As primay objectives of this course are extend the geological knowlegde, reforce concepts and principles of geology in the Oil and Gas business for those petroleum and other disciplines professionals integrated to the processes of petroleum exploration, development, and production. The course is oriented toward topics of interest in the petroleum industry as; origen of petroleum, geological time and history, plate tectonics, the importance of porosity and permeability, petroleum reservoir and source rocks and more.
Oil Exploration Training Program
Basic Petroleum Geology
Entry to mid-level Geologists and Engineers, personnel involved in the petroleum business like technical operator, business developer, administrative personnel and other like HSE staff who in need of technical training to understand their role with the petroleum industry.
- The basic concepts of geology
- About Life of Earth
- Earth Structure and Plate Tectonics
- Types of rocks and their formation
- The rock cycle
- The origen of petroleum and accumulations
- The importance of pororsity and permeability of Oil-Bearing Rocks
- Petroleum migration and trapping
- Reservoir Fluids
- How reservoir pressure influences flow
Basic Reservoir Engineering
This coures will help the participants to develop a complete understanding of the fundamentals of reservoir engineering. The participants will learn about the characteristics of oil and gas reservoirs, fluid and rock properties used in reservoir engineering applications and the fundamental concepts of fluid flow in porous media. The course will include definition of reserves and estimation of oil-in-place and gas-in-place concepts
Professionals who are training to become geologists, geophysicists reservoir engineers in E&P. People as technical assistants, lab technicians, chemists, physicists, technical supervisors, service company engineers, business developer, data processing personnel, and support staff working with reservoir engineers and need to understand the process of reservoir definition, development, and production.
- The fundamentals of reservoir engineering
- About Reservoir life cycle
- What is the role of reservoir engineering in exploration and production
- Importance of reservoir environment and formation properties
- The reservoir fluid distribution and classification
- The structure and properties of rocks
- The importance of porosity, effective and relative permeability, compressibility, wettability, and capillary pressure
- Principles of Well Testing in reservoir characterization
- Estimation of oil-in-place and gas in-place
Logging and Formation Evaluations
This course presents an overview of the basic concepts of open hole log analysis and provides practical used in the industry to evaluate geological properties of the formation. The participants will have de opportunity to clearly identify and mark on a log potential water-bearing zones and hydrocarbon-bearing zones. A number of actual log examples are related to basic principles in the description of reservoir properties such as porosity, mineralogy, formation factor, saturation, and hydrocarbon type for essentially clean reservoirs.
This course is intended for petrophysicists, geologists, geophysicists, engineers or anyone interested to understand the principles of well evaluation.
- Are there oil and gas reservoirs?
- Where are they – at what depth can they be found?
- How much is there – what’s is comprised of?
- Can it be produced – is there sufficient porosity and permeability to allow the effluent to be produced?
- Can it be produced economically – is there enough oil / gas to make it profitable enough to further invest in the completion and production of this well?
- Select appropriate values for tortuosity factor (a) and cementation exponent (m) required for calculating formation water resistivity (Rw) and water saturation (Sw) in zones of different lithology and/or porosity
- Determine values for mud filtrate resistivity (Rmf) and mudcake resistivity (Rmc) from mud resistivity (Rm) by chart and by equation
- Determine a reasonable and optimistic value for formation water resistivity (Rw) by comparing values derived from the inverse-Archie and SP methods.
