Course Description

This micro-credentials course provides an overview of how reservoir characterization and evaluation methods can be adapted from the petroleum industry for the purpose of CEP subsurface evaluation.

The methods reviewed include:

  • Core analysis
  • Log analysis
  • Rate-transient analysis
  • Pressure-transient analysis
  • Drilling data analysis
  • Geochemical analysis
  • Seismic methods
  • Passive seismic methods

The SECE program is designed to educate hydrocarbon industry professionals interested in exploring new opportunities in the rapidly emerging area of clean energy. 

Course Details

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Discuss the applicability of hydrocarbon industry training and skills to CEP evaluation
  • Describe and discuss how laboratory and well log analysis methods can be used for CEP evaluation
  • Describe how rate-transient and pressure-transient analysis methods can be used to evaluate subsurface reservoir and hydraulic fracture properties for CEP evaluation
  • Discuss how drilling data analysis can complement log and core analysis
  • Provide some examples of how geochemical analysis of produced fluids can be used to constrain other subsurface characterization methods
  • Discuss how seismic and passive seismic methods can be used for CEP evaluation
  • Understand the basic theory behind each of these characterization methods
  • Provide specific examples of the application of these methods to CEP evaluation
