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.
