Wireline Formation Testing and Interpretation

This course is designed for geologists, petrophysicists, wellsite supervisors, hydrodynamic specialists, reservoir engineers, geophysicists, and geodata interpretation technologists of multidisciplinary formation evaluation and development teams that are actively engaged in G&G operations for hydrocarbon discovery and reservoir management.

You will learn how to:Understand why wireline formation testing and sampling: technologies, applications, and limitationsAssemble wireline testing programs, tool configurationsConduct QC pressures and sampling in the wellsiteInterpret pressure gradient data for in-situ fluid densities, fluid contact levelsCompare multiple pressure gradient trends for reservoir connectivity/continuityPerform statistical analysis and quantify uncertainties of pressure gradient and hydrocarbon-water levels (HWC) at various confidence levelDesign and interpret pressure transient data for permeability
