DE0146 : Fundamentals of Formation Evaluation

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.  

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Fundamentals of Formation Evaluation. It covers the formation evaluation and its significance in the oil and gas industry; the key formation evaluation parameters, roles and responsibilities of formation evaluation professionals and different formation evaluation methods; the well logging techniques and its applications; the types of well logs, interpreting well logs and integrating well logs for formation evaluation; and the advanced well logging techniques, core sampling techniques, core analysis methods and integrating core analysis data with well log data. 

Further, the course will also discuss the petrophysics and its role in formation evaluation; the petrophysical properties, petrophysical analysis techniques and interpretation and estimate rock properties from well logs and core data; the formation evaluation challenges in unconventional reservoirs and specialized well logging and analysis techniques; and the reservoir characterization and resource estimation in unconventional reservoirs. 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the reservoir fluid analysis, fluid sampling techniques and incorporating reservoir fluid data into formation evaluation; the formation pressure evaluation, pressure measurement techniques, analysis and interpretation of formation pressure data; the well testing techniques and well testing data analysis; the interpretation and integration of well testing and production data for formation evaluation; the reservoir characterization and integrating all formation evaluation data for reservoir characterization; and the reservoir modelling and simulation, uncertainty analysis and risk assessment in formation evaluation.
