PetE 365
Well Logging and Formation Evaluation
Description
Theory and engineering applications of measurements of physical properties of the formation near the well bore; interpretation and use of the information in reservoir engineering.Prerequisite: PET E 275.
Learning Outcomes
Determine wellbore parameters such as size, temperature and electrical resistivity by using caliper and temperature logs and the information provided on log header.Identify permeable/non-permeable zones using Spontaneous Potential (SP) and/or Gama Ray (GR) logs
Evaluate shale content (i.e. volume fraction) of reservoir rocks using SP and/or GR logs
Determine type of lithology using cross-plots of neutron porosity, density porosity, and photoelectric factor.
Determine reservoir rock porosity using sonic, density and neutron log data
Identify presence of natural gas in the reservoir using neutron/density log cross-plots
Determine formation water saturation (Sw) using resistivity log data, available petrophysical data, and formation water resistivity from SP log.
Identify potential hydrocarbon producing zones using quick-look techniques and porosity/resistivity cross plots (i.e. Picket Cross-plot, Hingle cross-plot)
Estimate original and recoverable hydrocarbon volume by combined analysis of open-hole logs.
Design diagnostic and predictive tools to characterize unconventional formations using laboratory and log data.
Design the optimum perforation intervals for hydrocarbon production, considering economical production rate, water cut, and environmental impacts such as hydrocarbon leakage.
