Instructor Led Methods Training Classes in Austria

Foundations of Petrophysics Petrophysics is a key discipline in petroleum exploration and production. The main objectives of this course are to understand: - The petrophysical properties and corresponding logging methods, - The fundamentals of log interpretation and formation evaluation, - The link between petrophysics and seismic reservoir characterization tools  more...

Fundamentals of Petroleum Geology This introductory course reviews the fundamental elements of the petroleum geology. It starts by placing hydrocarbons in a global context; the philosophy and structure of the oil industry; energy trends, future resources. The petroleum environment is then reviewed: source rocks, reservoirs, traps, seals and the timing of generation relative to trap formation. The course then examines the  more...

Naturally Fractured Reservoir Engineering The presence of extensive networks of natural fractures creates a number of challenges for evaluating and optimizing recovery from naturally fractured reservoirs. The use of dual porosity or dual permeability approaches is often necessary, providing the basis for both analytical models (such as used for pressure transient analysis) as well as for reservoir simulation. Appropriate application of  more...

Natural Gas Engineering ...methods used for the analysis and design of recovery projects for natural gas reservoirs, using an approach that integrates various methodologies for optimizing reservoir performance. The course begins with a discussion of basic gas properties, demonstrating how properties may be obtained from both correlations and laboratory measurements. The three primary elements of the gas production system  more...

Advanced Reservoir Simulation Dynamic reservoir models are the basic tools for investigating reservoir behaviour, optimising reservoir performance, designing complex wells, estimating uncertainties and providing the basis for risk management. New techniques, such as unstructured and time-dependent gridding, combined with local time stepping eliminate most of the drawbacks of conventional simulation methods and make  more...
