Basic Production Logging
This course teaches you the use and limitations of a variety of production logging tools including spinner, temperature, noise, fluid injections and others tools. You will learn what results these tools yield, the interpretation assumptions that are integral to their designs, and how quality is affected by the acquisition process. You will also learn the fundamentals of production log interpretation with hands-on examples and an in-class workshop on interpreting single and two phase flow using production logs. You will learn how production logs can be used for the measurement of 3 phase fluid flow.

- Standard production logging tools
- Various techniques of measuring fluid of oil, water, gas using spinners, oxygen activation, phase velocity logging and gas bubble velocity
Day 5
- Measurements of three phase holdups.
- Spinner calibrations to obtain fluid velocities and hence production rates.
