Program Details
GS 672: Reservoir Sedimentology
This course covers facies diagnosis and facies models of carbonates, classification of carbonate rocks, standard microfacies types, carbonate diagenesis, porosity evolution and diagenesis in sequence stratigraphic framework, pore geometry and performance of reservoir rocks, and relationship of depositional environments with the development of reservoirs. It also explores properties of sandstone, environment of deposition of sandstone, sandstone classification, porosity evolution in course of sandstone diagenesis, characteristic reservoir morphology and criteria for recognition of eolian, fluvial, coastal, deltaic, shelf and basin sandstone bodies, reservoir heterogeneity, and petrophysical analysis using logs.
