Wireline Formation Testing and Interpretation

Geoscientists, petrophysicists, wellsite supervisors, reservoir engineers, and geodata technologists of multidisciplinary formation evaluation and development teams engaging in explorations, appraisals, and field development activities.

•    Why formation testing and sampling
•    How FT tools work; measurement principles; test types; drawdown mobility; data quality QA/QC
•    Pressure fluid gradient and contact level interpretation principles
•    Graphical pressure interpretation techniques: scatter-plot for gradient, FWL, and compositional gradient; excess pressure plot for compartmentalization; normalization plot for depleted reservoir
•    Multiple well pressure trends for reservoir compartmentalization, continuity, and extent
•    Qualification and quantification of interpretation uncertainties
•    Mud filtration phenomena dynamics; dynamic gradient; supercharging; wettability/capillary effects
•    Optical property measurement of reservoir fluids and contamination control; sampling principles and fluid sample QA/QC procedures; in-situ fluid PVT analysis
•    Permeability test; mini-DST and VIT; practical aspects of well productivity and deliverability potential estimates
