Course Description and Outline
This 8-hour course will give both geoscientists and engineers:
Session Seven: Sonic Logs
Measurement theory, monopole, dipole, ultrasonic
Applications for verifying cement integrity
Sonic porosity, how does it fit in with the litho-porosity models
Dipole and cross dipole, rock mechanics, anisotropy and external stress and strength fields
Session Eight: Unconventional Reservoirs, Lessons learned in the vertical wells
A different optimization paradigm in Unconventional Plays
Rock Mechanics and the external stress fields (current and ancient) from sonic and imager data
Geochemistry techniques for TOC, Applying Passey Log Delta R and other models
Direct Geochemistry from pulsed-neutron spectroscopy
Data available in the lateral
Session Nine: Break-out, Surveying the lateral and geo-steering
In this break-out the participants receive a horizontal well survey plot (paper or digital) with a vertical well near the heel and a vertical well near the toe from the “Wolf Bone” play in the Delaware basin. After correlating the vertical wells what is the analysis of the geo-steering targets?
Lunch Break
Session Ten: introduction to NMR logs
Session Eleven: Introduction to Formation Testers and Capillary pressure discussion
Session Twelve: Small scale applications of Artificial Intelligence in log analysis
Normalization and harmonization of well data sets: GR normalization example
Emulation of missing data: mapping Cased-hole analysis example
Automated classification of rock sequences for
pruning of training data,
sand thickness and bed counts,
time-to-depth for seismic.
Wrap-up discussion for the day two.
Summary
The aim of the short course is to create a learning environment that can educate the novice and challenge the experts. There will be several in-class exercises and break-out discussions to get hands-on experiences. Course materials will be available to work on paper or digital files to process on the computer, participants that use a petrophysics platform are encouraged to bring a Laptop. Other course materials provided will be a list of references and a 3-month license of Hydrocarbon Data Systems Petrophysical platform HDS-LOG.
