Fractured & Unconventional Reservoir Modeling Training

Overview

🎯 Course Description:

This Fractured Reservoir Modeling Course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of how to model fractured and unconventional reservoirs (tight sands, shale, and CBM) using modern techniques and workflows.

This course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of how to model fractured and unconventional reservoirs (tight sands, shale, and CBM) using modern techniques and workflows. The course covers the geological and geomechanical fundamentals of natural fractures, the integration of seismic and well data, dual-porosity/dual-permeability concepts, discrete fracture networks (DFN), and their implementation in static and dynamic reservoir models.

Through lectures, hands-on exercises, and case studies, participants will learn how to build realistic models to guide reservoir performance forecasting and development planning in low-permeability and naturally fractured systems.

👥 Who Should Attend:

Reservoir Engineers
Geologists and Geophysicists
Petrophysicists
Production Engineers
Subsurface Modelers
E&P professionals working in unconventional or fractured reservoirs

🧾 Training Format:

Duration: 5 Days
Delivery: In-person or Online (Instructor-led Live)
Methodology: Theoretical lectures, software-based exercises, team interpretation, and case studies
Materials Provided: Digital course manual, interpretation datasets, model-building examples
