About
Petrophysics is fundamental to all aspects of the petroleum business. This course will cover the principles, applications, and integration of petrophysical information for reservoir description in depth. Through a combination of exercises, participants will learn how to conduct competent quick-look evaluations. Using data from open hole logs, logging-while-drilling, and core data, participants will evaluate porosity, permeability, and saturation in various reservoirs. Learning to integrate petrophysical information with other data sources will enhance participants' ability to assess technical risk when examining hydrocarbon opportunities.
Target Audience
Geoscientists and engineers with less than twelve months' experience using petrophysical data and other technical staff at all experience levels wanting a fundamental background in the petrophysics discipline.
You Will Learn
Participants will learn how to:
- Understand and apply at a basic level the theory and operation of major petrophysical tools
- Calibrate porosity and permeability values from core and log sources for improved saturation calculations
- Apply basic open hole logging, borehole seismic, image, and LWD/MWD
- Analyze and integrate log, core, geoscience, and engineering well data for well and field development projects
- Select petrophysical tool combinations for specific applications
- Assess the impact of petrophysical analyses on technical uncertainty estimates of reservoirs
