Carbonate Reservoirs

Contacts: Sebastian Geiger ([email protected]), Patrick Corbett

Carbonate Reservoir Challenge

• Carbonate reservoirs contain over 60%

of the world’s remaining conventional oil

and 40% of the world’s remaining

conventional gas reservoirs

• Recovery factors are significantly lower

than in clastic reservoirs – a small (1 -

2%) increase will impact global

hydrocarbon reserves

• Carbonate reservoirs become

increasingly important for providing

natural gas and securing energy supply

• There are major opportunities for storing

CO2 in carbonate formations

Pore-scale physics

Geology and flow at the grid-block and

inter-well scale

Applications to real fields

New model concepts

3AW25

3B1

Collaborations

International Centre for Carbonate

Reservoirs (ICCR); alliance with Edinburgh

and Oxford, including academic institutions

in Brazil.

Several national and international

universities (e.g. Princeton, TU Delft,

University of Calgary, Imperial College)

Our philosophy and approach

• Provide a holistic view across scales

(pore- to field-scale) and disciplines

(reservoir characterisation, modelling,

and simulation), while sourcing other

fields (mathematics, physics, material &

computer sciences) for new technologies

• Span all TRL levels, from fundamental

science and proof-of-concept studies to

applications to real fields and datasets

that demonstrate business impact

• Operate internationally and collaborate

with both industry and academia

• Train a new generation of carbonate

reservoir scientists Further information: Institute of Petroleum Engineering,

Heriot-Watt University- http://carbonates.hw.ac.uk
