About Training
This course stresses practical aspects of reservoir characterization for reservoir and production engineers, with a special emphasis on:
- Assessing recovery and reserves
- Petrophysical evaluation of naturally fractured Fractured (NFR)
- Rock typing, reservoir zoning and flow units
- Interpretation of pressure tests of vertical and horizontal wells in NFR
- Reservoir management for optimum performance
Training Objectives
- Integrate rock data obtained from logs and cores
- Generate permeability-porosity relations unique to their reservoir
- Utilize data from formation evaluation tools to determine reservoir quality
- Identify and characterize flow units
- Analyze the variations in pore architecture and its effect on permeability
- Relate fracture density, aperture, and length to facies, lithology and digenesis
- Determine fracture porosity and permeability in NFR
- Calculate Porosity partitioning coefficient of a naturally fractured reservoir
- Calculate storage capacity and inter-porosity flow factor
- Analyze well tests in naturally fractured reservoirs
- Assess reservoir performance of horizontal wells in NFR
- Use MBE to analyze impact of pressure Depletion on Recovery

Dr. Djebbar Tiab
- Over 35 years of experience in the Oil & Gas industry
- Consulted & Trained for Oil & Gas companies in the USA, Africa, Middle East & Asia
- Author of several publications and numerous SPE technical papers
Dr. Djebbar TIAB is the senior Professor of Petroleum Engineering at the University of Oklahoma (OU). He received his B.Sc. (May 1974) and M.Sc. (May 1975) degrees from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, and Ph.D. degree (July 1976) from the University of Oklahoma - all in Petroleum Engineering, with a minor in mathematics. He served as the Director of the “OU Graduate Program in Petroleum Engineering in Algeria” from 1996 to 2004.
He worked for over two years in the oil fields of Algeria for Alcore, S.A., an association of Sonatrach and Core Laboratories. He has also worked and consulted for Core Laboratories and Western Atlas in Houston, Texas, for four years (1990-1993) as a Senior Reservoir Engineer Advisor. He is the owner and General Manager of the consulting and training company UPTEC (United Petroleum Technology, LLC), based in Norman, Oklahoma. Dr. Tiab has consulted for a number of oil companies and offered training programs in petroleum engineering in the U.S.A. and overseas.
