Course Content

This petrophysical evaluation course offers an immersive exploration into the details of reservoir characterization, focusing on a diverse array of geological formations. Participants will delve into advanced techniques, combining well log profiles and laboratory data, to unravel the challenges of fractured reservoirs, basement rocks, metamorphic and volcaniclastic formations, carbonates, reservoirs with heavy oil, and organic mudstones formation evaluation.

Fractured Reservoirs

This course addresses the unique challenges of fractured reservoirs, providing participants with insights into fracture characterization, permeability, water saturation and the integration of dipole sonic arrays and borehole images with laboratory analyses. Emphasis is on practical applications to navigate complexities associated with fractured reservoirs.

Evaluation of Basement Rocks

Covering techniques for assessing basement rocks, this module includes porosity determination, saturation analysis, and integration of well log data for meaningful subsurface insights. Real world examples of these reservoir types will be showcased.

Petrophysical Assessment of Metamorphic and Volcaniclastic Formations

Exploring advanced laboratory methods for petrophysical evaluation of metamorphic and volcaniclastic formations, this module equips participants with skills to interpret well log data and optimize reservoir characterization. Real world examples will be presented.

Carbonates

Frequently highly heterogeneous and significant in the Middle East, this section provides nuanced understanding of carbonate reservoirs, covering diagenesis, pore structure analysis, permeability calculations, cementation exponent, and water saturation. Emphasis is on integrating laboratory data and well log profiles for enhanced reservoir modeling accuracy.

Organic Mudstones

An exploration of innovative laboratory techniques for characterizing organic mudstones, covering TOC analysis, pore structure assessment, porosity, mineralogy and water saturation determination and integration of well log data for refining reservoir models.

Throughout the course, participants engage in practical exercises, case studies, and collaborative discussions, reinforcing their understanding of diverse reservoir types. By the course's conclusion, participants possess a holistic skill set for comprehensive petrophysical evaluations in various geological settings.

Who should Attend

Petrophysicists, geologists, geophysicists, geochemists, geomechanical engineers, reservoir engineers.

Important Notes Regarding Short Courses

  • Short courses are limited in size and are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis and must be accompanied by a full payment.
  • If you do not plan on attending the conference, a US $30 enrollment fee will be added to the short course fee. This fee may be applied toward registration if you decide to attend the conference at a later date.
  • A wait list is automatically created if a short course sells out. AAPG will notify you if space becomes available.
  • Before purchasing non-refundable airline tickets, confirm that the course will take place, as courses may be cancelled if undersubscribed.
  • Please register well before the deadline of 12 September 2024. Short course cancellations due to low enrollment will be considered at this time. No refunds will be allowed on short courses after 12 September 2024
  • We will continue to take registrations for short courses not cancelled until they are either sold out or closed.
  • Courses will be held in the Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre unless otherwise indicated. Participants will be advised via email of the specific location approximately two weeks prior to the course.
Cancellation Policy
  • Cancellations can be made by contacting ICE Registration on or before 12 September via email at [email protected]
  • Cancellations received on or before 12 September will receive a refund LESS a US $75 processing fee.
  • Refunds will not be issued after 12 September or for “no shows.”
