COURSE OVERVIEW:

This course provides a comprehensive hands-on exploration of the industry-standard software environment for subsurface modeling. It focuses on the practical application of 3D geological modeling workflows, guiding participants through the logical steps from data import to volumetric calculation within a unified platform. Attendees will learn how to manage complex geological data types, ensuring that seismic, well, and production data are integrated into a single, coherent subsurface representation.

The scope of the training emphasizes the "Process Diagram" approach, which ensures consistency and repeatability in model construction. Participants will delve into the technicalities of building corner-point grids, performing advanced pillar gridding for complex fault geometries, and executing stratigraphic layering. Special attention is given to the automation of workflows, allowing geoscientists to quickly update models as new drilling data becomes available or as interpretation concepts evolve.

Coverage includes the optimization of petrophysical property distribution using both deterministic and stochastic algorithms. By the end of this course, participants will be proficient in navigating the software interface to create high-resolution reservoir models that are ready for simulation. The curriculum is designed to bridge the gap between theoretical geostatistics and practical software execution, ensuring that the resulting models are both geologically plausible and mathematically sound.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Navigate the software interface and manage complex project data structures efficiently.
• Import and quality control seismic surfaces, well logs, and borehole markers.
• Construct a detailed fault model using various fault imaging and editing tools.
• Generate a 3D pillar grid that accurately honors complex structural frameworks.
• Execute "Make Horizons" processes to define the main stratigraphic framework.
• Apply sophisticated layering techniques to represent internal reservoir architecture.
• Perform scale-up of well logs (upscaling) while maintaining statistical integrity.
• Utilize Data Analysis tools to create variograms and identify data trends.
• Implement Sequential Gaussian Simulation for continuous property modeling.
• Apply Sequential Indicator Simulation for discrete facies distribution.
• Integrate seismic attributes as secondary variables to constrain property models.
• Calculate fluid contacts and perform multi-case volumetric estimations.
• Create professional-grade 3D visualizations and map outputs for technical reporting.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

Geologists, Geophysicists, and Reservoir Modelers who are transitioning into digital modeling or looking to refine their professional software workflows.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximise the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
