Carbonate Reservoirs


Candidates:

Exploration and production geologists, geophysicists, and reservoir engineers who are start dealing with carbonate reservoirs and wish to understand their depositional systems and reservoir potential.

Summary:

The course covers the carbonate depositional systems, from non-marine to deep marine, and the methodology & practice of interpreting the sequence stratigraphy of these systems, as well as, their reservoir characteristics.

Contents:

  • Carbonates depositional settings
  • Classification and components
  • Identify depositional sequences, sequence boundaries, maximum flooding surfaces, & systems tracts using seismic & well log data
  • Sequence stratigraphic controls over hydrocarbon entrapment & identification of potential stratigraphic traps
  • Carbonate reservoir properties
  • Petrophysical analysis of carbonate reservoirs
  • Reservoir potential of carbonates
  • Fractured Carbonate
  • Case studies (Thamama, Arab, Kuff and Mishrif Reservoirs)
