ODT-108 INTRODUCTION TO PETROPHYSICS

This class provides an overview of Petrophysics. By the end of the course, the participants will be able to: Obtain a good understanding on porous rock basic properties, Know how mud logging equipment and electric logging tools work and their principles, Understand how core and log data becomes the Petrophysics’ holy grail, Identify lithology from open hole logs, calculate Volume of Shale using a simple method, Understand assumptions used in porosity and saturation calculations; Read, analyze and utilize core data, Perform a quick‐look petrophysical evaluation and calculate hydrocarbon volume in reservoirs (team workshop).
