About Training
A successful exploration and exploitation project requires efficient use of an integrated, multi disciplinary team. This training course examines how such a team should be structured, what questions should be asked of each member and what tasks each should perform to deliver the answers. It addresses the different requirements of conventional plays, tight gas plays, and resources plays. Several different field examples will be used, with one public domain data set used as a common characterization theme through all modules.
Training Objectives
- Differentiate the contributions of a geologist, petrophysicist, geophysicist and reservoir engineer to a reservoir characterization project
- Establish the geological, petrophysical, geophysical and engineering data required to initiate a reservoir characterization project
- Determine which questions need to be answered and thus what tasks performed by each member of an integrated team
- Generate workflows for characterization of a conventional reservoir, tight gas reservoirs, and shale gas or shale oil reservoirs.

Hai-Zui ("Hai-Ray") Meng has over 30 years of experience in the oil and gas industry working in various technical positions. Hai-Ray created iReservoir.com, Inc. to provide integrated reservoir characterization and fluid flow simulation consulting services using state-of-the-art geoscience and engineering technologies. Previously, he was with Marathon Oil Company, Dowell Schlumberger and Flopetrol-Johnston Schlumberger.
Dr. Meng has conducted numerous integrated reservoir characterization, reservoir simulation and reservoir management studies. Dr. Meng has extensive reservoir characterization experience including seismic attribute analysis, 3D faulted structural framework modeling, deterministic and stochastic AI inversion, 3-D geologic model construction, and 'very practical' geostatistical modeling for reservoir engineering problems.
Dr. Meng has also conducted detailed reservoir management studies using both black-oil and compositional fluid flow simulation models that are constrained to honor the existing geological, geophysical, petrophysical, and engineering data. Dr. Meng has served on various Technical Committees for both the SPE and SEG as was author of the chapter "Design of Propped Fracture Treatments" in Schlumberger's 1987 textbook on Reservoir Stimulation.
