Principles of Carbonate Reservoirs



Introduction:


This course is designed to develop skills in understanding of the basic geometry and Petrophysical characteristics of carbonate reservoirs which can exhibit highly heterogeneous and complex properties. A key dynamic of the course is a series of exercises utilizing subsurface data sets that include core data, geophysical logs and seismic are given. A focused and a comprehensive approach is needed to better understand the nature of the rock containing the fluids and the flow properties within the porous and often fractured formations. This involves detailed understanding of the fluids saturation, pore-size distribution, permeability, rock texture, reservoir rock type, and natural fracture systems at different scales. Depositional fabric, grain type and size and subsequent diagenetic modifications are the major controls on carbonate reservoir behavior. The complex inter-relationship of the depositional and burial history can be unraveled to allow prediction of reservoir facies and reconstruction reservoir models.

Course Objectives:


By the end of this course, delegates will be able to:

 

  • Understand the basics of petroleum systems, how the carbonates are formed, deposited and changed through the geological time
  • Learn how to identify carbonate facies, reservoir quality and pore systems, including diagenesis and fracturing
  • Understand carbonate depositional concept and sequence stratigraphy
  • Recognize tools and understand how model carbonate reservoirs
  • Understand the basics of log data and responses to carbonate reservoir
  • Determine the controlling factors for porosity, permeability and saturation in carbonate reservoirs
