COURSE OVERVIEW
Reservoir characterization provides critical information on the 3D distribution and realization of reservoir heterogeneity and petrophysical properties. This is essential input to both static and dynamic reservoir models, and is crucial for understanding flow in the reservoir during production.
This 5-day training course will focus on carbonate sedimentology, diagenesis and reservoir characterization, and how to implement these into a static reservoir model. The focus will be on interpretation and handling of geological data as input to the model rather than the IT technical development of the model. The aim is that course participants will be able to deliver adequate sedimentologic input data to geo-modellers. The input data will include the spatial distribution of sedimentary/diagenetic facies, porosity, permeability and MICP-based saturation heights.

INSTRUCTOR
Arve Lønøy
Arve Lønøy has 37 years of experience as a carbonate geologist within exploration, production/field development, and research. He also has 6 years of experience on siliciclastic North Sea reservoirs. His main specialty is carbonate sedimentology and diagenesis with special emphasis on reservoir characterization. He has developed several proprietary techniques for static reservoir modelling. Arve published (AAPG 2006) a new pore-type classification system that is applied in predictions of permeability, effective porosity, saturation heights and HC contacts.
The predictions are further aided by the use of artificial intelligence, using a time efficient methodology that he has developed. This new methodology for reservoir characterization, and how it is applied in reservoir modelling, was approved by Beicip-Franlab in 2012 audit.
