Petrophysics in Unconventional Reservoir Course
Introduction:
Petrophysics is central to the integration of a wide spectrum of related geoscience and engineering disciplines. However, students should also be familiar with at least two or more of the following topics: horizontal well drilling, wireline logging and log analysis, coring and core analysis, petrophysics, geophysics, geochemistry, formation testing, rock mechanics, hydraulic fracturing, and petroleum economics.
Course Objectives:
Participants will learn how to:
- Interpret petrophysical data gathering from unconventional reservoirs from both core and log data
- Assess TOC and maturity indicators
- Evaluate measurement provided by service companies
- Gauge gas-in-place and reserves in unconventional reservoirs
- Recognize consequences and magnitudes of shale anisotropy
- Interpret NMR and capillary pressure measurements made on shale
- Interpret microstructural imaging of shale
Who Should Attend?
Geoscientists involved with the evaluation and exploitation of unconventional reservoirs including tight gas sands, shale gas, and coal-bed methane.
Course Outlines:
- Overview of unconventional reservoirs
- Geochemistry of unconventional rocks
- Special coring and core analysis techniques for unconventional
- Wireline logging of unconventional reservoirs
- Assessment of formation organic content (TOC) and maturity
- Gas-in-place and reserve and flow potential estimates
- Geomechanics and fracturing
