Carbonate Reservoirs Training Course

Overview

📘 Course Description:

This intensive course focuses on the sedimentology, stratigraphy, and reservoir properties of carbonate systems—from platform to slope to basin. Participants will explore the complexity and heterogeneity of carbonate reservoirs, the controls on porosity and permeability, and techniques to improve reservoir prediction. It includes a mix of lectures, case studies, seismic-core-log interpretation, and analog examples from prolific carbonate fields.

🎯 Who Should Attend:

Geologists and Sedimentologists
Reservoir Engineers
Geophysicists involved in carbonate seismic interpretation
Petrophysicists working on carbonate data
Exploration and development teams in carbonate-prone basins
Technical advisors and asset managers seeking better prediction tools

🧾 Training Format:

Duration: 5 Days
Delivery: In-person or Virtual Live
Method: Presentations, core/seismic/photo exercises, case studies
Materials: Slides, analog data packs, carbonate field models
