Reservoir Engineering
Naturally Fractured Reservoirs: Geologic and Engineering Analysis
An integrated geological and engineering view of how naturally fractured reservoirs are characterised, evaluated and managed. The course discusses what the available tools and procedures can and cannot do, and uses field cases to show why combined studies lead to more effective and economic management strategies. It applies to conventional reservoirs.
