Applied Capillary Pressure and Saturation Height Modeling

Level: Advanced | Type: Classroom | Discipline: Petrophysics

This is an applied course on how to use capillary pressure data to help the user understand what is controlling the fluid distribution, the importance of pore geometry and why water saturation is not an accident.

Case studies and workshops on bi-modal carbonates are used to show the challenges associated with interpretating fluid distributions.  To understand many carbonates it is necessary to examine capillary pressure, HPMI, lab NMR, thin-sections and SEM images.

Both clastics and carbonate examples and core-log integration workshops are used show how simple saturation height models can be applied in fields to study many parameters as fluid contacts, hydro-carbon column height and help you determine the dominant hyrdocarbon-water contact.

A large number of workshops are used in this course so the participants can gain a hands-on experience for interpreting capillary pressure data.
