Petrophysical Properties of Reservoir Rocks
1-Objectives
At the end of the course the Attendees should be able to:
- Prepare the samples for the petrophysical studies.
- Use the valid petrographical studies in a complementary way to interpret the
petrophysical behaviour.
- Know the types of Pore spaces from petrography.
- Measure the different types of density.
- Know the different types of porosity and the different factors controlling it.
- Know more the different types of permeability and how to measure them.
- Know the factors controlling the permeability values.
- Know the different porosity-permeability relationships and Models.
- Know how to measure the different electric parameters and to know more
about the effective factors controlling them.
- Know more about the physical fabrics of rocks.
- Increase their knowledge about the mercury injection tests.
- Know the behaviour of Acoustic waves inside the rocks.
- Know how to measure the thermal properties of rocks.
- Know how to apply the NMR technique for the porous rocks.
2-Who should attend
The course aims to increase the knowledge of the geologists, geophysicists
and others who are working in the field of oil and natural gas production. The
attendees will feel that they became more professional, and know more about the
reservoir rocks, their properties, occurrences and characterization. The
comprehensive course documentation has been designed as a useful guide for
future reference.
