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.
