Basics of Petrophysics Operations
Course Description
No amount of fancy post-processing can really overcome problems caused by data which is bad from the start. Callibration and other wireline and MWD product quality problems discovered at the wellsite can usually be rectified. Once a well has been cased, however, the best a wireline or MWD vendor can offer is discounted charges and/or credit against future work. We will work with the wellsite staff and the wireline and/or MWD vendors to ensure that the log data obtained is the highest quality possible.

This course will help the candidates understand logging measurements, logging operations, tool calibration and environmental corrections. The course will focus on log quality control on tool measurements and handling, data loading and practice application for curve editing. At the end of the course, the candidates will have extensive knowledge of well logging and quality data logs.

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

  • Understand basics of open and cased hole logging measurements
  • Improve logging operations and tool calibrations
  • Acquire knowledge on log quality control on tool measurements (log readings) and data handling
  • Understand porosity tools measurements and determination
  • Learn and practice curve editing (depth matching, despiking, splicing and multiple run merge)
  • Understand data loading and it’s relation with log results
  • Introduction to core analysis and loading of output parameters
  • Practice application on Data-Base creation and loading digital, scanned or digitized data of different format using IP
