This intensive 5-day training course is designed for professionals in various disciplines, including petrophysicists, geologists, geophysicists, and engineers. These participants utilize core, borehole images, log data, core data, and production data to analyze and comprehend facies generated within a fluvial sedimentary environment. The primary objective of this training course is to acquire the skills necessary to develop an effective Geology and Geophysics (G&G) workflow that incorporates diverse geological data critical for creating a precise fluvial reservoir model.

Course Objectives:

Participants will learn how to:

Understand different fluvial facies models and their sedimentary setting
Interpret mud-logs, core and thin sections to produce fluvial facies logs and a facies model
Utilize borehole images, log data, ECS and NMR to generate fluvial electro facies
Identify accurate geological analogs, to derive input parameters for geological models
Understand up-scaling, which honors geological data to create accurate static and dynamic geological modelling
