Objectives
Reservoir engineers, petrophysicists
and geoscientists will learn
conventional and innovative
methods to characterize
carbonate reservoirs, principles
of laboratory SCAL measurements,
insitu saturation monitoring,
impacts of wettability on
results, coreflood simulation,
applications in reservoir
modeling (including examples
of fractured reservoirs)
and EOR.
Who Should Attend
Reservoir engineers, petrophysicists
and geoscientists who are
involved in interpretation
and use of Special Core
Analysis Data for carbonate
reservoir modeling studies
and/or in the design of
SCAL measurements.
Number of Participants
Participation is limited to 40 people where 50% of seats will be reserved to
staff from Abu Dhabi Operating Companies and 50% will be reserved for staff
from GCC countries. Preference is given to national oil companies. Service
providers can only attend if there are some vacancies available.

your discipline, title and
years of experience and
objective of attending the
course.
Course Outline
- Introduction
- Rock characterization
o Characterization
o Classification
o Rock sensitivity to stress
o Conventional and innovative
modeling methods(
including pore-network modeling)
Filling history. Concept of
wettability. Development
of wettability at pore level
and expected variations
in the reservoirs. Impact of
wettability and
therefore fluids distribution within
the pores on SCAL
laboratory measurements.
- Capillary
Pressure measurements
• Definitions and concepts impacting
saturation distributions
in the reservoir-static and dynamic
phenomena. Impact
of wettability
• Main variables of Pc curves
o Pore-structure/ pore-
throat-size distribution
o Swi determination
o Sor determination.
Concepts of Soi/SOR
correlations e.g
Land correlation
o Impact of wettability
• Measurements (drainage, imbibition
and secondary
drainage. Hysteresis concepts). Limitations of
different experimental
methods and implications. Validity
of conversion
from different measurement methods. Calculating
wettability indices
from PC data.
• Associated petrophysical data
measurements(
m,n) and their significance in saturations
calculations.
•
Theory & definitions
• Pore-structure/ pore-throat-size
effects/wettability
• Heterogeneity versus anisotropy
• Experimental methods-including
reservoir vs. ambient
condition tests
• Laboratory data measurements
and interpretation including
3-Phase relative permeability
and modeling. Comparison
to 2-phase values
• The issue of scale
• Combined PC and KR in simulation
modeling. Concepts of
scanning curves. Consistency of KR
and PC in modeling of
transition zones. Some field example
e.g Paleo oil caused
by water imbibition during tilting.
• Brief introduction to modelling
of displacement mechanisms
in fractured carbonate
reservoirs
• Some concepts of EOR-SCAL
