Operations Geology

SUITABLE:

All geoscientists, petroleum engineers, well engineers and technical personnel who will attend or direct subsurface and wellsite operations.

OBJECTIVES:

By the end of the course, delegates will:

• Learn how to plan and prepare for a drilling location and geological services
• Be able to identify drilling operations and geological drilling hazards
• Understand and apply logging services
• Understand well testing services
• Be able to evaluate drilling reports, the impact on the field development plan
• Be able to describe drilling cutting and cores
• Be able to prepare and complete operations reports

SUMMARY:

• Petroleum geology and its systems
• Operations geology: prospect to well planning, provision of geological services
• Wellsite geology: geological sampling, sample analysis, and well stratigraphy, cutting & core description
• Structural geology: fractures, faults, borehole geology
• Drilling operations: bits, fluids, casting & cement, drilling problems & well control, directional drilling, geosteering
• Logging operations: acquisition, tools, quick look interpretation, MWD/LWED, geosteering
• Well testing & fluid, etc
