Advanced Geostatistics in Reservoir Modeling and Simulation
Candidates:
Senior reservoir geologist & engineers as well as petro physicists who have some background on the rule of geo statistics in reservoir modeling and wish to know more about using the geo-statistical analysis in characterizing, modeling & simulating fluids in the reservoir.
Summary:
The course objective is to develop the knowledge on how to apply statistical principles for characterizing reservoir properties and construct 3D models for their reservoirs. The course covers the most up to date techniques in reservoir modeling & simulation using the power of geo-statistics including, but not restricted to facies fracture & structure modeling, porosity & permeability modeling and upscaling.
