Advance Log Interpretation Course
Introduction:
This interactive, application-driven 5-day Advanced Log Interpretation training course will highlight the techniques and principles of advanced log interpretation for oil industry professionals who need to deal with wireline and/or LWD logs in their daily job.
This training course will explore the tools response explained from their physical principles as well as their relationship with the rock and fluid properties, most existing open-hole logging technologies will be covered explaining their main applications and limitations. Advanced interpretation methods will be discussed with numerous examples and exercises including complex lithology interpretation techniques. At the end of the training course, we will hold a mini-workshop on optimum logging program selection based on minimum set of logs needed for a proper evaluation, company budget, and tools’ limitations.
Course Objectives:
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the physical principles of most existing logging tools
- Apply basic quality control techniques to validate logging data
- Know the main applications and limitations of the different tool readings
- Perform a quantitative formation evaluation on a complex lithology
- Understand the uses of advanced logging tools in complex lithology interpretation
