About this Training Course In the oil & gas industry, it is common knowledge that operators and main contractors, contract or sub-contract a wide range of their activities. The service contract is the tool used to share the risk of a service between the operator and contractor. It is also an approach adopted by the operator to control the efficiency of his contractor. This course allows all parties involved, company, contractors and subcontractors, to better understand the contractual relationship, their rights and obligations. It gives a detailed review of the contract and its main features. This course will particularly focus on the services contracts that are put in place to support a drilling campaign, covering all specificities of the various contracts. Training Objectives At the end of this course, participants will: Get a thorough understanding of the service contract clauses Be able to administer the contract and optimise the relationship with the company or contractor Target Audience This course will be useful and applicable for the following professionals: contract engineers, contracts administrators, any party involved in the relationship between the company and the contractors of a service contract Drillers and logisticians may also have interest in this course as it covers the contractual aspects of their operational activity: They are the 'Owners' of these services contracts Trainer Your expert course leader has 25 years of experience in management positions in Contracting, Procurement and Logistics, mainly in the Oil & Gas Industry.

About this Training Course This 5 full-day course has been designed to develop skills in understanding the geometry and petrophysical characteristics of carbonate reservoirs. Depositional fabric, grain type and size and subsequent diagenetic modifications are the major controls on carbonate reservoir behaviour. The complex inter-relationship of the depositional and burial history can be unravelled to allow prediction of reservoir facies and reconstruction of three-dimensional reservoir models. This course will demonstrate the value of the reservoir model in volumetric assessment and development of carbonate reservoirs. *Previous knowledge of carbonate sedimentology is not required. Course Content in Summary: Carbonate reservoirs: Basic principles; depositional concepts; grain types; textures and fabrics; environmental reconstruction. The reservoir model - depositional and diagenetic characteristics: Sabkha/tidal flat; lagoon; shelf; reef (rudist and coral/algal); barrier/shoal; slope and redeposited; aeolian and lacustrine; karst plays. Carbonate diagenesis: Primary and secondary porosity; compaction; pressure solution; cementation; dolomitisation; porosity generation and destruction; fractures. Carbonate sequence stratigraphy Log response in carbonate rocks: Gamma; sonic; neutron; density; FMS. Reservoir assessment: Fracture reservoirs; reservoir modelling; volumetric assessment in correlation and mapping; effects of capillary pressure; interface with engineering. Training Objectives By attending this course, participants will be able to: Understand carbonate depositional systems and controls. Recognise and model controls on reservoir quality and pore systems, including diagenesis and fracturing. Understand and apply carbonate seismic stratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy.
