Reservoir Characterization
Disciplines: Completions | Drilling | Reservoir
Course Description
Reservoir Characterization serves multiple disciplines. The prediction of Pore Pressure, Fracture Gradients, Reservoir Stresses, Wellbore Stability and Lithology Columns provides the drilling engineers with information needed to deliver a problem free wellbore. On the other hand, the evaluation of reservoir properties of porosity, pore structure, permeability and fluids' saturation provides the reservoir engineers with the information needed to build the dynamic model of a reservoir. The evaluation of the reservoir parameters behind casing such as fluids saturation provides both the production engineers and the petrophysicists with the tools required to optimize reservoir deliverability. This course will combine all these information in a simplified way to integrate all attendees from the different disciplines for optimum reservoir management.
