Conventional Reservoir Geochemistry Course

Julian Moore and Craig Barrie

The Conventional Reservoir Geochemistry course offers a comprehensive introduction to applying geochemical principles within conventional petroleum reservoir systems. It covers how geochemical data helps optimize petroleum recovery by improving understanding of fluid distribution, nature, and variation within reservoirs. The course emphasizes the integration of geochemical analysis with other disciplines such as petrophysics, engineering, and structural geology for enhanced reservoir characterization. Through global case studies, participants will explore models of reservoir filling, fluid compositional changes, timescales of mixing, and production allocation techniques. The content is well-suited for professionals aiming to leverage geochemical tools throughout exploration, development, and production phases.Read more...
