Course overview
The purpose of this theoretical and practical course is to introduce petrophysical and transport properties of rocks, methods of their determination in lab from cores and in oilfields from wireline logging. This course gives abilities to determine main rock properties in lab and practical understanding of the interpretation of wire line tools and techniques, open and cased-hole log analysis methods for the determination of lithology, porosity, fluid content and movement, and net pay. Both, qualitative (quick look) and quantitative analyses methods are covered. Practical examples are used throughout, and case histories are used to demonstrate specific aspects. Several laboratory works are performed for coring with determination of rock properties.
- Rock Properties And Measurment Techniques
- Physics Of Logging Tools And Data Interpretation
- Special Core Analysis
Course learning outcomes
- Measure Porosity and Permeability of rocks in the lab
- Interpret individual wire-line log data
- Interpret different wire-line log data by cross-plotting
- Calculate hydrocarbon-in-place based on formation evaluation interpretation
- Define the fundamentals of special core analysis such as capillary pressure and relative permeability
