Course Outline

Module I: Fractured & Unconventional Reservoir Modelling

Day 1 to 5
  • Introduction to natural fractures in rocks
  • Classification: joints, faults, shear, tensile fractures
  • Fundamentals of rock stress and failure
  • Stress regimes (normal, strike-slip, reverse)
  • Fracture geometry: orientation, spacing, aperture
  • Indicators: veins, shear zones, breccias
  • In-situ stress measurements: breakouts, leak-off, minifrac
  • Stress anisotropy and fracture reactivation
  • Unconventional reservoir systems: shale, tight gas, fractured carbonates
  • Flow mechanisms in dual systems: matrix vs fracture flow
  • Pressure support, depletion, and flow compartmentalization
  • Water and gas coning in fractured systems
  • Wellbore stability in fractured rocks
  • Mud weight windows and collapse risk
  • Natural fractures vs induced fractures in wellbores
  • Impact of stress orientation on drilling hazards Introduction to directional drilling concepts
  • Well trajectory types: build, hold, drop
  • Horizontal and multilateral wells in fractured settings
  • Geosteering principles: staying within target zones

Module II: Advanced Seismic Interpretation

Day 6

Introduction and General Overview

  • Introduction to seismic acquisition and processing, seismic frequency and its relationship to bed thickness, impedance, detection and resolution. The systematic methodology of seismic interpretation
  • Calculating seismic frequency and resolution
  • Introduction to compressional tectonics and fold and thrust belts: horses, piggy-back thrusting, duplexes and antiformal stacks, triangle-zones, fault propagation folds, fault bend folds and detachment folds
  • Data loading and visualization
Day 7

Seismic Processing, Geology and Scales of Work

  • Introduction to Sedimentology and Stratigraphy

Day 8

Sedimentology and Stratigraphy

  • Seismic facies analysis: external geometries and internal refection configuration
  • ABC method of defining seismic facies, reflection patterns, continuity and amplitude
  • Environments of disposition and net/gross

  • Performing Seismic attributes for Sandstone reservoirs
Day 9

Structural Geology, Seismic Interpretation and Borehole Seismic

  • Introduction to time slices, horizon slices and stratal and the advantages/disadvantages of each
  • Common seismic attributes and their application to unconventional resource plays such as tight-gas sandstones and fractured shale plays
  • Direct hydrocarbon indicators such as flat spots, bright spots and polarity reversals
  • Depth Conversion and Vertical Seismic profile
  • Seismic facies analysis, well facies analysis
Day 10
