Petrophysics

Catalog description

The course is designed to equip students with the skills necessary for accurate reservoir characterization and assessment through a systematic theoretical study of reservoir rock-fluid interaction fundamentals. Reservoir rock characteristics include lithology, porosity, elastic properties, rock strength, electrical properties, Darcy's Law, and absolute permeability. It also delves into the rock-fluid interaction characteristics that contribute to the fluid flow in porous media, including the existence of multi-phases, relative and effective permeability, fluid saturations, capillary characteristics, wettability, adsorption, and absorption processes.
