Advanced Well Log Interpretation & Formation Evaluation Techniques
Course Description
In the E&P business, integrated petroleum engineering studies and field development plans are management tools which are used to maximize economic recovery of hydrocarbons. Petrophysical engineers fulfill a key role in analyzing and interpreting subsurface reservoir data, which form the basis for reservoir models. E&P technical staff and team leaders involved in integrated studies require more than general skills in petrophysical and interpretation techniques to produce quality input to development plans. At the end of the course, participants will be able to quantitatively identify the reservoir quality, measure the storage capacity of the reservoir through integrating the reservoir and petrophysical data and to improve oil recovery

Well logs are detailed record of the geologic formations by a borehole. These are comprehensive and important data gathered in any phase of a well’s history to identify petrophysical properties which in turn defines the economic value of a reservoir. The techniques in analysis and interpretation of well logs are therefore essential in identification of hydrocarbon recovery.

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

    • Drive a consistent and effective Petrophysics inputs to improve oil recovery
    • Understand rock properties and pore geometry
    • Capitalize on integration reservoir and petrophysical data to maximize economic recovery of hydrocarbons
    • Attain the knowledge and practical use of total and effective porosity calculation
    • Understand new techniques and tools in well logging including imaging logging tools
    • Acquire knowledge on permeability and rock quality interpretation
    • Learn and practice integration of core analysis and open-hole logs
    • Learn from practical experiences and case studies scenarios
