Petrophysics and Well Log interpretation

1. Rock properties
General introduction on rock properties: permeability, porosity, density.
The distribution of porosity and permeability in sedimentary rocks
Factors influenced porosity and permeability: grain-size, grain shape, texture and fractures
Early and burial diagenesis products and their influence on porosity and permeability (compaction).
Basic concepts of petrophysics and interaction rock-fluids: fracture and matrix relations
2. Production geology – Pressure System
Basic definitions
Pore pressure and pressure regime
Origin and quality control of pressure data – Pressure evaluation
Origins of sub-normal pressure
Origins of abnormal Pressure
Pressure-temperature relationships
3. Rock properties measurements
Core vs. Log (scaling effects, overburden)
Vertical depth deviation (calculation of well deviation)
Wireline (open hole, cased hole)
while-drilling
Measurements of rock properties:
Rock evaluation (Well logging)
Lithological tools (caliper, gamma ray, potential SP, .... )
Porosity tools (density, neutron, sonic)
Resistivity tools (saturation: induction, galvanic)
Pressure measurements (fluid contacts OWC, permeability)
Calculation Methodology:
Volume shale calculation
Porosity
Water saturation (Archie)
Measurements of fluid/gas properties:
well test, pressure test, production monitoring
4. Fault and fracture analysis
Correlation and layering, faults, vertical and horizontal compartmentalization
Fault sealing analysis (FSA)
Fracture characterization
Fracture and fluid flow
