Course Outline
Module I: Fractured & Unconventional Reservoir Modelling
Day 1 to 5
- Introduction to natural fractures in rocks
- Classification: joints, faults, shear, tensile fractures
- Fundamentals of rock stress and failure
- Stress regimes (normal, strike-slip, reverse)
- Fracture geometry: orientation, spacing, aperture
- Indicators: veins, shear zones, breccias
- In-situ stress measurements: breakouts, leak-off, minifrac
- Stress anisotropy and fracture reactivation
- Unconventional reservoir systems: shale, tight gas, fractured carbonates
- Flow mechanisms in dual systems: matrix vs fracture flow
- Pressure support, depletion, and flow compartmentalization
- Water and gas coning in fractured systems
- Wellbore stability in fractured rocks
- Mud weight windows and collapse risk
- Natural fractures vs induced fractures in wellbores
- Impact of stress orientation on drilling hazards Introduction to directional drilling concepts
- Well trajectory types: build, hold, drop
- Horizontal and multilateral wells in fractured settings
- Geosteering principles: staying within target zones
