Description
This course teaches integrated reservoir characterization, from basic petrophysics through geostatistics. The emphasis is on porosity, permeability, capillary pressure and relative permeability as they relate to flow. The course also covers the statistics of the spatial distribution of these properties and illustrates the benefits of using them.

Topics Include:
- Single-phase petrophysical porosity, permeability and non-Darcy effects
- Two-phase flow: capillary pressure, relative permeabilities and trapped phase saturations
- Heterogeneity and non-uniformity
- Effective properties: (pseudo) porosity
- Absolute permeability: capillary pressure, relative permeability, dispersivity and viscous fingering
