Overview
Public face to face and online courses 3 days. In-house courses may be amalgamated with other courses and delivered as 3 to 5 day courses however this should be done with caution.
This course walks you through how to perform a Quick Look Log Analysis integrated with common non-log and special log data. The process is easy to understand and performed real-time on IP following established petrophysical principles but within an operations ‘quick look’ setting. The quick look evaluation is demonstrated step by step with the addition of the author’s multi-disciplinary techniques which cross check and verify each step to flag and arrest the propagation of error. This provides for robust, fact-based decisions during operations. Log analysis field studies can also be quickly and efficiently checked by these simple techniques.
Tools are introduced as they arise in quick look to emphasise their contribution to the logical flow of information. The diversity of inputs used affords a degree of confidence simply not possible with conventional quick look log analysis moving you into an environment of certainty, confidence and leadership which benefits everyone downstream of the drill bit.
Turns your quick look Log Analysis into Evidence Based Petrophysics
Course Level: Foundation
Who Should Attend?
Operations Geologists, Petrophysicists, Wellsite Geologists, Experienced Log Analysts, Users of petrophysical results, Geo-modellers, Exploration Managers, Team Leaders. Anyone who could benefit from being aware of the numerous quick, easy but never used techniques that transform quick look log analysis into robust, hard edged results.
Bring your laptop with MS Excel.
Course Outline
- To do Quick Log Analysis quickly and efficiently with far greater accuracy and far greater confidence than before
- To do your own Quick Look Analysis on your own laptop and save the entire process as a working tliplate
- To quickly understand the essential operating principles, outputs and role of all conventional and special logging tools, their benefits and pitfalls, without getting bogged down in tool theory or irrelevant details
- To quickly identify porosity, saturation, netpay, fluid contacts, permeability, and test intervals in a rapid, easy to understand workflow and become familiar with their typical log patterns
- To recognise your Reservoir Type and what you must do differently for each during operations
- To understand why and when to run ‘special logs’ including Image logs, NMR, Array sonics, Dielectric, Rotary sidewall cores and MDTs
- To avoid wasting time on secondary issues and to keep your mind focused on the results which really matter
- To acquire the key data that moves the bottom line and to cancel the data that does not. This means making correct decisions real time which is only possible if your quick look is robust. After this course your Quick Look will be robust!
- To use PetroDB, other wells and special logs quantitatively during quick look to firm up your decisions
- To verify your geo-models and field development log analysis with simple, efficient techniques
- To present your results confidently and with conviction because you know that, unlike other evaluations, yours have been properly cross checked against hard data using the established principles set out in this course.
Instructor
Mark Deakin is a technical consultant, author and course instructor in Petrophysical Data Integration. He holds a Ph.D. in ‘Integrated Petrophysics’ from London’s Imperial College, is an ex Amoco petrophysicist and has over 35 years’ experience including as a course instructor with PetroSkills and HOT Engineering. He has performed over 70 detailed reservoir studies worldwide; primarily in Southeast Asia’s low-contrast pay and carbonate reservoirs. Deakin’s proven approach is to identify and rank reserves uncertainties for operators and investors, then guide operators towards defensible booked reserves via the application of new technology, targeted data acquisition and the systematic, logical integration of all related data. After his PhD Deakin authored the first public Integrated Petrophysics course in 1989 which evolved into IPRC, the industry’s benchmark petrophysics training course. This was followed by courses on Carbonate & Fracture Petrophysics IPCFR and focused modules on Quick Look Techniques IPQL, Using Modern Logs with SCAL IPSCAL, Low Resistivity Pay IPLAM, Saturation Height IPSWHT, Using PetroDB Effectively IPPetroDB and Renewable Energy REP.
Deakin’s core interest is the integration of diverse technologies to solve problems. Integration of the uniquely powerful PetroDB, cross-linked core-log-test database, with mainstream software is his current project. Deakin is an active member of SPWLA and occasional lecturer at Edit Cowan & Curtin University. His consulting company PETROPHYSICS Pty Ltd has offices in Perth, Australia and he has homes in Perth and London.
