N455 Cased Hole Services and Applications
N455 Cased Hole Services and Applications
The course covers the range of cased hole services available to assist in maximising production and well integrity. Topics covered include formation evaluation behind casing including pulsed neutron tools; production logging in single phase, multi-phase and horizontal wells; cement bond logging; perforation design and optimisation and corrosion measurement and prediction.
A two-day classroom course that uses a combination of lectures and self-contained exercises. Where appropriate the client’s own data can be incorporated into case studies or exercises.
Participants will learn to:
The course is intended to address the needs of multi-disciplinary teams in planning the acquisition of cased hole logging data to evaluate existing wells in the context of planned well interventions. It is also intended to give participants the basic knowledge required to evaluate historical data that may be available so that it can be incorporated in well reviews. Improved understanding of the services available and their applications can lead to greater efficiency in data acquisition campaigns and ultimately maintaining or improving production.
Day 1
Introduction
Formation Evaluation Through Casing
Cement Bond Logging
Day 2
Perforation
Casing Integrity
Production Logging
The course best suits engineering and operations personnel who are involved in cased hole logging campaigns. The course aims to provide an understanding of the range of cased hole services available and their application to formation evaluation and production optimisation.
There are no formal prerequisites for the class, however a basic awareness of well logging tools and techniques and petrophysics is assumed.
