SC-04 | Geophysical Application to Petroleum Engineering
Society of Exploration Geophysicists
Saturday, 20 July – Sunday, 21 July 2019, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. | Denver, Colorado
Who Should Attend
Intermediate Level with 1 to 2 years in geophysics
Objectives
The main objective of the course is to apply geophysics to petroleum engineering aspects of reservoir analysis by demonstrating how the models are arrived at. Several key topics are discussed in detail include: stress analysis, rock physics, rock mechanics, and reserve estimate. The integration of multiple seismic inversion models is described in a manner that improves communication. The engineering approaches to the mentioned topics are as important to the geophysicists such that the two disciplines can be aware of the source of their information for each area of investigation and consider their accuracy and limitations, compare and adjust their results.
Course Content
Learner Outcomes:
Several of the geophysical techniques used in interpretation are well documented. What is not always clear is how to establish the relevance of the geophysical approach stress analysis, rock physics and rock mechanics in the terms that petroleum engineers can apply them to their analyses. The expected outcomes are to apply the tools of seismic inversion, Vp/Vs relative to reservoir conditions and the basics of fluid substitution. Describe and demonstrate how several seismic inversion techniques are carried out in terms the engineers can gauge their significance and relevance. Understand how the engineer views the reservoir and how they arrive at their conclusions to improve the geophysical model.
