NAPE-YP ACTIVITY REPORT
Geostatistical methods. Participants also shared
their expectation from the course. The interactive
session was filled with several contributions,
questions and comments from the participants.
The session ended at about 4:00pm.
NAPE-YP has identified the need to equip her
members with trainings for Explorationistsin the
Oil & Gas industry hence, the Technical Capacity
Building Training 2022.
The first Technical Capacity Building Training
was on "Volumetric Evaluation: Essentials for
Young Professionals".Thistraining was
handled by Mr. Johnbosco Uche, the Manager,
Energy Transition Business Opportunity – Shell
Nigeria and lasted for two days (30 and 31 July,
2022).
th
The first session, which held on Saturday, 30
July 2022,commenced at 1:00pm with an
introduction from the organizers and then the
speaker. The session covered the overview of
Petroleum Elements and Volumetric Estimation.
It was a practical class as there were hands-on
exercises. The session ended at about 4:00pm.

The second session, which held on Sunday, 31st
July 2022, started at 1:00pm with a re-cap of the
previous day. The concepts of Uncertainties &
Risking and a synopsis of Economics were
covered. At the end of the lecture, the YP lead
(Ifeanyi Ikueze) and the Deputy-YP Lead (Flora
Anusiobi) gave the vote of thanks.
The two-day training was knowledge-filled as
participants were better equipped on the concept
of Volumetric Estimation and Petroleum
Economics.

About 50 participants registered for this course;
they were added to a WhatsApp group where
interaction with the instructor and fellow
participants continued. Certificates were
awarded to participants.
Constructing a 3D geological model is a widely
used modern tool to understand hydrocarbon
reservoirs at static conditions using their lithology
and fluid properties. The reservoir model is
significant to foretell the behavior of reservoirs
because it integrates much information within the
structural framework and stratigraphic layers. It
also displays the distributions of inter-well
properties like porosity, permeability and water
saturation.
This two-day NAPE-YP Technical Capacity
Building Training was on "Basic Principles of
3D Geological Modeling and Inter-Well
Property Prediction" and was delivered by
Ebere Benard (PhD), Lead Geoscientist, Seplat
Energy.

The first day (Saturday, 3 September
2022)commenced at 1:00pm with a welcome
address from the organizers and then the
speaker. The instructor shared the outline of the
training which covered Introduction to 3D
Geological modeling, sedimentary environments
& Processes, Concept of facies and then

Day 2 of the training held on Sunday, 4th
September 2022 and started at 1:00pm with a recap
of the previous day. Seismic attributes and
3D geological modeling were covered with case
studies. Questions were asked during the
session which helped participants have better
understanding of the subject matter.
This two-day course had participants affirm to the
fact that their expectations were met and were
willing to practice knowledge gained in their
respective jobs/careers.

About 35 participants registered for this course.
Certificates were awarded to participants.
