Who Should Attend? Print pdf
Petrophysicists, all geologists, reservoir engineers, geophysicists, core analysts or anyone with a year’s experience with logs or formation evaluation. You will learn:
- the essential nature of petrophysics: it’s objectives, data and uncertainties
- how to get the best possible answers from any given data set
- to perform Quick Look Log Analysis and Essential Core-Log Integration with the authors Excel spreadsheets
- to review petrophysical studies effectively and to quickly identify flawed results using a clear sequence of logical checks
- to identify and extract the key data channels from modern hi-tech logs which, when integrated with core, logs and well-tests, will answer the questions your team is asking (Author speciality)
- to understand and use what really matters from the increasingly complex barrage of modern petrophysical data
- to drill, core, log and test for clear formation evaluation results
- to avoid the 10 most common errors which ruin petrophysical results
About the Course IPRC slide example Testimonials
This course will teach you how to evaluate reservoirs and quickly identify flawed results. Robust reserves and simulation are achieved by the logical, systematic integration of all relevant data. A quality interpretation is extremely cost-effective compared with data acquisition or development mistakes and essential with today’s complex reservoirs and data sets. Integration will often replace the need to run expensive, irrelevant logs, explain apparent data conflicts and provide the correct answer faster, strengthening your position as an operator. By contrast, stand-alone log analysis often results in wrong decisions and weakens your technical position in the eyes of your partners. This course, evolved over 20 years of petrophysical consulting and lectures, demonstrates how robust answers are achieved by the logical integration of diverse data. Basic economics are addressed first by Quick Look Log Analysis and then by a disciplined, logical process to optimize the interpretation of Porosity, Saturation, Permeability and Fluid Contacts - the basis of Reserves. Low-Contrast-Low-Resistivity pay, clastics and carbonates are evaluated by straight forward integration techniques which outperform log analysis with direct, plain to see results. LWD, wireline, NMR, image logs, routine, special core and MDTs are pieced together to clarify Sw and permeability, improve reservoir simulation and typically increase booked reserves. The basic “rock physics” work flow to project results into geo‑models is then reviewed.
This course is a condensed package of powerful integration techniques, using an interleaved sequence of lectures, micro-practicals, Interactive Petrophysics & Geolog demos, movies and workshops to convey a flexible and very powerful petrophysical methodology. It's manual provides a comprehensive and lasting benefit to the novice and experienced student alike. Integrated Petrophysics.. was the first public petrophysics integration course (Jan1990) and remains

The Instructor CV
Dr Mark Deakin is a consultant, author and tutor in Petrophysical Data Integration. He holds a Ph.D. in 'Integrated Petrophysics' from London's Imperial College, is an ex Amoco petrophysicist, and has 25 years experience, including 12 as a lecturer and Director of his consulting company, Petrophysics Pty Ltd. He has performed over 50 detailed reservoir studies, primarily in Southeast Asia's difficult carbonate and stacked 'low-contrast-pay' reservoirs, keeping abreast of new technologies by technical reading, operations work and lecturing. Deakin's approach is simple, first identifying and ranking reserves uncertainties then guiding the company towards maximum booked reserves via the systematic integration of targeted "data proofs". After his PhD Deakin authored the first public "Integrated Petrophysics" course which has evolved over 20 years to become the industry benchmark course for mainstream petrophysics. Recently Deakin developed “Carbonates & Fracture Petrophysics - A Roadmap” and the PetroDB cross-linked database to promote the efficient development of complex reservoirs. Deakin is a member of SPWLA and has offices in Perth, Australia.
