Abstract Jebel Fuwairit, Qatar, is a unique geological site where an active and fossil coastal spit are developed next to each other. It offers opportunities to study active carbonate forming processes and map the fossil formations. Heterogeneities of carbonate depositional systems and early facies related digenesis are available for investigation on multiple scales: bed-body-reservoir. It provided a unique opportunity to establish a training section and digital model for education and training/collaboration site for professionals in industry. Primary objective is to provide students experience in measurements/ research methods for developing a digital model of an oil/gas reservoir based on an outcrop study. Another objective is to establish a hands-on training opportunity for professionals/ students to learn the process of rock based reservoir model building. Field camps were conducted to collect GPS mapping of key surfaces, cross-beds and several sedimentological sections in combination with rock samples, and facies/ microfacies descriptions. Photo panels of several cliff sections were created. CT-scan and porosity/permeability measurement of hand samples were conducted to understand the pore architecture for such carbonates. Work continues on integrating measurements at different length scales in a 3D digital model of the reservoir. Jebel Fuwairit outcrop has never been described before. This work will create the first 3D digital geology model for Qatar and unique educational experience for students. This outcrop in Qatar, studied jointly with geologists and reservoir engineers from industry, is a beach-bar complex that is an analog for Upper Jurassic Arab and Lower Triassic Khuff Formations (K2/K1 sequence), which hold most of the oil/gas reserves in the Middle-East.
