About this Micro Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT)

Carbonate reservoirs are very different from clastic reservoirs in that they form in the basin of deposition and are mineralogically unstable. This affects both depositional character and post depositional alteration. This Micro VILT is designed to refresh participants' skills in understanding the geometry and petrophysical characteristics of carbonate reservoirs. In two sessions, this Micro VILT will address controls on depositional facies, including the effects of grain type, mineralogy, water-depth, climate and changes in relative sea-level. The second module will examine post-depositional changes, the evolution of porosity and its effects on petrophysical character, especially wettability, capillary pressure and saturation. This course demonstrates the need to understand carbonate reservoirs for successful exploration and exploitation.   Micro VILT Group Pricing: SGD$1,200 per person / USD$ 889 per person (Minimum 5 persons per group session) For more details on pricing for larger groups or customisation of course outline, call us at +65 6741 9927 or email [email protected]   Delivery of this Micro VILT: The Micro VILT will be delivered through Zoom, MS Teams or equivalent video conference platforms in combination with other online interactive training tools.   Micro VILT Duration: The Micro VILT will be delivered online in 1 session comprising 4 hours, with 2 breaks.
