Part of Field Study & Modelling and one of the Subsurface Production Disciplines,
studying physical and chemical rock properties and their interactions with fluids with an ultimate objective to build a model predicting:
Primary petrophysical rock properties based on open-hole and cased-hole reservoir data logs
Secondary petrophysical rock properties based on primary petrophysical rock properties
and includes the following study areas:
| Core Analysis | Petrophysical Modelling | Reservoir Data Log Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
Identifying the mineralogy and lithological facies from core analysis | ||
Modelling Reservoir Data Logs | ||
| Special Core Analysis (SCAL) | Modelling Relative Permeability | |
| Digital Core Analysis (DCAL) | Modelling Capillary Pressure | |
Modelling Saturation Height Function |
