COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Open Hole Logging Methods and Formation Evaluation. It covers the importance of open hole logging in subsurface exploration; the relationship between rock types, porosity, permeability and fluid saturation; the petrophysical rock/fluid properties, geological formation and rock types; the role of well logging in subsurface exploration and reservoir evaluation; the different rock formations and fluid contents affecting logging data; the wireline logging, TLC (tough logging conditions) and logging while drilling (LWD); and the comparison between wireline and LWD. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the logging conveyance in difficult wells; the best practices for selecting logging methods; how tool responses translate into petrophysical properties and how logging tools measure porosity using neutron, density and sonic logs; the water saturation calculation and techniques for estimating permeability from well log data; the fluid types covering oil, gas and water; and the use of crossplots to interpret porosity, saturation and lithology from log data.
