Course Objectives.

• To help in good teamwork and communication between the reservoir engineers and reservoir geologists.

• To give the petroleum and reservoir engineers the importance of the reservoir geology in evaluating and the principles of modeling reservoir formation by specifying the geological factors.

• The different geological factors which affect the engineering activities

•  The drilling logging testing completion development and production.

• Coordination between engineers and geologists is the main objective of this course.

Course Outline:

• The reservoir in perspective.
• Why petroleum reservoirs of same type are different?
