Courses

This course will be suitable for all geoscientists and engineers

• Geology of Carbonates and Clastics
• Core analysis to obtain porosity, and permeability
• Shale Analysis: Elemental Capture Spectroscopy to give evaluations of lithology and shale volume, evaluation of dispersed and laminated shales, definition and measurement of the Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC)
• Thin Beds (TB) and Low resistivity pay (LRP) zones: This is an outline of the various techniques to evaluate TB and LRP reservoirs including borehole imaging, NMR and Rt Scanner
• Log Interpretations in Clastics: This covers the various shaly-sand equations both the empirical versions (e.g. Indonesia, Nigeria, etc..) and the excess conductivity equations (e.g. Waxman-Smits, Dual Water, etc..)
• Permeability estimations in clastics reservoirs
• Geology and Petrophysics of Basement Rock
• Log Interpretations in Carbonates that covers the following: 
  • Variable-m and the Formation Factor
  • Wettability and variable-n from logs
  • Effect of Vugs and fractures
  • Macro and Microporosity
  • Permeability estimations in Carbonates
• Pore Geometry and Flow Units covering:
  • Capillary Pressure Measurements and capillary pressure obtained from NMR
  • J-Factor applications
  • Flow Units applying modified Lorenz principle
  • Petro-Rock Typing

Workshops: 1-2 hours daily of workshop examples
