Introduction to Petrophysics - Log Analysis, LWD & Wireline

Petrophysics remains a vital component to many facets of the petroleum industry, from quantification of hydrocarbon reserves, developmental strategies to real-time decision making for reservoir navigation. This 5 day course addresses the fundamental tenets of petrophysics and formation evaluation, using integrative perspective of multiple datasets, including geological, geophysical, logging and core data.

You will learn the latest geological, geophysical and logging/core technologies to understand better their role in petrophysical analysis, formation evaluation, and reservoir characterization. Pros & cons of key datasets will be addressed, with emphasis on need for integrative studies and selection of tool combinations to resolve key issues. You will learn quick-look qualitative techniques as well as quantitative aspects such as volume of shale/clay, porosity, permeability, and water saturation determinations. Significant worldwide case histories are included, as well as several exercises designed to provide hands-on experience.
