Carbonates Reservoirs Introduction And Overview

This two days course introduces carbonate reservoir, and gives basic insights into reservoir rock typing and outcrop overview; it also includes training exercises combining actual field data (logs, cores, production data, etc.).

This course is designed to familiarize geoscientists, as well as reservoir engineers, with karst systems and reservoirs, with insights into static and dynamic modeling applied to karst reservoirs.

The course alternates lectures, and exercises in classroom and in the field.

Outcrops

Jurassic (Malm): Meillon and Mano dolomite at Escuret Peak (Pyrenees)

S (Spain)-N (France) Cross-section of the Pyrenees with Lacq & Meillon fields

In-house Exercise

Senonian reservoir: Lacq sup. (France), presentation and training exercise. Application to production and development: where to drill a new development well for sustaining production.
Jurassic Malm Reservoir: Mano & Meillon dolomite at Meillon field (France)

Each participant is required to provide a yearly medical certificate before attending this field course. Participants must be in good health and physical conditions to attend.
