Introduction to Sub-surface Formation Evaluation and Formation Testing & Fluid Sampling
Formation evaluation refers to the analysis of formation properties such as structure, lithology, porosity, fluid types, saturation and permeability, required to understand a reservoir response. Sub-surface evaluation commonly uses Wireline Logging and Logging While Drilling methods, for downhole data acquisition, reconciled with laboratory core analysis. This short course provides an introduction to sub-surface Formation Evaluation (FE) and Formation Testing & Fluid Sampling (FTS). The attendees will learn about:
- Fundamental concepts of Formation Evaluation
- Basic rock properties important to formation evaluation
- Common LWD and Wireline well logging measurements, physics and applications to FE
- How to read basic well logs
- Derivation of quick-look porosity, shale volume, water saturation
- Basics of pressure testing & technologies
- Issues in pressure testing
- Permeability and gradient analyses
- Downhole Fluid characterization and Sampling technologies
- MiniDST, Vertical Interference test for reservoir characterizations
- MicroFrac applications
Who should attend: Oil industry professionals, in any role, who want to develop a quick understanding of sub-surface formations evaluation and testing concepts & methods. Geoscientists starting career in oil industry, engineers and oil-industry people in non-technical roles.
