About Course

This microlearning course introduces the fundamentals of petrophysics, the discipline that studies rock and fluid properties to help characterize a reservoir. Learners will explore porosity, permeability, and fluid saturation, and how these properties are used to estimate net pay and hydrocarbons in place. Designed for beginners, the course takes approximately 10-13 minutes to complete.

What Will You Learn?

  • Define petrophysics and its general role in reservoir characterization
  • Define porosity and explain what it represents
  • Define permeability and explain what it represents
  • Define fluid saturation and its significance
  • Explain the general concept of net pay
  • Recognize how petrophysical data supports estimates of hydrocarbons in place
