Course Description

Log Quality Control and Petrophysics Training Course

This short course introduces fundamental log quality control concepts for all open hole logs usually run in wells. The participants will learn how to effectively control the quality of all logs in real time. The exercises are developed with actual logs ran in real wells, so the participants will be exposed to log quality control on real data. At the end of the course the participants will be trained to perform log quality control on real time at wellsite as well as post-morten in the office.

Course Objectives

The certification of the acquired data is a very critical aspect of wireline logging. It is performed through the observation of key quality indicators, the main objective of this course is to make all participants aware of these quality indicators as well as the different techniques to solve commonly found issues at the wellsite.

Who Should Attend

Engineers in exploration and production departments, geologists, geophysicist and petrophysicist, petroleum, reservoir and drilling engineers who are directly involved with data validation and interpretation of wireline and LWD logs.

Production Logging Training

This short course introduces basic concepts used for production logging in vertical wells and progresses to more complex cases of highly deviated and horizontal wells, explaining the application, limitations and evolution of the different sensors used in the PL services. Most importantly, the course empowers the attending delegates to tailor data acquisition programs selecting the best set of sensors depending on fluids being produced, well deviation, completions type and objective of the log. The discussion of the response and quality control of each sensor is used to guide the attendees on the process of interpretation, starting from individual sensors and evolving to the combination of two or more sensors to determine fluid type and its quantitative contribution by each of the producing intervals. This short course is illustrated with practical exercise after each topic and quizzes at the end of each day to help the attendees absorb and retain the important concepts of each day and to help the tutor gauge the progress as course progresses.
