This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Well Prognosis. It covers the role and importance of well prognosis in the petroleum industry; the wellbore stability, porosity, permeability and reservoir characteristics; the geological factors impacting well prognosis; the types of rock formations, fault lines and sedimentary structures; the geophysical data analysis; and drilling fluids and their role in well prognosis; the well logging techniques, well design and trajectory planning; and utilizing petrophysical data to optimize well placement and design.
Further, the course will also discuss the advanced imaging techniques for subsurface mapping and risk assessment in well planning; integrating geological and geophysical data to improve prognosis accuracy; the advanced log interpretation and the role of core samples in well prognosis; the software tools that model well behavior under various scenarios; and the drilling operations, real-time data acquisition and monitoring and managing drilling uncertainties.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the predictive modelling and decision support systems; the safety and environmental considerations in drilling; the well prognosis tools and techniques; the challenges and limitations in current well prognosis practices; the emerging technologies and their potential impact that can transform well prognosis practices; and the cost implications and economic benefits of effective well prognosis.
