Shaly Sand Petrophysics - APS - In House Training

This in-house training programme can be customised to meet your specific requirements. It typically covers:

• Review of log interpretation techniques in clean formations
• Core analyses and applications of specific core tests
• Petrographic analysis (thin section, X-ray diffraction SEM/EDS) for shaly sand evaluation
• The nature of clay minerals and shale laminations and how they are distributed in shaly sands
• Influence of clay minerals and shale laminations on petrophysical properties
• Occurrence of clay minerals and shale laminations in reservoir rocks and relation to depositional environment and diagenesis
• Integration of petrographic, core and log data for evaluation of shaly sands
• Effects of clay minerals and shale laminations on log responses in shaly sands: Various methods of shale content evaluation
• Models for porosity and saturation determination: Total and Effective Porosity, and Archie, Waxman-Smits, Dual Water and Juhasz saturation methods
• Prediction of permeability and producibility from logs in shaly sands: identification of bypassed pay
• Use of advanced logs- NMR, BHI, Dipmeters - integration with core data for purposes of evaluation
