Integrated Reservoir Characterization

About this Unit

Unit Description

Reservoir characterization is one of the most important first steps undertaken in field development. Understanding how to correctly interpret input data and develop a representative geologic model is of utmost importance. For conventional reservoirs, much work has been done over many decades in developing the required knowledge that will achieve this. This unit takes the most applicable industry practices and presents them in a practical manner that will allow engineers apply these techniques to competently characterize most conventional reservoirs.
