📄 Course Description:
This intensive course covers the role of production geology in bridging geoscience and engineering to optimize reservoir development, enhance hydrocarbon recovery, and reduce uncertainty in mature and green fields. Participants will gain practical skills in reservoir modeling, well planning, geosteering, and integration of static and dynamic data. Real-world field cases are used to highlight best practices and decision-making under subsurface uncertainty.
👥 Who Should Attend:
-
Production and development geologists
-
Reservoir engineers and geomodelers
-
Petrophysicists and geophysicists
-
Asset team members in integrated field development teams
-
Technical staff involved in reservoir management or well planning
🛠️ Training Format:
-
5-day classroom or virtual instructor-led course
-
Mix of lectures, case studies, practical exercises, and discussion
-
Hands-on exercises in well correlation, static modeling, and uncertainty analysis
-
Software demo optional (e.g., Petrel, RMS, or other platforms)
