GEOS 5113 - Geostatistics and Petroleum Reservoir Modeling

3 (3-1)

Prerequisite(s): GEOS 4534 and GEOS 4034 or the approval of the instructor.

This course focuses on the theory and application of geostatistics and closely allied methodologies (e.g. Multiple Point Statistics or MPS) used to interpret and model oil and gas reservoirs, aquifers, and metallic ore deposits. Specific topics include kriging, sequential Gaussian simulation, sequential indicator simulation, object-based methods such as multiple point statistics, uncertainty assessment, and the use of experimental design-based workflows to build low, mid, and high case reservoir models for probabilistic assessment of recovery. The course will cover theory as well as case history examples. Students will also learn to build sophisticated reservoir models using spreadsheet and industry standard software with synthetic and actual reservoir data for both small and large petroleum reservoirs.
