Course Description

The course is designed for engineers who are involved in the formation evaluation process, in which coring, mud logging productivity testing and wire line logging are the main components - well logs provide a comprehensive snapshot of all the formation penetrated by a borehole. The course stresses the theory, measurements, applications and limitation of the available logging tools. Interpretation methods for rock type, lithology, porosity and hydrocarbon saturation are reviewed.
 

Course Goal

To enhance the participants’ knowledge, skills, and ability necessary to understand theory, measurements, applications and limitation of the available logging tools.
 

Course Objectives

By the end of this course, participant will be able to:

• Understand why wireline formation testing and sampling: technologies, applications, and limitations.
• Assemble wireline testing programs, tool configurations.
• Conduct QC pressures and sampling in the wellsite.
• Interpret pressure gradient data for in-situ fluid densities, fluid contact levels.
• Compare multiple pressure gradient trends for reservoir connectivity/continuity.
• Perform statistical analysis and quantify uncertainties of pressure gradient and hy-drocarbon-water levels (HWC) at various confidence level.
• Design and interpret pressure transient data for permeability.
