PETROENG 7060 - Petrophysics

Introduction to Petrophysics will give participants an overview of petrophysics: well logging concepts and basic rock properties, wellbore environment, petrophysical tools and interpretation concepts. Lectures and associated class exercises provide a practical understanding of the interpretation of wireline tools and techniques, 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. The course also covers more recent technologies and techniques such as NMR and permeability estimation from logs. At the end of the course students will be able to integrate log, core and pressure data to fully characterize a formation and its fluids.
