Course objectives
After the course, students will be able to interpret petrophysical data from boreholes (logging) with a focus on oil and gas production or use in water management and environmental protection
Syllabus
1 Introduction Introduction to Petrophysics, basic concepts, practical application (bearing studies, operational Petrophysics), methods used. Market situation, future outlook (optimistic), application Czech expert at home and abroad. 2 Logging methods Types of logging methods - electric, nuclear, acoustic, special. 3 Sampling and testing of wells Removing cores and bearing fluids. Testing earmarked drilling intervals. 4 Laboratory analysis of drill cores Conventional measurement (ccala) and special analysis (SCAL) cores. 5 Interpretation petrophysical data Assembly and QC (quality control) data. Qualitative and quantitative interpretation. Devote bearings and contacts. Determination of parameters of rock collectors - the clay, porosity, saturation, permeability. Determination of effective bearing intervals. Familiarization with different techniques INTERPRETATION - conventional, function of water-saturation height (height saturation function), definition of collector units (rock typing) 6 Examples of real projects Work-flow of petrophysical project. Familiarization with the environment projects in the oil industry - multinational, multi-cultural teams, international scope of projects. Application and the role of independent consultant. Using advanced software applications.
