Reading the Rocks From Wireline Logs

March 21

Instructor - John Doveton

This one-day course on geological log interpretation complements the PTTC Log Analysis Crash Course offered in February. The workshop is designed for petroleum geologists, petroleum engineers and others who want to learn how to recognize rock types from wireline logs both for more comprehensive formation evaluation in wildcats and detailed reservoir characterization in field wells.

The workshop topics are: Overview of logging tool fundamentals and the geological properties recorded on wireline logs; applications of gamma-ray and spectral gamma-ray logs to shale-typing, and interpretations of depositional environment and diagenesis; analysis of dipmeters and review of imaging logs; lithology discrimination on overlays of neutron and density logs; mineral-typing using the photoelectric factor curve; mineral compositions from multiple log crossplots; hands-on experience of log interpretation of a complex carbonate section; theory and practice of a freeware spreadsheet program for compositional analysis from logs; demonstration of ways to access Kansas log information both in locating paper log records and downloading digital logs for analysis.

The workshop will be illustrated by numerous log examples from all parts of Kansas, ranging in age from the Precambrian to the Tertiary. This course offers 6 hours of Professional Education credits.
