Who Should Attend
This course is useful for geologists, managers, engineers, geophysicists, and any geoscientists interested in looking at case studies of unconventional or bypassed pay in shale, clastics, and carbonates.
Objectives and Content
This course presents more than a dozen case studies of unconventional or bypassed pay in shale, clastics, and carbonates. The examples will be reviewed by class attendees in teams and discussed with the class in a workshop format designed to encourage discussion and learning. With no equations beyond the Archie formula, and minimal theory, the goals of the course are:
- To improve skills in recognizing unusual log signatures that can indicate an unconventional or bypassed resource.
- To improve skills in quality-control of standard logs and processed logs.
- To recognize situations where additional logs, core or other information might be needed for proper formation evaluation.
Key topics include:
- Unconventional resources, gas shales
- Tight gas
- Low contrast/low resistivity pay
- Natural fractures
- Quality control of processed logs
Case Studies: (Some are pending release)
- Niobrara shaley carbonate, natural fractures
- Codell shaley low contrast sand, bogus and corrected processed log
- Travis Peak low contrast shaley sand, bogus and corrected processed log
- Wattenberg J sand organic shale bypassed pay, NMR log & synthetic NMR log
- Hugoton Council Grove mixed lithology low contrast pay with processed log issue
- Greenhorn / Niobrara organic shale
- Marmaton formation with NMR log issue
- Hugoton Morrow sand quality control example, processed log problem
- GOM Mahogany subsalt laminated low contrast pay sands
- GOM Eugene Island 330 low contrast pay
- Canadian fractured CMR log
- Keg River carbonate Salt plugged porosity
- Red Cave formation, NMR log
- Brown dolomite NMR with incorrect processing
- Shannon Sand / Gammon shale low contrast gas sands
- GOM 2000 bopd shaley sand low contrast pay example
- McLish sand CMR with FMI
- Tonkawa Sand CMR example
- Granite Wash CMR with RFT perm NMR log with Stonely perm example
- Canadian carbonate low contrast pay example
- Montney CMR vs core permeability
- Bossier shale gas case study
This class includes more than 12 workshop exercises. The strength of this course is that the case studies are reviewed by attendees in teams, then they present them back to the class.
