Petrophysics Training is a specialized area of exploration and production (EP) and requires a wide range of knowledge to properly conduct a well-site investigation. Petrophysics training teaches petroleum engineers how to effectively evaluate the properties of an oil or gas reservoir. This includes the ability to determine porosity, saturation and other fluid types and determine the main lithologies and properties of a formation.
Petrophysical interpretation training focuses on the best practices of static modeling and static petrophysical analysis workflows. It also shows how to review geo-model inputs quickly and efficiently. The course has been developed in conjunction with industry best practice. There is emphasis on integrating data in a logical manner and optimizing the interpretation of permeability and porosity.
Ross Crain is the author and instructor of several petrophysics courses, and his online video training is available as individual or group packages. His training products are multi-media packages with interactive and narrated slideshows and include free access to META/LOGTM spreadsheet software.
Basic Petrophysics Training is a multi-day course designed for petroleum engineers. It provides a systematic process for managing complex reservoirs. A logical approach optimizes the interpretation of porosity, permeability and saturation. Integrated data sets are presented and field examples are used. In addition, the course emphasizes the benefits of using properties.
After completing the basic course, participants should be able to estimate porosity, saturation and liquids. They should be able to interpret borehole images and dip meter data. These skills are essential for a petrophysicist's work.
The Basic Petrophysics Training bundle contains 13 of Ross Crain's courses. Each of these courses is focused on a specific aspect of the evaluation of a reservoir. For example, the first module focuses on surface equipment and the wellbore environment. Subsequent modules cover shale volume, water saturation and total porosity.
In addition, a petrophysical well logging course is also offered. During this course, a series of simulated shale boreholes is drilled into the ore body and the properties of the formation are evaluated. Well logging is a comprehensive characterization of the formation. Among other features, the shale well logging package outlines methods to determine the density and gamma ray properties of shale.
PETROPHYSICS Pty Ltd's petrophysics training classes are conducted in a classroom setting or in a remote location. Each class is comprised of carefully sequenced Pre and Post modules, narrated video shows, reference manuals, and micro-practicals. All the material is presented in a concise and streamlined format. LAS files, depth plot images, and narrated video shows are all included in the Petrophysics Training materials.
