Reservoir Quality Analysis of Sandstone & Carbonate Rock Types

This training course is based in PowerPoint presentations, numerous real-world examples and practical sessions with exercises. Examples of thin sections, SEM and CL analyses are also presented to understand the workflow to integrate different methodologies used for reservoir quality evaluation. 

Clients are encouraged to provide examples of reservoirs their companies are working with so that the data is reviewed and potentially new methodologies and solutions to their reservoir problems can be discussed.

By the end of this Reservoir Quality Analysis  of Sandstone & Carbonate Rock Types training course, participants will:

• Gain insight into the diverse sandstone hydrocarbon reservoir types and their primary influences on reservoir quality.
• Acquire knowledge regarding the various types of carbonate reservoirs and the key factors affecting reservoir quality.
• Develop the ability to distinguish between depositional, provenance, and diagenetic indicators in analyzed sandstones and carbonates.
• Be capable of integrating and interpreting porosity-permeability data in relation to stratigraphy and regional geology.
• Comprehend the principal rock-based methodologies utilized in reservoir quality analyses.
• Familiarize with the concepts of rock typing and conducting petrophysical comparisons between cuttings and core samples.
