DE0409 : Field Development and Carbonate Reservoir

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Field Development and Carbonate Reservoir. It covers the importance of carbonate reservoirs and geological characteristics including depositional environments and diagenetic processes; the petrophysical properties covering porosity, permeability and fluid saturations; the carbonate reservoir classifications including Dunham and folk classifications; the seismic and petrophysical data analysis using proper tools and techniques for reservoir characterization; the carbonate rock types and reservoir quality including the link between rock types and reservoir properties; the field development strategies and approaches; and the reservoir modeling and simulation using appropriate techniques and tools for predicting reservoir behavior. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the well planning and drilling techniques and best considerations for carbonate reservoirs; the completion and stimulation techniques tailoring to carbonate reservoir characteristics; and the economic evaluation and risk analysis and financial considerations in field development. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the high-resolution sequence stratigraphy and the temporal and spatial distribution of carbonate facies; the geochemical analysis, its role in reservoir characterization and advanced logging techniques; the core analysis and interpretation and laboratory techniques for reservoir evaluation; the fracture characterization and modeling and the importance in carbonate reservoirs; the reservoir heterogeneity and flow units and complexities in carbonate reservoirs; the EOR fundamentals, methods and chemical EOR techniques; the thermal EOR methods including suitability and challenges in carbonate reservoirs; the gas injection methods; the techniques and the potential of microbial EOR; the role of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) in carbonate reservoirs; the renewable energy integration, opportunities and challenges; the water management in carbonate reservoirs; the regulatory and environmental considerations, compliance and best practices; and the technological innovations and future trends.
