Course Goal:

The ability to use well log fundamentals, tools and techniques in qualitatively and quantitavely evaluation of prospective formations.

Course Objectives:

This course covers the fundamentals of logging tools & techniques and discusses using log data to evaluate prospective formations. This will analyze log data to obtain critical reservoir properties. This also uses petro-physics to optimize the effort of integrated, multi-disciplining team.

Course Outline:

1. Introduction : Petrophysical aspects of well logging.
2. Interaction of rocks & fluids in static & dynamic situations.
3. Wire line logging and the scientific principles on which it is based.
4. Comparing wire line logging to other conventional downhole evaluation.
5. Well site logging equipment & procedures.
6. The running & pulling procedure for Baker, Otis & other systems.
7. Porosity determination.
8. Resistivity determination.
9. Saturation determination.
10. Formation strength analysis.
11. Why log and seismic data often disagree?

Who Can Benefit?

All geologists, geoscientists and petroleum engineers.
