About
Production logging involves acquiring a suite of logging measurements in production or injection wells to evaluate well or reservoir flow performance. Special-purpose production logging tools can evaluate the well completion or look behind the pipe to evaluate the formation and its fluids near the wellbore. Production logs are increasingly important in modern reservoir management, providing the only means of directly identifying downhole fluid movement.
Target Audience
Petroleum engineers and managers, reservoir engineers, subsurface engineers, production engineers/technologists, petrophysicists, log analysts, and anyone interested in understanding production logs and cased-hole surveys.
You Will Learn
Participants will learn how to:
- Measure zonal inflows in producing wells using temperature measurements
- Measure multi-phase flow using temperature, spinner (flowmeter), and fluid holdup measurements
- Define injection profiles using temperature, radioactive tracer, and spinner (flowmeter) measurements
- Identify flow behind pipe with temperature, radioactive tracer, or noise logs
- Interpret cement bond logs and ultrasonic logs to determine cement quality
- Measure flow inside and outside casing with pulsed neutron tools
- Apply specialty tools (array holdup and spinners and pulsed neutron tools) for flow profiling in high angle/horizontal wells
- Confirm the location of some types of completion components using pulsed neutron measurements
- Design a logging program using the appropriate production logging services for well diagnosis and reservoir surveillance
