Instructor: Eric Dahlberg, ECD Geological Specialists (1979), Saskatchewan Petroleum Ventures LTD

The fee includes food at breaks, workbook and PDH certificate. 

The major thrust of this course, is that if “one can characterize the formation water behavior within a volume of rock, then one can predict the related behavior of any associated hydrocarbons  in terms of where they are moving, and where they (as a function of hydrology and geology) will become trapped, and where significant accumulations are most likely to be encountered, and what these accumulations will be shaped like.” The course is an effective blend of theory and practice.

 

It discusses and analyzes petroleum hydrogeological concepts and procedures which allow the geologist and engineer to utilize water data in the development of regional plays and local prospects and the accurate delineation of existing oil and gas pools.

 

The subjects covered include : Fluids,  Subsurface Pressures and Gradients; Formation Pressure Measurements, DST and RFT; Fluid Environments, Flow and No-Flow; Potential Energy in Fluids and Electrical analogs; Rock Grain Systems, Pore Spaces, and Capillarity; Mechanics of Abnormal Pressures; Uses for Pressure-Depth relationships; Potentiometric Map construction and utilization, and subsurface Waterflow; Pressure Correlations of Geologic Units and Reservoirs; Tilted Oil-Water Contacts and, recognizing them from logs; Displaced Oil and Gas Pools; Construction of Entrapment Potential Cross Sections; U,V,Z Map constructions, and reflection of the combined effects of Facies, Structure, and Water Movement on Hydrocarbon Entrapment and Migration; Hydrodynamically-influenced plays, prospects and risk elements; Examples, Case Histories and Problems.
