Workshop #1
Special
AAPG Short Course on Well Log Analysis
This workshop is now completely
FILLED and SOLD OUT as of 8/30/05!
Date: Saturday and Sunday, September
17-18, 2005
Location: Waterfront A&B
Cost: $100.00 payable directly to
AAPG, not with the ESAAPG meeting registration fees.
Limit: 32 persons
Note: Anyone interested in taking this
course must register directly with the AAPG Education Department
in Tulsa.
Who Should Attend: Geologists, engineers,
geophysicists and other professionals with a need to understand
the responses of common logging measurements to subsurface conditions
and become familiar with basic open hole well log interpretation
techniques.
About the Course: This course will
offer a "hands-on" approach to open hole well log analysis and
interpretation while focusing on the traditional interpretation
targets of lithology, porosity and fluid saturation. A variety
of interpretation techniques will be introduced, including computational
to visual (pattern recognition), and the use of some older techniques
in the context of the availability of newer, more extensive, data.
The course will address logging measurements which are grouped
by their interpretation goals, rather than by their measurement
physics. The common measurements will be described in sufficient
detail for an understanding of their response to subsurface conditions
(borehole and formation). Exercises using data from a variety
of locations and environments will reinforce the covered interpretation
techniques. Both algorithmic and graphical pattern recognition
techniques will be covered, as will techniques which use multiple
measurements in concert.
Course Content: The course will
strive to provide a strong and coherent foundation for the understanding
of other, specialized interpretation techniques involving well
log data which will not be covered. Topics that will be covered
include: an overview of petrophysical well log data acquisition;
description of correlation/lithology, porosity and fluid saturation
from logs; interpretive techniques using logs individually and
in combination; and interpretation exercises to reinforce the
interpretation methods discussed.
Duration/Credit Hours: 2 days (PTTC
will provide Professional Development Hour certificates to all
who complete the full two-day course.)
Instructor: Daniel A. Krygowski,
who currently is with ChevronTexaco in Houston, Texas, was formerly
a petrophysicist with Landmark Graphics, where he was involved
with petrophysical and user interface development in a number
of software products, primarily PetroWorks. He previously held
a variety of technical and management positions in petrophysics
and software development at ARCO and Cities Service Company. He
holds M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in geophysics from the Colorado School
of Mines.
