Well Log & Formation Eval

Catalog description

This course covers topics on methods of how to measure and interpret the physical and chemical properties of formation through the well logging tools. Fundamental principles of the use of borehole surveys to evaluate the formation characteristics and fluid contents of porous strata; well-log interpretation for formation evaluation of hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs; basic rock physics principles; theory of tool operation; analysis of open-hole logs and core measurements to estimate hydrocarbon reserves and petrophysical properties of the formation such as porosity, net pay thickness, water/hydrocarbon saturation, permeability, and saturation-dependent capillary pressure; formation evaluation of clay-free and shaly-sand formations as well as basic introduction to formation evaluation of organic-shale formations. Measurement principles, test types, and application of wireline Formation Testing, Production logging; Core analysis techniques; Integration of core analysis; Well logging results for reservoir modeling.
