Integrated Petrophysics for Reservoir

Characterization & Modeling - IFP Training Certificate

Graduate Certificate

Classroom PETRORE-EN-P
Duration : 90 days

LEVEL
Skilled

PURPOSE
This course provides a comprehensive, practical knowledge of rock properties used for reservoir
characterization and modeling workflow, via hands-on activities and case studies using dedicated
software for data analysis, data interpretation and reservoir modeling.

AUDIENCE
Geoscientists involved in multidisciplinary teams, willing to acquire practical know-how in petrophysical
data interpretation for reservoir studies.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

Understand concepts, techniques and methods of rock properties applied to reservoir modeling,

Characterize a fractured network on a field,

Develop the skills to check the validity of structural interpretation on seismic through time using
balancing and structural restoration,

Apply the current borehole imaging tools and modern interpretation techniques,

Apply the workflow to characterize and model the fractures network in a reservoir model (real case).

WAYS AND MEANS

Hands-on activities and simulations on real cases.

Emphasis on practical work to develop participants’ autonomy and appropriate decisions.

Both personal and group work, team-building, group discussion in results and workflows.

Software tools used in the petroleum industry.

Software used during workshops: with courtesy of ALT, Beicip-Franlab, Geovariance, LithoTec,
Schlumberger and Senergy.

LEARNING ASSESSMENT

Knowledge assessment with multiple choice questions and open explanatory questions.

Initial and final evaluations (at the beginning and end of the program) to assess participants’ learning
curve.

Final project at the end to simulate operational situation to be presented to a jury.

Agenda

TRAINING ON RESERVOIR PETROPHYSICS & GEOLOGY DISCIPLINES

Lectures, hands-on activities and case studies are distributed in several modul es of 1-2 weeks
long.
Training content presents a clear operational orientation in order for participants to get familiar
with specific techniques via an extensive exposure to simulations on real cases allowing them to
anticipate the problems they will hav e to cope with later in their own projects.

PART 1: RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION & MODELING

Introduction to reservoir characterization.
Geological modeling workshop for integrated reservoir studies.
Reservoir petrophysics: conventional and special core analysis.
Fundamentals of facies analysis & rock-typing.
Petroleum geostatistics.
Well logging and qualitative log interpretation.
Core analysis for reservoir characterization.
Seismic reservoir characterization AVO and inversion workshop.
Quantitative well log analysis.

PART 2: FRACTURED RESERVOIR MODELING

Naturally fractured reservoirs: static and dynamic modeling.
