RokDoc Reservoir Characterization - 2 Days Course

January 19 - 20, 2023

Course Outline:

2 Day Course: Intended for intermediate RokDoc users who require an introduction to Rock Physics Model Templates and RokDoc 3D. Attendees are taken through a series of workflows illustrating the predictive power of rock physics models, before progressing to RokDoc-3D, where the user can model lithologies and fluids, manipulate seismic inversion volumes, create elastic and geological property volumes, and export them to SEG-Y.

The first half of this course covers facies classifications, rock physics model calibration, forward and reverse log modeling, per-facies depth trends and simple blocky modeling. The second day focuses on 3D applications, including building models, 2D and 3D Bayesian classification, reverse modeling lithology and porosity from seismic, AVO analysis and extended elastic impedance.
