Instructor

Roger L. Nutt

Course Level: Intermediate to Advanced

Based on the highly successful Reservoir Monitoring and Production Log Interpretation course which Roger Nutt taught for many years, this course has been modified to reduce the time spent on Cement Bond and Casing Corrosion Logs and their interpretation, to give additional time for interpreting production and reservoir monitoring logs, designing the logging program, engineering the surveys, and interpreting the results. However, for completeness, the manual sections on cement bond and corrosion surveys have been left intact. The more you already know about cased-hole logs, the more you can expect to learn about understanding what your logs are telling about the behaviour of the well and the surrounding reservoir. You will learn by solving for yourself a host of real, practical and down-to-earth problems from a wide variety of wells and situations.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
How to integrate all the broad and subtle indications which your production and reservoir monitoring logs give you, and understand what is happening inside your well and its environment. How to be sure where the different fluids which enter the casing are really coming from... and where your injection gas or water is going. How much of the apparent behaviour of your well is caused by the reservoir as a whole - and how much is a result of unseen local disruptions to the flow pattern caused by the well and its surroundings. Perhaps most important of all: How much oil and gas are you leaving behind in the reservoir?

OUTLINE

What data is needed for production logging and reservoir monitoring, and how to set up and maintain the database

Why fluid migration through the casing-formation annulus is so common

Causes of casing damage and leaks

Production logging tools and principles

Flowmeters - how they work, what they measure

How apparent flow can be affected by the kind of perforation gun you use

How to recognise vertical flow

Bubble counter techniques

Temperature tools, and how to use them to identify flow behind the casing

Gradiomanometer and fluid density tools and their application

Water Hold-up meters

Calipers

What the presence of NORM means, and how to use gamma-ray and spectral gamma-ray to identify it

How production logging tools are affected by deviation

Mono and Multi-phase flow analysis

Porosity and water saturation determination through casing

TDT, Principle and uses, qualitative and quantitative

C/O, Gamma Spectroscopy logging

Time lapse monitoring of gas-oil and oil-water contacts and water saturation

Identifying by-passed oil and gas

Identifying the presence and speed of water flow behind the casing

Problems with horizontal wells - and how to solve them

How to select the right tools and engineer the cased-hole logging program

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Petroleum engineering and drilling managers; petroleum, reservoir, drilling, production and wireline service company engineers; petrophysicists and log analysts; technicians; and anyone who needs to understand what production logs and cased-hole surveys can tell us about how the well and adjacent reservoir are behaving.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
The course was excellent, I personally learned a lot and the instructor is very knowledgeable and experienced.
