Clastic Reservoirs

SUITABLE:

Geoscientists working on clastic environments (geologists, geophysicists, reservoir engineers, petro physicists).

OBJECTIVES:

By the end of the course, delegates will:

• Be able to list sedimentological characteristics of clastic rocks;
• Be able to define typical clastic reservoir geometries;
• Be able to correlate on logs clastic reservoirs, using sequence stratigraphy methodology;
• Be able to relate facies, diagenesis and reservoir properties;
• Be able to relate phenomena observed on outcrops to typical clastic reservoir problems, etc.

SUMMARY:

• Sendimentological characteristics: Facies, depositional processes and products, sedimentary structures, major controls on clastic sedimentation, etc.
• Diagenesis and porosity evolution: Processes and products, diagenetic environments, fracture characterisation
• Sequence stratigraphy: General concepts and definitions, various models in sequence stratigraphy, correlation principles, reservoir heterogeneities, etc.
