Fundamentals of Reservoir Description and Modeling with Geostatistics
Disciplines: Data Science and Engineering Analytics | Reservoir
Course Description
This course introduces engineers, geologists, and geoscientists to the fundamental theory and practice of reservoir description and modeling for reservoir management. Participants will learn the fundamental concepts of reservoir description and modeling using geostatistical techniques. This course emphasizes the principles and practice of integrated studies and uncertainty analysis.
Topics:
- Fundamentals of reservoir modeling
- Overview of statistics and probability
- Data analysis, quality control, and preparation
- Variogram modeling
- Kriging techniques
- Stochastic simulation and modeling case studies
- Overview of uncertainty analysis and integrated studies

Instructor
David O. Ogbe, PE is the president and a senior reservoir engineering advisor with Greatland Solutions, in Denver, Colorado, and professor emeritus, University of Alaska. Before joining Greatland Solutions, Ogbe was a lead reservoir engineer with Schlumberger in Denver. He was a professor of petroleum engineering and coordinator of the Coalbed Methane for Rural Energy Research Program at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Ogbe specializes in oil and gas reservoir engineering, well testing, reservoir simulation, reservoir characterization and formation evaluation, and in large-scale reservoir simulation.
Ogbe earned his BS and MS from Louisiana State University and his PhD from Stanford University, all in petroleum engineering.
