Routine and Special Core Analysis
Routine Core Analysis
Description: This course/training aims to disseminate information to help understand what we do in a Routine Core Analysis Laboratory, how the data is generated and how to interpret the results. However, more importantly, it will help you understand why core analysis should be used, how it can help you, how to compile a meaningful and representative study, including obtaining representative cores in the field and how to stay within budget and time constraints.
Topics Covered: Coring, Mud Systems, Wellsite Core Handling, Core Gamma, Saturations and Sample Preparation. Laboratory Analysis, Photography and Value & Uncertainty.
Special Core Analysis
Description: This course/training aims to disseminate information to help understand what we do in a Special Core Analysis Laboratory, how the data is generated and how to interpret the results. More importantly, it will help you understand why Special Core analysis should be used, how it can help you, how to compile a meaningful and representative study, and how to stay within budget and time constraints.
Topics Covered: SCA Study Planning, SCA Sampling, SCA Sample Preparation, SCA Sample Selection, Pre-Study Analysis, Petrological Evaluation of Clays and other rock forming minerals, Capillary Pressure, Electrical Resistivity, Wettability, Relative Permeability, Core Flooding, Rock Mechanics and NMR.
Audiences: Exploration Geo Scientists, Geomodeller, Petrophysicist, Petroleum Engineers, Reservoir Engineers, Production Engineers and Technical field personnel.
Geosciences
Description: Primary objective of the course is to broaden the geological geological knowledge, explain selected geological principles and processes, petroleum reservoir and source rocks descriptions and their modes of occurrence and formation. The course is designed in such a way that it will brush up the knowledge of the attendees along with practical implications of the geological knowledge. The presentations are mostly keeping in mind the interest to the petroleum industry. This workshop provides the theory, methods, and active practice for participants to develop and optimize the basin evaluation knowledge and modeling modus operandi using selected historical data sets from prominent basins and case studies. The course also highlights practical problems and substantial team discussions of case histories, document new findings from throughout the world utilizing geologic, geophysical, core and geochemical data sets and finding analogues of basin settings from around the world.
Topics Covered: Basic Geoscience, Petroleum Systems, Depositional Systems, Pore Systems, Unconventional Reservoirs, Geology from scratch to productions, critical reservoir parameters, Reservoir Types, Seals and Traps, Mud Logging, Coring and Core Analysis, Reservoir Characterization, Case Histories.
Audiences: Exploration Geo Scientists, Geomodeller, Petrophysicist, Petroleum Engineers, Reservoir Engineers.
Petroleum Geology and Basic Log Analysis
Description: The course petroleum geology and basic log analysis provides the overview of petroleum geology and its different dimensions including various rock types, occurrence and abundance. The course also provides brief overview of deposition and diagenesis of sediments and their influence in the formation of a good source rock.
Key properties in evaluation of petroleum reservoir are volume of shale, porosity, water saturation and permeability. Evaluations of these key properties are done by data acquired by well logging.
Well logging is the practice of making a detailed record of the geologic formations penetrated. Well logs are physical measurements made by instruments lowered into the hole. Tools recording down whole data can be run either with drilling assembly (LWD) or via wire line. These tools can be electric, nuclear or acoustic based on data acquisition requirements. Mud logs may also be acquired based on visual inspection of samples brought to the surface. The integration of all data across various disciplines helps oil and gas companies in evaluation of formation and reservoir.
Topics Covered: Overview of Petroleum Geology, Petroleum Systems, Fundamentals of well logging and calculations of reservoir properties.
Audiences: This course is designed for Petroleum Engineering and Geosciences disciplines. It will act as a foundation for their technical and practical knowledge about formation evaluation methods used in oil and gas industry.
Formation Evaluation & Reservoir Characterisation
Description: Integrated formation evaluation is the advance form of petrophysics where data integration plays the major role. Core data is ground truth in the industry. Though this is not the fact, only properly “quality checked (QCed)” core data can be treated as ground truth. Core data “quality check” (QC) starts from acquisition and planning stage. Similarly, Log data QC plays an important role in formation Evaluation.
The course will glide the attendees through basic steps to QC the data to advance full field petrophysical interpretation. There will be discussions on effective and total porosity and factors to consider for choosing them for reservoir modelling considering the product (3D-Dynamic model). We will also discuss how initial water saturation should be modeled through capillary pressure data and what could be the uncertainties in the petrophysical model.
Topics Covered: Introduction, Log analysis based on standard Logs, Electrofacies Vs Rocktyping, Concept of Capillary Pressure, Petrophysics in 3D Geo-Model.
Audiences: Exploration Geo Scientists, Geomodeller, Petrophysicist, Petroleum Engineers, Reservoir Engineers, Production Engineers and Technical field personnel.
Biostratigraphy
Description: The training is aimed at providing advanced training by domain specialist to the practicing biostratigraphers and geoscientists. The course will introduce fundamentals of Biostratigraphy, Stratigraphy Concepts, Definitions, its utilization in the field of exploration and regional correlation. Brief introduction to Sedimentary rocks: component, classification and sedimentation patterns and its application in Biostratigraphic analysis.
Topics Covered: Introduction, Fossil Groups, Biostratigraphic Studies as part of Exploration, Biostratigraphic Techniques and Geological Age Markers, Sequence Biostratigraphy, High Resolution Biostratigraphy.
Audiences: The course work is best for practicing Geoscientists, Reservoir Engineers and Petrophysicists.
