Integrated Petrophysics for Carbonate & Fractured Reservoirs - A Roadmap (PPH03)
Description
This course represents the complete carbonate & fracture evaluation Recipe, from Quick Look log analysis to full Core-Log-Test integration. It presents a systematic, disciplined plan of action for the acquisition and integration of carbonate petrophysical data, highlighting problems and explaining solutions. The course provides a much needed systematic process for staff faced with the daunting prospect of managing carbonate & fracture, or other 'complex' reservoirs. Non-petrophysicists will learn how to quickly check geo-model input with 'Greenlists'.

Designed for you, if you are...
- A petrophysicist, any geologist, operations geologist, engineer or core analyst who uses or creates petrophysical results for carbonate or 'complex' reservoirs
Basic principles are reviewed; however a year’s experience in formation evaluation is desirable.
How we build your confidence
- All data is integrated, from drilling and LWD to well tests and the latest hi-tech logs via a recipe which provides a definitive set of results and a secure basis for decisions - a template for evaluating any complex reservoir
- The course explains how the physical characteristics of carbonates - tight, fractured or permeable - present failure points for classical log analysis
- How to drill, core, log, test and then integrate specifically to address these failure points is explained via a condensed learning session of interleaved theory, PetroDB-Vault IP demos, workshops and movies
- Drilling data, core, SCAL, logs, LithoScanner, NMR, Dielectric, Sigma, Acoustic, Image-logs and MDTs are all briefly explained and fitted together to form the definitive solution for any given data set
- Daily recaps; PetroDB-Vault interactive demos; micro-practicals; movies; workshops
The benefits from attending
By the end of the course you will feel confident in your understanding of:- The physical differences between carbonates and clastics and their data response implications
- Why extreme pores, vugs, fractures and oil wetness occur in carbonates and how to recognise and treat them
- Carbonate & fracture evaluation essentials. The failure points which must be identified & healed
- Why fracture well tests can be misleading and what critical other data you must have
- How common errors impact results using PetroDB-Vault interactive demos
- How to acquire and integrate key drilling, mudlog, core, special log and well test data
- How to do quick look carbonate log analysis and integrate capillary pressures with logs in Excel or IP
- How to do thorough, integrated and robust evaluations in any complex, conventional reservoir
- How end-users can critically review complex petrophysical results using the author’s greenlists
