This hand consultant within the Gulf Drilling courses sequence deals functional ideas which are important to petrophysicists and engineers of their day by day jobs. in line with the author's a long time of expertise operating in oil businesses world wide, this advisor is a entire choice of concepts and ideas of thumb that work.The basic features of the drilling or petroleum engineer are to make sure that the perfect operational judgements are made through the process drilling and trying out a good, from information accumulating, of entirety and trying out, and thereafter to supply the required parameters to permit a correct static and dynamic version of the reservoir to be built. This consultant provides those, and plenty of different, solutions to their daily difficulties. There are chapters on NMR logging, middle research, sampling, and interpretation of the information to provide the engineer a whole photograph of the formation. there is not any different unmarried consultant like this, masking all points of good logging and formation evaluate, thoroughly up-to-date with the newest concepts and functions. · A necessary reference committed completely to good logging and formation evaluation.· finished assurance of the most recent applied sciences and practices, together with, troubleshooting for caught pipe, operational judgements, and logging contracts.· choked with money-saving and time saving options for the engineer operating within the box.

For a gas-only reservoir, the pressure will rise above the GWC on a trend corresponding to a gas gradient (but intersecting the waterline at the FWL). Note that the above considerations have nothing to do with the “transition zone” that relates to the interval between the OWC or GWC and the point at which hydrocarbon values start to approach “irreducible” values. This will be discussed in Chapter 4. In poor-quality rocks, the effect of entry height can be appreciable (up to tens of meters). It may have the effect of causing the OWC/GWC to vary in depth across the field if the reservoir quality is changing.

In n measurements, the plugs will have been flushed with brine, then desaturated (either with air or kerosene) to yield measurements of true resistivity, Rt, vs Sw. By plotting the logarithm of the resistivity index, given by log(I) = log(Rt /Ro), against log(Sw), according to Archie: log( I ) = - n * log( Sw ). 2) Therefore, the gradient of the line gives n. Note that the higher the n value used, the higher the Sw that will be calculated, and vica versa. 5) may be indicative of a mixed or oil-wet system and require further investigation.

The error introduced when two such random devices are compared is much higher than when one such device is used on its own. 2. The neutron is severely influenced by the amount of chlorine atoms in the formation, occurring either in the formation water or in the clay minerals. ). 3. The neutron is also affected in an unpredictable way by gas (unlike the density, for which a correction can be made using the appropriate rhof). 4. I have never had much faith in the overlays presented on standard neutron/density crossplots by the contractors.
