Wireline Formation Testing and Interpretation - In-house training by PetroSkillsThis course can be conducted on site at your location exclusively for your staff. Formation testing and sampling tools with wireline (WFT) and formation pressures and sampling while-drilling (FPWD/FSWD) are widely used in exploration/appraisal and field development projects. During the past two decades, WFTs, such as MDT, RCI, and RDT, have emerged as one of the critical formation evaluation means in the upstream hydrocarbon exploration activities in high cost/risk and high reward drilling environments. In recent years technologies with FPWD/FSWD tools, such as TestTrak, GeoTape and Stethoscope, provide alternatives of formation testing in forms of earlier timing, flexible operational conveyance sequences in complicated wellbore entry into reservoirs. WFT and FPWD pressure data are acquired for predicting the hydrocarbon resource prospect & pool nature and key development uncertainties. Fluid samples are equally irreplaceable in exploration and appraisal project renewal and forward. This course is designed to satisfy the interdisciplinary need of geologists, petrophysicists, and reservoir engineers, who have an increasing use of wireline/LWD testing and sampling data. Practical class exercises are worked during the course. When the course ends, the participants are expected to apply the learned skills and tricks in designing test programs, maximizing chances of getting good quality tests, and benchmarking the confidence level of interpretation.

Training Course Content

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

  • Why formation testing and sampling in exploration, appraisals, development wells
  • How WFT/FPWD/FSWD tools work; Measurement fundamentals; Test types (pretest, extended flow, and packer test); Drawdown mobility applications; Data QA/QC; Factors that influence pressure data quality
  • Fundamental pressure gradient and FWL interpretation principles
  • Graphical interpretation techniques: scatter-plot for gradient QC, FWL and compositional gradient detection; excess pressure plot for compartmentalization studies; normalization plot for depleted reservoir
  • Multiple well data and multiple pressure trends for reservoir compartmentalization, continuity and extent
  • Qualification and quantification of data interpretation uncertainties
  • Mud filtration phenomena & near wellbore petrophysics; Mud slumping; Supercharging; Wettability/capillary effect
  • Downhole fluid ID: optical property measurement and contamination control; Sampling principles and fluid sample quality assurance procedures; In-Situ fluid property measurement and reliability
