Instructor and Originator of RFG: Dr. Oliver C. Mullins, SLB Fellow
Course Description: Reservoir fluid geodynamics is a new technical discipline initiated by the instructor. The primary use of RFG is reservoir evaluation generally to address specific reservoir concerns. To date, 80 reservoirs have been evaluated through the lens of RFG with 35 Operators; ~1/3 of the studies are published. This course emphasizes reservoir evaluation via WL measurements particularly with formation testers. Nevertheless, RFG provides a platform of data integration across many disciplines including thermodynamics, PVT, geochemistry, geology, petroleum systems, and reservoir simulation. The course is designed to be useful for petrophysicists, reservoir engineers, geologists, geoscientists of all stripes, and those generally who care about reservoir evaluation.

Dr. Oliver C. Mullins, a chemistry, is an SLB Fellow and member, U.S. National Academy of Engineering. He initiated “reservoir fluid geodynamics” which accounts for fluid compositional redistribution and phase changes during and post charge over geologic time. RFG is founded on asphaltene thermodynamics which his team developed. RFG utilizes downhole fluid analysis which Dr. Mullins initiated. He authored two books, coedited 3 books, coauthored 17 book chapters and 320 papers. He coinvented 143 allowed US patents. He has 29,000 citations on google scholar. He has received several international awards from four different organizations including: the SPWLA Gold Medal for Technical Achievement, the SPE Anthony F. Lucas Gold Medal, the SPE International Reservoir Description and Dynamics Award, the George A. Olah Award in Hydrocarbon or Petroleum Chemistry from the American Chemical Society, Pioneer in Energy Research from the American Chemical Society and the inaugural ADIPEC Lifetime Achievement Award for Outstanding Technical Excellence to the Oil and Gas Industry.
