8th to 12th of May: Advanced Petrophysics in our Aberdeen offices, with Edward Downer as your instructor!
Participants will learn how to organisedata, plan and report petrophysical studies. The integration of log and core datasets to describe the variation and distribution of reservoir properties in multiple wells will also be covered
Options for petrophysical interpretation including mineral volume methodologies, shaly sand and thin bed techniques are examined. The principles of NMR logging and its application to specifc interpretation challenges will also be covered
1. Working together
for a safer world
Aims
Participants will learn how to organise
data, plan and report petrophysical
studies. The integration of log and core
datasets to describe the variation and
distribution of reservoir properties in
multiple wells will also be covered.
Advanced options for petrophysical
interpretation including mineral volume
methodologies, shaly sand and thin bed
techniques are examined. The principles
of NMR logging and its application to
specific interpretation challenges will
also be covered.
Benefits
You will learn:
• How petrophysical data is managed
and stored
• How to plan and report petrophysical
studies
• Computerised deterministic
interpretation workflows
• The crucial role of porosity in
interpretation
• Calibration of log porosity to core
data
• Derivation of saturation-height
functions from log or core data
• Derivation of core based log
permeability predictors
• How to recognise where advanced
interpretation methods are needed
• Shaly sand analysis
• Thin bed/ low resistivity pay
interpretation
• Use of log based facies/classification to
improve interpretations
• Probabilistic multi-mineral
interpretation
• Characteristics and interpretation of
NMR logs
Who should attend?
Petrophysicists and others involved in
the oil and gas subsurface management
life cycle, with experience in formation
evaluation or candidates who have
previously attended LR’s Deterministic
Petrophysics course, who wish to deepen
their practical knowledge and
understanding of advanced
petrophysical interpretation methods
and advanced logging tools.
Duration – 5 days
Course instructor
Ed is Discipline Head of Petrophysics at
Lloyds Register (LR) and holds a BEng
(Hons) Chemical Engineering from
Nottingham University and a MSc
Reservoir Evaluation and Management
from Heriot Watt University. He has a
broad background encompassing
operations, training, technology,
software and consultancy.
Following graduation from Nottingham
University in 1996, Ed joined Western
Atlas (now Baker Hughes) as a wireline
field engineer gaining operational
experience in the North Sea, US, West
Africa and the South Atlantic. On
leaving the field he spent 3 years as a
field engineer training instructor in
Scotland before moving to Baker
Hughes’ Technology Center in Houston
as a technology transfer engineer with a
focus on formation testing and
sampling.
