    The document summarizes the key learnings and conclusions from a summer training program on sedimentological reservoir characterization. The training covered topics such as reservoir definition, porosity and permeability measurements, grain size and shape analysis to determine the depositional environment, and implications for well placement. Through observation, research, and modeling, the participants gained an understanding of fluvial sedimentary systems and how the sedimentological model evolved over time with new data. The technical conclusions highlighted the importance of sedimentological characterization for predicting reservoir properties and geometry. Career-wise, the importance of cooperation, open communication with managers, and maintaining integrity were emphasized.

    What is Reservoir?

    A rock of connected pores

    Is it a reservoir?

    How much can it hold respective to its unit volume?


    How good they are connected?
    It swapped all the water so its a reservoir

    Technical Conclusions

    Geologist is a good observer, thinker and researcher


    Sedimentological characterization is the discipline of identifying the
    sedimentary environment of the reservoir via investigating; grain sizes ,
    shapes, bed forms and other structures
    Sedimentological characterization is crucial for reservoir geometry and
    property trends prediction hence well placements
    Sedimentological models evolve with time as knowledge and data are
    available

    Career-wise Conclusions

    Good cooperation is the main reason for success


    Be open with your manager
    If your boss doesnt like your work, that doesnt mean that you failed

    There is no success without


    cooperation, competence and
    integrity
