COurse Well Logging and Formation Evaluation 101 Houston Marriott West Loop by The Galleria EUCI is authorized by IACET to offer 1.0 CEUs for the course. 1
Overview The Well Logging and Formation Evaluation 101 short course will remove some of the mystique surrounding well logging methods for identifying and quantifying hydrocarbon reserves for resource evaluation, asset review, development planning, and reserves reporting. Over the course of the day and a half, the instructor will cover a description of well logs and how they are used. He will discuss formation evaluation and why it s important. Rock and fluid measurements will be detailed. The importance of mud logging will be discussed. The class will address both lithology-sensitive measurements as well as porosity-sensitive measurements. Attendees will leave with an understanding of over-plots, cross-plots and nomographs - both what they are, and how they are used. Attendees will be able to describe formation water measurement, saturation measurement, and other useful measurements and their uses. The instructor will present a case study to help attendees visualize the concepts they learn during this course. He will discuss how to evaluate unconventional resources. Finally, attendees will learn about well calibration and quality control. Attendees should bring their own hand calculators (smart phone calculators should be sufficient), straight edges, rulers, and red, blue, green, brown, & black pencils. Who Should Attend Non-technical personnel who work with well logs or professionals who log, including: o Landman o support staff o Administrative o environmentalists o Legal o Analysts o Consultants o service & sales personnel Entry-level personnel in E&P Exploration and production (E&P) managers and directors; as well as managers of E&P service companies Learning Outcomes Describe formation evaluation Define well logs Describe petrophysicists and what is involved Identify the various uses of well logs Evaluate the historical developments of petrophysics and well logging Discuss laboratory measurements and why they are important Describe the various well logging environments and why they are important Describe well logging tools, common log suites and specialty measurements 2

INSTRUCTOR Donald G. Hill, Ph.D / Consulting Petrophysicist, Adjunct Professor / University of Southern California Dr. Hill is currently a consulting petrophysicist. He is also an adjunct professor of petrophysics in the Petroleum Engineering Program at the University of Southern California (USC). During the past 10 years, enrollment, in his USC Petrophysics course has grown from 7 to 75 students, including 25 50% distance learning students, currently working in the petroleum industry. He has numerous publications covering petroleum minerals and geothermal Exploration and production, as well as environmental characterization and remediation. Dr. Donald G. Hill has spent over 35 years experience implementing innovative petrophysical solutions to petroleum, geothermal, and mining exploration E&P projects, as well as well as environmental, water resource, and civil engineering projects. His projects have spanned 22 U.S. states, 3 Canadian provinces and 32 countries, exclusive of North America. His clients have included Breitburn Energy Company, LLP, Chesapeake Energy Corp., Chevron, Devon Energy Production Co., EOG Resources, Inc., Occidental Petroleum Corp., Shell, US Department of Energy, US Environmental Protection Agency, among many others. Dr. Hill attended Michigan State University (MSU) and The University of Minnesota, completing a Ph.D., at MSU, in geology, with an exploration geophysics option and a petrophysics dissertation problem. Instructional Methods Case studies, PowerPoint presentations and group discussion will be used in this program.
