Rock Typing & Reservoir Quality Without Core

Overview

📘 Course Description:

This course focuses on advanced methodologies to perform rock typing and reservoir quality characterization in the absence of core data, a common challenge in many exploration and development projects. Participants will learn how to leverage well logs, cuttings, seismic attributes, and analog databases to infer rock types, petrophysical properties, and flow units. The course emphasizes integrating geological, petrophysical, and statistical tools to build reliable subsurface models and minimize uncertainty.

🎯 Who Should Attend:

Petrophysicists & Reservoir Engineers
Geologists & Geomodellers
Geoscientists working in data-limited fields
Asset Development Teams
Subsurface Data Analysts
Technical Managers and QC/QA reviewers

🧾 Training Format:

Duration: 5 Days
Mode: In-person or Virtual Live
Methodology: Lectures, exercises, case studies, and log-based analysis workshops
Materials: Annotated log examples, thin-section visuals, flow unit workflows
