Integrated Reservoir Modeling

Starting with collecting information and assessing the need for additional data, the course will cover all the topics from structural and geological modeling, estimation of reservoir petrophysical properties using geostatistical tools, up-scaling to simulator model and finally, proper history matching and future predictions in the presence of uncertainties. This course is important to reservoir modelers involved in any phase of the description work. The course is not intended to make any one an expert geologist, geophysicist or engineer. Instead, it is intended to expose various geoscientists and engineers to the entire process of integrated reservoir description and the geostatistical tools that can be used to achieve the goals. The course will develop improved appreciation of the other disciplines’ needs as well as the necessity of the feed back during the integration process.

One personal computer is provided, at additional cost, for each two participants.
