Carbonate Petrophysics
| 07 – 11 July 2025 | Abu Dhabi | 24 – 28 Nov. 2025 | Dubai | 08 – 12 Dec. 2025 | Abu Dhabi |
Course Overview:
The course provides to develop or improve their skill and understanding of basic economic analysis andprofitability of petroleum exploration andproduction
The course provides to recognize the key distinctions between carbonates and sandstones, and understand the implications of those differences upon modern logging tool responses and formation evaluation methods
Perform both quick-look and detailed interpretations, taking into account carbonatecomplexities
Design a cross-discipline formation evaluationprogram that will characterize the interpretational parameters associated, with a specificreservoir, and facilitate complete analysis
Course Objectives:
After attending the course, participants will be able to:
*Forecasting oil production
*Defining: "reserves",operating expenses, capital expenditures, inflation, factorseffecting oil and gas prices Cash flow techniques
Economic criteria: interest, hurdle rate, time value of money, selection, ranking criteria
* Risk, uncertainty :types of risk, mathematical techniques, probabilistic models, uncertainty in economic analysis* *Financing ownership in the oil and gas industry: businessarrangements between operators, between mineral owners
*Accounting versus cash flow: accounting principles anddefinitions, differences between accounting cash numbers.depreciation, depletion, amortization
*Budgeting: types,processes, selecting of projects for the budget Economic analysis of operations Computer economics softwareTips on economic factors in computer spreadsheet analysis After attending the course, participants will be able to:
*Reservoir classification according to the Lucia *Petrophysical Classification methodology
