Production Logging Interpretation & Analysis

Business Context

Production logs are playing an increasing role in modern reservoir management by providing the only means of identifying downhole fluid movements directly. This course will cover fluid flow in pipes (both single and multiphase flow), the theoretical bases of production logging techniques, production log interpretation, and operational considerations. Numerous field examples are used to illustrate the principles of production log interpretation.

Who Should Attend

Petroleum and drilling engineers and managers, reservoir engineers, production engineers/ technologists, petrophysicists, log analysts, and top/senior level management who are keen to find out more about Production Logging Tools.

What You Will Know After Attending 

Learning, methods and tools

This course teaches how to select the most appropriate production logging services for well diagnosis and reservoir surveillance, define injection well profiles using temperature, radioactive tracer, and spinner flowmeters, measure zonal inflows in production wells using temperature logs, locate behind-pipe channels with temperature, tracer, or noise logs, apply combinations of flowmeters, fluid density, and fluid capacitance logs to measure multiphase flow profiles, interpret cement bond logs and ultrasonic logs to determine cement quality, measure flow inside and outside casing with pulsed neutron tools and apply specialty tools for flow profiling in horizontal wells
