💎Advanced Fracture Modeling Workshop

🌟 Course Description

This hands-on course provides geoscientists and reservoir engineers with the skills needed to build, analyze, and integrate discrete and stochastic fracture networks within Petrel. It covers workflows for fracture characterization, modeling, upscaling, and integration into static and dynamic models. Participants will learn to improve reservoir understanding and predict the impact of fractures on fluid flow.

🎯 Learning Objectives

✅ Characterize natural and induced fractures using core, FMI, seismic, and outcrop data
✅ Build discrete fracture network (DFN) models in Petrel
✅ Integrate fractures with structural and reservoir property models
✅ Perform fracture permeability upscaling and dual-porosity modeling
✅ Assess uncertainties associated with fracture modeling
✅ Apply best practices for fractured reservoir evaluation
