Petrophysics for Drilling Engineers

Introduction:

Petrophysics is a key discipline in petroleum exploration and production. This course covers wireline logging, MWD-LWD and their specific applications for wellbore stability. This course will be suitable for all drilling engineers, directional drillers and other geoscientists associated with drilling. The main objectives of this course are to understand:

  • The petrophysical properties and corresponding logging methods
  • The fundamentals of log interpretation and formation evaluation
  • The link between Petrophysics and seismic reservoir characterization tools

Course Objectives:

By the end of this course delegates will learn about:

  • The importance of Petrophysics in the workflow of reservoir evaluation and characterization
  • The physical reservoir properties (porosity, saturation, fluids, permeability) required for clastics and carbonate rock evaluation
  • The physical background of well logging methods and the response with respect to reservoir characterization
  • Understand fundamental techniques of log interpretation, learn a quick-look interpretation

Who Should Attend?
