Highlights:
This course covers all the main disciplines needed to perform efficiently a geo-cellular model in an integrated study. This training is formatted as a hybrid course, mixing with success the field observations on outcrop, exercises of characterization and geological modelling of outcrop.
Main Objectives:
Objectives of the course are:
- Develop advanced technics in reservoir characterization and modelling
- Reinforce the link between sedimentology, geostatistics and petrophysics
- Improve robustness and predictivity of geological models
- Observe directly on the outcrop the limitations of numerical modelling
Learning Approach:
- Field observations
- Regional history
- Validation of concepts
- Interactive Quality Control
- Characterization exercises
- Geo-radar profiles
- Sequence stratigraphy
- Conceptual model elaboration
- Core description
- Injection tests
