Description
DESCRIPTION
This course introduces basic geologic and engineering concepts, methodology and technology used to characterise, evaluate and manage naturally fractured reservoirs, with their limitations and constraints. It helps answering and understanding questions related to fractured reservoir performance during drilling, production and field development: What are the factors that control fractures behavior under activities of drilling, production and depletion? What are the impacts of such fractures on the reservoir development plans? How can we develop and optimise those reservoirs to enhance oil and gas recovery?
A few case studies will be provided to demonstrate the importance of integr…

DESCRIPTION
This course introduces basic geologic and engineering concepts,
methodology and technology used to characterise, evaluate and
manage naturally fractured reservoirs, with their limitations and
constraints. It helps answering and understanding questions related
to fractured reservoir performance during drilling, production and
field development: What are the factors that control fractures
behavior under activities of drilling, production and depletion?
What are the impacts of such fractures on the reservoir development
plans? How can we develop and optimise those reservoirs to enhance
oil and gas recovery?
A few case studies will be provided to demonstrate the importance
of integrated geologic and engineering aspects in developing
effective, economical reservoir management strategies for different
types of reservoirs.
Course Structure: 3 modules of 4 hours each,
delivered over 3 days
Each day will consist of 1 module which will be no more than 4
hours in length with multiple breaks.
Course Level: Advanced
Instructor: Manhal Sirat
