COURSE OVERVIEW
The goal of this course is to introduce and teach participants some of the important current techniques of geostatistics used for reservoir modeling. The mathematical theory will be briefly summarized, to provide an intuitive understanding. Strong emphasis will be on conceptual understanding and practical use of the algorithms, such that their capabilities and limitations are understood. Hands-on exercises will be demonstrated, using the open-source SGeMS (Stanford Geostatistical Modeling Software) platform, allowing the attendees to experience first-hand how each algorithm works, and the importance and sensitivity of the key input parameters. This is a hands-on workshop, and the format will alternate between lectures and computer exercises, about half the time being devoted to the hands-on exercises.

Professor Tapan Mukerji
Professoe Tapan Mukerji is a Professor (Research) at Stanford University where he got his Ph.D. (1995) in Geophysics. Tapan co-directs the Stanford Center for Earth Resources Forecasting (SCERF), the Stanford Rock Physics and Borehole Geophysics (SRB) and Basin and Petroleum System Modeling (BPSM) projects at Stanford University. His research interests include rock physics, geostatistics, wave propagation, and stochastic methods for quantitative reservoir characterization and time-lapse reservoir monitoring. Tapan combines experience in conducting leading edge research, teaching, and directing graduate student research. He was awarded the Karcher Award in 2000 by the Society of Exploration Geophysicists, and received the ENI award in 2014. He has been an associate editor for Geophysics, journal of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists, and Computers and Geosciences. In addition to numerous journal publications, Tapan has co-authored The Rock Physics Handbook, Quantitative Seismic Interpretation, and The Value of Information in the Earth Sciences, all published by Cambridge University Press. He has been an invited keynote speaker and instructor for numerous short courses on rock physics and geostatistics, in North and South America, Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia.
