Overview

PCR for Carbonate Reservoirs

About the Course

 Geoscientists working on carbonate reservoir exploration and utilization must attend this demanding program. The difficulty of carbonate porosity is highlighted in the session. We'll talk about its modification and evolution within a sequence stratigraphic framework that is driven by sea level. Throughout, case studies and activities from different parts of the world will be used to highlight key ideas. The participant gains experience in creating practical exploration and exploitation techniques for carbonate terrains via these activities and case studies.

 Drs. Moore and Wade wrote the textbook "Carbonate Reservoirs" expressly for this subject, and it is provided to all course registrants.

Target Audience

 Engineers with a foundation in geology as well as exploration and development geologists, managers, and geophysicists will profit.

Course Objectives

 Participants will pick up skills in:

• Recognize fundamental carbonate properties that are crucial for reservoir development
• Recognize the applications of carbonates and mixed carbonate-siliciclastic systems to sequence stratigraphy.
• Recognize how complicated carbonate pore networks are.
• Understand how carbonate porosity changes during diagenesis, as well as how sea level and climate affect porosity changes and gross reservoir heterogeneity.
• Utilizing subsurface datasets, create realistic exploration and exploitation plans for carbonate terrains.
