3D Static Geological Model using PETREL

Oil, Gas & Petroleum · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 2,500

Overview

The main objective of this course is to provide a comprehensive understanding of static reservoir modelling and reliable reservoir models, which used to predict oil production, investigate various production scenarios and eventually help decision makers to optimize field development.

Learning Objectives

• To understand geostatistical methods.
• To apply geostatistical models to evaluate the data.
• To understand the concepts of Kriging and cokriging and how these are used in data analysis.
• To develop a conceptual geological model ahead of a static model building.
• To develop a sound structural model using regional data applied down to the model scale.
• To develop and test a stratigraphic model.
• To be able to develop a facies model and how to test this against analogs.
• To be able to determine petrophysical and property models.
• To know how to generate an accurate 3D static model by integrating all the above.
• How to integrate with the reservoir engineer to match simulation data

Frequently Asked Questions

What do Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum courses cover?

The portfolio spans the full value chain: upstream exploration, drilling and well control; midstream processing, pipelines and gas treatment; and downstream refining and petrochemicals — plus process safety management (PSM), HAZOP studies, corrosion control and plant operations. Trainers are practitioners from the sector.

Who should attend an oil, gas and petroleum course?

These courses suit process, production and petroleum engineers, plant and field operators and supervisors, maintenance and inspection staff, HSE and process safety professionals, and technical or commercial staff joining the sector from another industry.

How long are oil, gas and petroleum courses, and where are they held?

Most Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.

What certificate will I receive?

Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.

Can oil, gas and petroleum training be delivered in-house for our team?

Yes. Any Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum course can be delivered in-house at your own premises anywhere in Saudi Arabia or the GCC, with the content, dates and language of delivery tailored to your team. Al-Khobraa is an approved HRDF (Hadaf) provider, so eligible Saudi employers can seek training support. Contact us for a quotation.
