About this course:
This is a somewhat advanced version of the Basic well log Interpretation course which Mr. Nutt has successfully taught for many years. It is designed as an intermediate level course which can be taken the week following Introduction to Log Analysis, or it can be taken at a later date when the participant has had more experience in working with and understanding logs. The instructor uses clear and easy-to-understand Power-Point slides and loads of practical examples, livened with entertaining anecdotes from a lifetime's experience in the oil-patch. This is not a sales pitch for the logging industry. On the contrary, it provides real insight into the limitations as well as the strengths of the tools we use to evaluate and characterize our reservoirs.
Course Content:
What you will learn...
Which tools to use to evaluate your reservoir, and what their limitations are. When you can use core data to calibrate your logs - and when you can't. How filtrate migration affects the tool responses, and what this can tell you about reservoir permeability. How the tool responses change in horizontal wells, and how they are affected by adjacent beds. The assumptions made in computerized evaluations, and how the results can be misleading.
