Course Description
Petroleum System Modelling and Resource Assessment Training Course
This course discusses the creation of hydrocarbon and its volume assessment using petroleum system models. Understanding of these models is vital for geoscientists and engineers involved in today’s challenging conventional and unconventional exploration and development projects.
The elements of the Petroleum System Charge, Trap, and Reservoir, are described systematically within the framework of play and prospect evaluation. In addition, the processes of generation, migration, accumulation and preservation of petroleum resources are reviewed.
Petroleum system modelling simulates the hydrocarbon-generation process to calculate the charge, or the volume of hydrocarbons available for entrapment, as well as the fluid flow, to predict the volumes and locations of accumulations and their properties.
Petroleum systems modelling workflow to integrate all the geological elements and processes that are fundamental to the evaluation of petroleum system is showed in detail. Petroleum Systems Models in 1, 2 or 3D and their use and importance is discussed.
Course Objectives
• Understand Petroleum System concepts and resource volume estimation methods
• Analyze elements and processes of petroleum system generation
• Assess the data requirement for the petroleum system modelling
• Understand the Petroleum System controls on reservoir rock quality
• Describe various basin modelling techniques and their uses
• Assess the prospect value by estimating the quantity and predicting the quality of trapped hydrocarbon
Who Should Attend
Geologists, geophysicists, and petrophysicists working on basin, play, prospect or reservoir evaluation.
