Session ONE - PRACTICAL QUANTITATIVE LOG ANALYSIS
Course Outline and Instruction Materials c. 1978 - 2008 E. R. (Ross) Crain, P.Eng.

Integrated Courseware Connecting Logs, Cores, Tests, Productivity, Cash Flow, and Seismic Petrophysics - Since 1973

This course is given in Calgary every April and September. Cost is CDN$1500.00 + GST.
Next Open Sessions are
08 - 10 April 2008 and 14 - 16 Oct  2008 email us to register.

Students in this class will have some experience with logs, but need a clearly defined, step-by-step procedure to enhance their job skills. This seminar is supported by "Crain's Petrophysical PocketPal" (160 pages) reference manual and exercises, a high quality PowerPoint presentation, and 3 days of instruction.

DESIGNED FOR: Anyone who works with logs, or who wants to do more with their logs, or who works with other people who use logs:

  • Exploration and Production Geologists
  • Reservoir and Development Engineers
  • Log Data Processors and Analysts
  • Exploration Geophysicists and Data Processors
  • Geological, Geophysical, or Engineering Technologists
  • Managers and Entrepreneurs
  • Service Company and Consulting Personnel

SUMMARY: This quantitative course covers all topics needed to calculate shale volume, porosity, water saturation, permeability, volumetric reserves, flow capacity, and cash flow from modern open hole well logs. Integration and calibration to cores, tests, and production data are stressed.

DURATION: 3 days - 24 Professional Development Hours (PDH)

BENEFITS:
  • provides understanding of the rock/fluid model for log analysis
  • provides step-by-step procedures for log analysis
  • provides "computer ready" mathematics
  • gives insight into rock quality versus well performance
  • provides worked examples for further study
  • permanent reference material
  • answer oriented results, with quality control guidelines
  • client specific examples can be added
  • provides meaningful comparison of net pay, porosity, water saturation, permeability, pore volume (PV), hydrocarbon pore volume (HPV), and flow capacity (KH)
  • shows how to calibrate log analysis to ground truth (core, test, etc)
