Description
Key topics covered: Petrophysics, carbonate rocks, siliciclastic rocks, oil flows, diagenesis
Objectives
The objective of this module is to provide the fundamental concepts for the physical and petrophysical characterization of reservoirs at various scales (from thin sections to the basin scale), as well as the main aspects of diagenesis that alter petrophysical properties.
Mandatory Prerequisites
Sedimentology in siliciclastic or carbonate environments (Bachelor’s and Master’s 1 levels), and possibly concepts learned in hydrogeology (Bachelor’s level).
Knowledge Assessment
1 graded lab, 1 final exam (2 hours).
