COURSE OVERVIEW
Rock typing is an essential part of dynamic reservoir modelling. Rock types provide a distinction between different rock groups in contribution to fluid flow in the reservoir. Rock types take the prime role in the dynamic definition of the reservoir. Information given in this course helps to define rock types for reservoir simulation purpose in compliance with the geoscience.
Applied Rock Typing is an advanced course prepared as working guideline in reservoir engineering and simulation. This course illustrates the role of team working and close collaboration among geoscience and reservoir engineering and simulation disciplines in building reservoir simulation models. The objective is to establish coherency between facies determination in geoscience and definition and application of rock types in reservoir engineering and simulation. The course is associated with case studies taken from major full-field studies.
