Reservoir Characterization of Unconventional and Tight Reservoirs
Disciplines: Data Science and Engineering Analytics | Drilling | Management | Production and Operations | Reservoir
Course Description
This course provides in depth understanding of the unconventional and tight reservoirs from definitions to evaluation and production. The course includes classifications of unconventional reservoirs, signature of unconventional reservoirs on logging measurements, evaluation of hydrocarbon potential, Total Organic Carbon evaluation and determination, Pyrolysis analysis of S1, S2, S3 for evaluation of hydrocarbon saturation, evaluation of rock mechanical properties including brittleness, drilling unconventional reservoirs and new tools for better evaluation of these reservoirs.

Why Attend
This course discusses new potentials for increasing reserves through considering producing the tight and unconventional reservoirs that may exist. The methodology of producing these new reserves is different than the conventional ones which is the main subject of this course. Attendees will learn all the new techniques from evaluation to production in tight and unconventional reservoirs.
Who Attends
Tight and unconventional reservoirs are new subjects to many who are working in the petroleum industry. This course will be beneficial to all engineers; drilling, reservoir, production, as well as management.
