Applied Petroleum Geoscience Workshop

The proposed course is a unique program that was designed for the reservoir geologists and engineers, subsurface geologists and the others who are working in the hydrocarbon exploration. It mainly concerns with the petroleum regimes and exploration petroleum geoscience. It covers also some petroleum engineering and reservoir geology disciplines. The course covers the whole range of core analyses and well logging tools and their applications for carbonate reservoirs. It starts with an overview of the carbonate depositional environments, and reservoir rock properties. The attendees will feel that they became more professional in reservoir characterization and rock typing using different techniques. They will be able to characterize and evaluate the reservoirs and assess their performance. The comprehensive course documentation has been designed as a useful guide for future reference.
