Introduction & Dataset1:55
Learn to map properties from well logs by calculating zone porosity averages, create data-driven maps, generate ISO core points and isopach maps, and build a map-based volume matrix in Petrel.
Data Visualization and Preparation3:29
Visualize and prepare porosity data by configuring logs, scaling, and curve filling, then map porosity across zones and wells and compute the average porosity for each zone.
AVG Porosity, NTG attribute extraction from Well logs for all the zones7:48
Compute average porosity for each zone from well logs by creating zone-specific attributes, applying arithmetic averaging, and then derive net-to-gross for all zones, ready for mapping.
Property Mapping and Surface settings14:56
Define a boundary ROI and zone to create a porosity map using seismic data and convergent interpolation. Configure surface settings, adjust color tables, review in 3D, and refine net-to-gross maps.
Isopach Map Generation4:21
Convert wells to isochore points on the TB base to generate an isopach map. Define boundary, apply thickness, and adjust settings for map refinement.
Data Preparation for Map Based Volumetrics6:22
Learn to prepare data for map-based volumetrics by defining gas-water and oil-water contacts, drawing boundaries on the structure, and generating surfaces within the polygon for accurate volume calculations.
Map Based Volumetrics10:45
Learn to build a map-based value matrix using depth structure maps, structure boundary, contacts, porosity, and thickness maps, then compute recoverable oil and gas volumes and reports.

Requirements

A fundamental understanding of Petrel & petroleum geology concepts will be advantageous but not mandatory

Description

Welcome to the "Petrel Masterclass: Porosity, Net to Gross Mapping, and Map-Based Volumetrics." This intensive course is designed for petroleum professionals, geoscientists, and reservoir engineers seeking to elevate their skills in reservoir characterization and modeling using Schlumberger's industry-standard software, Petrel.

Here's a brief overview of the key topics covered in the course:

1. Extracting Properties from Well Logs:

Learning how to extract crucial reservoir properties from well logs.
Specifically focusing on calculating average porosity and Net to Gross (N/G) attributes.

2. Mapping Porosity and N/G:

Utilizing Petrel to create spatial representations of porosity and N/G.
Gaining an understanding of the importance of spatial representation in reservoir characterization.

3. Isopach Mapping:

Defining isopach maps and their significance in reservoir analysis.
Developing the skills to create Isopach (Thickness) maps within Petrel, especially to depict variations in thickness.

4. Map-Based Volumetrics:

Exploring the concept of map-based volumetrics for reservoir evaluation.
Practicing the calculation of hydrocarbon volumes and reserves using data mapped in Petrel.

This course appears to provide a hands-on approach to reservoir characterization and modeling, with a focus on practical skills using industry-standard software. Participants can expect to leave with the ability to extract, analyze, and visualize key reservoir properties, ultimately aiding in informed decision-making for oil and gas reservoir management.

Who this course is for:

It's important to note that this course assumes a certain level of familiarity with the oil and gas industry and a basic understanding of reservoir concepts. While there are no strict prerequisites, participants with some background in geology, reservoir engineering, or related fields may find it easier to grasp the material. Ultimately, the course is intended for individuals and professionals who are enthusiastic about advancing their skills in reservoir characterization and modeling using Petrel, with the goal of improving their contributions to the oil and gas sector.
