WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Prospect generator geoscientists, geologists, geophysicists, drilling and reservoir engineers, well log analysts, managers, and support staff involved in exploration, development and drilling. This course is exceptionally helpful for explorationists that are keen on appraising prospects in house and farm in/out.
This course will demonstrate to participants how to use measured pressure data from wire-line tests (MDTs, RFTs etc.) and production tests (DST’s) to design pressure-depth plots which reveal permeability barriers (sealed), communications, and breached reservoir (seal failure).
It will also examine how seismic velocities and well logs’ petrophysical properties establish seal integrity via subsurface pressure drift. Moreover, participants will gain the fundamental knowledge of predicting pore-fracture pressure and estimate the drilling tolerance window (DTW) that leads to successful drilling prognosis of the trajectory bore-hole to the targeted reservoirs formation.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Analog and digital data (in excel format) will be utilized to assess and evaluate a prospect risk. Before drilling risk evaluation and post drilling appraisal methods will be clarified, as well as how to salvage a prospect that was tested by a dry hole wildcat.
Participants in this course should have minor knowledge of subsurface formation pressures.
REGISTRATION POLICY
Registration should be made at least one month before the start of a course. It is recommended that participants register early due to limited seating. However, we will accept paid registrations up to the last business day before the class, provided there are seats available. Registrants will receive a confirmation email within 48 hours of registration and will receive complete venue information two weeks prior to the first day of class.
REMINDER: your seat in a course is NOT confirmed until payment is received.
