PETROGEO 7021 - Petrophysics of Energy Resource Systems

Petrophysics of Energy Resource Systems will give participants an overview of well logging concepts, the measurement or inference of basic rock properties, the wellbore environment, petrophysical tools, interpretation concepts and the standard petrophysical analysis, interpretation and modelling workflow. Students will learn the best techniques in the interpretation of wireline logging tool datasets, including the determination of lithology, porosity, fluid content and movement, and net pay. Both, qualitative (quick look) and quantitative analyses methods are covered. Practical aspects, such as logging operations, including MWD, and logging program design will also be addressed. Practical examples are used throughout and case histories are used to demonstrate specific aspects. Specialised Methods and Recent Advances give an overview of dipmeter and borehole imaging logs, as well as NMR, and determination of permeability from logs. The main interactive modes of assessment will be through progressive petrophysical analyses to build up the complete picture of a geological energy resource system recorded by real well data. Industry-standard petrophysical reporting will also be demonstrated and assessed.
