Geology of carbonate reservoirs

Synthesis

By combining individual and team exercises, the trianing course allows :-To identify and interpret the seismic and wireline log signatures of the main carbonate reservoirs.-To be able to describe and interpret the main facies as well as their cyclic pattern in cores.
-To understand and to apply the principles of sequence stratigraphy by performing correlation between the wells of a field and to understand the lateral evolution of facies and their corresponding reservoir quality.
-To characterize and to interpret the pore network of the carbonate reservoirs according to the diagenetic overprint and the burial history.

Objectives

– Based on practical exercises, to discover and to understand the specificity of carbonate rocks in terms of hydrocarbon reservoirs.- To identify the main parameters which control the genesis and diagenesis of carbonate rocks.- To be able to recommend the suitable tools for the multi-scale description (seismic to microscopic) of a carbonate reservoir.- To characterize and to interpret the morphology and internal geometry of carbonate platforms in seismic sections.- To describe the main types of carbonate rocks from visual examination on cores and thin sections. – To evaluate the lithology and the reservoir quality of carbonate facies from their wireline log signature. – To evaluate the reservoir quality of carbonate facies from examination of the pore network on thin sections.- To identify the main biological and physical processes, which first control deposition and then diagenetic modification of carbonate rocks.
