Evaluating Reservoir Quality, Seal Potential and Net Pay
27 June - 1 July 2016 | Dover Hotel, Lagos, Nigeria

This course demonstrates the use of basic rock properties, wireline logs, capillary pressure and relative permeability data to evaluate reservoir rock quality, seal capacity (thickness of hydrocarbon column a seal can hold before it leaks), recovery efficiency and to determine location of reservoir fluid contacts. It also explains the main controls on fault seals, and methods to quantify risk in evaluating these. Exploration and development geologists and reservoir engineers will benefit from the straightforward and intuitive presentation of principles governing hydrocarbon migration and entrapment, reservoir quality, pay determination and practical applications to determine fault and top seal potential.
