Course Summary

This interactive training course on Petrophysical Properties:  Core, Log and Test Data Integration will highlight the importance of data integration from a variety of sources to address complex reservoir evaluation and productivity challenges experienced throughout the full asset life cycle.

This training course will cover a variety of data sources, fundamentals of reservoir characterisation, and methodologies of integrating key information. This training course combines theory with practical exercises to give participants a working knowledge of how integrating available data at various scales can be used to evaluate reservoir quality, heterogeneity and improve the productive potential to maximize recovery of hydrocarbons.

This GLOMACS Petrophysical Properties training course will feature:

  • Principles of rock and reservoir properties
  • The value of different data sources and purposes of data acquisition for reservoir analysis
  • Integration of core and log data to characterise flow units and reservoir properties
  • Provide hands on experience using field examples to evaluate complex reservoir conditions
  • Give advice regarding common pitfalls of data acquisition, interpretation and presentation of results
