Duration

Two days.

Description

This course is intended for new and existing Tigress users who are involved in producing reservoir maps and volumetric calculations.

In this course we use averaged zone property results (zone parameters) and zone top values to create well control point sets for input to grid generation. We then cover editing of control point data and grids, using both interactive techniques and arithmetical operators. Trainees will learn how to determine volumetric calculations for gross rock, net rock, net porosity and net fluid porosity thicknesses and display them in 3D. Base map creation and plot generation are also covered.

Applications

The following applications are covered in the course:

  • Cartographic Projection
  • Mapping Import/Export
  • Map Editor
  • Map Operations
  • Perspective Display
  • Volumetrics.

Prerequisites

Attendance of the Tigress Fundamentals course. Familiarity with working on Unix/Linux workstations and windowed environments is an advantage.

Format

Demonstrations, lectures and user exercises.

Objectives

On completion of the course, trainees will be able to:

  • create a cartographic system for latitude and longitude conversion
  • use geological and petrophysical data to create control point sets
  • grid control point sets using CPS3 or DGI algorithms
  • define contouring intervals and other display parameters
  • edit mapping data interactively
  • calculate dip and azimuth values from structure maps
  • create full base map displays and hardcopy
  • generate 3D grid and fence diagram displays
  • apply arithmetical and logical operators to grids and control point data
  • calculate gross rock, net reservoir rock, net porosity and net fluid pore volumes.
