Course content

The course covers the most important elements in geological reservoir modeling. This is a cross-disciplinary task and the themes which will be covered are general reservoir modeling design, structural and stratigraphic models, different principles of modeling geological units in a hierarchical framework, the understanding of the relations between sedimentary processes on several scales and important reservoir properties such as porosity, permeability and multiphase parameters, upscaling of reservoir properties, statistical treatment of data and uncertainty analysis. The theory will be demonstrated with actual data and case studies. Practical exercises will be used to illustrate theoretical models.

Learning outcome

KNOWLEDGE: The student will gain knowledge of

  • The important elements which are involved in a geological reservoir model.
  • How to calculate the input parameters for a geological reservoir model.
  • How to interpret and use the results of a geological reservoir model.

SKILLS: The students will participate in cross-disciplinary teams aimed at development of geological reservoir models for oil and gas development, and CO2 storage.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures and compulsory practical exercises. The course will be taught in English if international master's students attend. The course is evaluated by a reference group.

Further on evaluation

If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
