Integrated Petrophysics - How to use Special Core Analysis with Modern Logs (PPH931)
Starting dates and places
This product does not have fixed starting dates and/or places.
Description
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This is the VILT condensed version of the IPSCAL special core analysis with modern logs course.
This course does more than calibrate your density log with core grain density and porosity. It starts with the conventional core analysis laboratory procedures necessary to create the compatible data sets required for proper special core analysis (SCAL) integration. It then describes the SCAL procedures for static and dynamic geo-models logically, in sequence, integrating SCAL results with powerful, modern logs to show how key reservoir parameters are better quantified with SCAL. NMR, Dielectric, Cross Dipole sonic, 3D resistivity, Lithoscanner and MDT output are all cross-ca…

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This is the VILT condensed version of the IPSCAL special core analysis with modern logs course.
This course does more than calibrate your density log with core
grain density and porosity. It starts with the conventional core
analysis laboratory procedures necessary to create the compatible
data sets required for proper special core analysis (SCAL)
integration. It then describes the SCAL procedures for static and
dynamic geo-models logically, in sequence, integrating SCAL results
with powerful, modern logs to show how key reservoir parameters are
better quantified with SCAL. NMR, Dielectric, Cross Dipole sonic,
3D resistivity, Lithoscanner and MDT output are all
cross-calibrated and welded into the fabric of a true, modern,
integrated petrophysical evaluation. These evaluations are robust,
overdetermined and grounded in routine and special core analysis.
Integration techniques are explained in terms of the question being
asked, the physical basis of the core-log data being used and the
steps necessary to quantitatively integrate the SCAL with logs and
geo-models.
Like the author’s other “Integrated Petrophysics” courses a logical, systematic structure is followed which enhances understanding of the where, why and how of modern core-log integration.
Lithology, porosity, saturation-height, absolute and relative
permeability, residual oil saturation, natural fractures, FWL, TOC
and mechanical properties for brittleness and fracturing are
addressed, with the relevant special core and log data identified,
explained and carefully integrated within a logical framework using
Interactive Petrophysics software.
This course explains how to perform comprehensive core-log
integration on legacy data and arms you with a clear understanding
of what is and what is not critical to acquire in your particular
Petrophysical Reservoir Type, saving time and money during
drilling, completion and development.
COURSE STRUCTURE:
- 3 modules of 4 hours each, delivered over 3 days
- Pre-course self-learning module
- Post-course self learning module incl. Q&A opportunity
Course Level: Skill
Instructor: Mark Deakin
DESIGNED FOR YOU, IF YOU ARE:
- A petrophysicist, reservoir engineer, core analyst, geologist or engineer who builds or uses static or dynamic reservoir models
- A professional with a year or more experience with core-log integration
HOW WE BUILD YOUR CONFIDENCE:
Core-Log integration has been the central topic of the author’s
Imperial College Ph.D. and over 25 years of consulting, reading and
lecturing on core-log integration. It is the central purpose of the
PetroDB-WEB software, which extends core-log integration to embrace
SCAL and modern logs.
This course will teach you how to use all your legacy conventional
and special core data with all your logs, old and new.
All ‘Integrated Petrophysics’ VILT courses have five components to
expand and maximise the course content delivery. Content is varied
and stimulating and includes short focused instructor videos;
course notes extracts; micro-practicals, cornerstone 4 hour daily
VILT sessions; before and after self-learning modules; Question
& Answer sessions; industry videos, exercises; comprehensive
Petrophysical Toolbox; Petro DB extracts; HPV sensitivities; How to
demos; Quizzes & Answers
1) Pre-course self-learning module (20%) with a 1-hour live Q&A
session before the main VILT
2) Cornerstone VILT: 4 hours of VILT lectures for 3 consecutive
days (60%)
- The first 15 minutes of EACH DAY: Recap and Questions session
- The first 5 minutes of EACH HOUR: Questions and feedback
3) Post-course self-learning module (20%) with a 1-hour live
Q&A session after one week
4) Instructor is available online for 1 hour extra at the end of
the main VILT session for questions & open discussion
5) Instructor is available to answer 1-on-1 emailed questions or
possible phone/skype calls for one week after the last VILT session
(during Post Self-Learning module)
Before and After Self-Learning Modules
These modules are an important extra component of the course:
- Pre is designed to focus and prepare you for the main VILT session
- Post allows you to practise and quiz yourselves and the instructor before closing out the course
