course for PhD students 1300-SZD-WSZWP
Practice course consists of lecture part (5h) and exercise part (25h).
The following topics will be discussed during the lectures:
1) types and character of hydrocarbon reservoir rock formation in Poland;
2) characteristics of the sedimentary environment and processes which creates the primary textures of rocks and mineral composition of the selected reservoir rocks;
3) characteristics of the diagenesis and diagenetic mineralization of selected reservoir rocks;
4) characteristics of the geophysical and petrophysical properties of rocks based on the results of selected geophysical logging;
5) discussion of methods for normalizing archival geophysical data, methods of presentation of results, and limitations of the used geophysical logging.
The exercises focuses on:
1) recognition of the diversity of lithology and sedimentary structures, depositional geometry of rocks, shape of boundaries of lithological sequences in xposures and in the cores on the base of one of the selected reservoir rock formation;
2) making detailed macroscopic observations of the primary and diagenetic mineral composition of the analysed rocks;
3) conducting synthesis of scientific research on the selected reservoir rock formation in Poland;
4) geological interpretation of lithotypes of reservoir rocks in the context of sedimentary basin analysis;
5) recognition of correlation horizons with specific geophysical properties in field research, core material and in well logs;
6) detection of hydrocarbon traps on the base of well-logging
7) calculation of basic reservoir parameters of rocks – volume of shale and effective porosity;
8) making of the simplified reservoir rocks characteristics based on data collected on the core material and scientific articles

Learning outcomes
After completing the practice course the student:
P8U_W – knows the results of scientific research and modern publications about the selected reservoir rocks formation from Poland and the resulting implications for the exploration of hydrocarbon traps;
P8Z_WT – knows the latest methods of identification of reservoir rock parameters and understands the need to use them in hydrocarbon exploration;
P8S_UW – is able to use knowledge about the sedimentology, petrography, hydrocarbon geology, and selected geophysical methods necessary to describe of quality of reservoir rocks and their identification in wells
P8S_KK – is ready to critically evaluation of results of scientific research about reservoir rock formations and recognize the importance of knowledge in the exploration of hydrocarbons
Assessment criteria
The course is consisted of one lecture part (5h) and 5 exercise parts (5x5h). During the exercises PhD students prepare the field and electronic attachments. The course is passed on the base of properly making of individual and group attachments and on the base of graduate from final test.
