Course Category : Engineering

This course equips professionals with advanced methodologies for integrated formation evaluation in clastic and carbonate reservoirs by combining logs, core data, and NMR to support robust reservoir characterisation and modelling decisions
Duration: 5 Days
Level: Advanced

Introduction

Integrated formation evaluation is fundamental to hydrocarbon reservoir characterisation, requiring systematic integration of well logs, core analysis, and reservoir tests to understand petrophysical properties and fluid behaviour. This integration becomes particularly critical in clastic and carbonate reservoirs due to their contrasting architectures and complexities
This course develops advanced understanding of logging tools, quality control procedures, multi-source data integration, NMR applications, and saturation height modelling, enabling participants to deliver reliable reservoir characterisation for exploration and development stages.
