Petrography, Petrophysics & Diagenesis in Reservoir Quality

Overview

Integrating Petrography, Petrophysics, and Diagenesis for Exploration & Development

📘 Course Description:

This course provides in-depth knowledge and practical tools for evaluating reservoir quality in both sandstone and carbonate systems. It emphasizes the geological and petrophysical factors controlling porosity, permeability, mineralogy, diagenesis, and fluid saturation, enabling better prediction of reservoir behavior during exploration, appraisal, and development phases.

Using petrographic analysis, core and log data, and case studies, participants will learn how to distinguish primary versus secondary porosity, assess the impact of cementation and compaction, and develop realistic Reservoir Quality Index (RQI) models.

🎯 Who Should Attend:

Geologists & Petrophysicists
Reservoir Engineers
Core Analysts & Petrographers
Exploration & Development Teams
E&P Project Geoscientists
Technical Managers and QC/QA professionals

🧾 Training Format:

Duration: 5 Days
Mode: Classroom / Virtual Live
Delivery: Lectures, thin-section photo workshops, hands-on exercises, log interpretation
Materials: Petrography sheets, core photos, log overlays, case studies
