NEI «Academy of Engineering for Oil and Gas Fields» is recruiting a group for the supplementary professional education program «Rock Physics for Modelling Effective Physical Properties of Reservoir Rocks».
🔹 Date:: 01.07-03.07/2026
🔹 Place: Moscow
🔹 Cost:65 000 RUB
🔹 Duration, days/hours:3 days/24 hours
The purpose of the course:enhancement of professional competencies for exploration geophysics specialists in applying the theory of effective media (Rock Physics), which enables linking the mineral composition and microstructure of rock with its physical properties (elastic wave velocities, thermal and electrical conductivity, hydraulic permeability) for hydrocarbon reservoir rocks.
Upon completion of the course participants will be able to: enhance professional competencies, demonstrated through the following abilities:
- to predict physical properties of rocks at various scales based on their composition and internal structure features;
- to explain the existence of correlations between different physical properties;
- to determine «unmeasured» physical properties from measured ones;
- to formulate geometric characteristics of the pore‑fracture space in sedimentary rocks;
- to identify fractured zones in reservoir rocks and determine their characteristics;
- to reconstruct the complete elasticity tensor (or transport properties) of an anisotropic rock from a limited number of physical property measurements, insufficient for applying conventional methods;
- to build a scale‑dependent velocity model of anisotropic reservoir rocks, accounting for the anisotropy of their physical properties, for hydraulic fracturing monitoring.
