Course Description
This course is designed to develop skills in understanding the geometry, petro physical characteristics, and reservoir behavior of carbonate reservoirs. Participants will explore the impact of depositional environments, diagenetic modifications, and sequence stratigraphy on carbonate reservoirs. Through case studies and practical exercises, they will gain insights into predicting reservoir facies, modeling reservoirs, and optimizing hydrocarbon recovery from carbonate formations.
Course Objectives
- Understand how carbonates are formed and evolve through geological time
- Identify carbonate facies and their role in reservoir quality
- Analyze the impact of sequence stratigraphy on carbonate reservoir distribution
- Determine the key controlling factors for porosity in carbonate reservoirs
- Assess the role of diagenetic processes such as compaction, Dolomitization, and cementation
- Interpret well log data specific to carbonate reservoir evaluation
- Develop reservoir models to support hydrocarbon exploration and production
