for deepwater reservoirs, including channels, sheet sands, and thin-bedded architectures. All aspects (seismic to pore-scale) of the recognition and properties of these reservoirs are discussed.
Offered as a Public or In-house course.
Who should attend
Exploration and development geologists, geophysicists, engineers, and managers involved in planning a deepwater development or engaged in developing a deepwater discovery.
Course Content
- Provide numerous analogs (outcrop, subsurface, and shallow sea floor models) for various reservoir types
- Describe the common reservoir models and associated architectures of deep water deposits: setting and external geometries
- Discuss internal architectural elements and rock properties as input to reservoir models and their implications for reservoir development and economics
