Training Deterministic Petrophysics

This 4-day course on deterministic petrophysics aims to teach reservoir engineers, geoscientists, and petrophysicists how to integrate available data and properly interpret petrophysical parameters through lectures, demonstrations, and exercises. The course covers topics such as log quality assurance, lithology recognition, porosity and permeability calculations, fluid contact determination, and formation evaluation methods for both sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. It emphasizes best practices for data preparation, interpretation, and reporting to optimize subsurface management activities. The course instructor, Graham Webber, has over 30 years of experience in petrophysics for operating companies and consultancies.

Deterministic petrophysics
Aims
Petrophysics is fundamental to understanding
the properties of oil and gas fields. It lies at
the centre of all subsurface activities; whether
in the context of open-hole operations on new
drill wells, cased-hole operations on producing
wells or in integrated team building reservoir
models for asset evaluation, field development
or reservoir management.

In this course emphasis will be placed on the


integration of all available data, understanding
the context in which the data are acquired
and selection of appropriate methods and
parameters. Common pitfalls encountered in the
interpretation process, and their consequences,
will be identified. Interpretation exercises are an
important element of the course.

Benefits
You will learn:
• the role of petrophysics
• definitions of the main
petrophysical parameters
• capillarity, fluid distribution, free
water level and fluid contacts
• logging tool measurement principles and
the effect of the borehole environment
• log data quality assurance
• quick-look log interpretation
• data preparation, database construction
and environmental corrections
• deterministic petrophysical interpretation
in clean and shaly sands
• deterministic interpretation in carbonates
• reporting and delivering results
to other disciplines
