.75 CEU What is a CEU?

Who Should Attend

This course is designed to help geologists with a desire to understand the relationship between complex Granite and Atoka Wash horizons and completion efficiency, as well as engineers who want to understand the data gathering and interpretation techniques and applying that data to the economics of completion.

Objectives

By the end of this course, participants should be able to:

• Outline basic deposition environment of the regional play
• Demonstrate interpretation issues of conventional logs
• Understand the benefit of enhanced technology devices to derive reservoir parameter needed for efficient completions
• Understand how the data is applied to completion decisions

Content

This course will present basic geology of the Granite Wash and the Atoka Wash formations of Oklahoma and Texas. Log interpretation problems created by a very complex lithology will be explored. Current solutions to some of these problems will be presented. Completions of these reservoirs considering all of these data inputs will be discussed. This is intended provide a multi-disciplinary approach to maximize the return from these reservoirs.

Course topics will include:

• Geologic overview of regional and local features
• Basic log interpretation issues and limitations to describe these complex reservoir
• Application of Image logs, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance logs and dipole sonic logs to determine deposition, porosity, permeability and treatment capabilities of the reservoir
• Design considerations of fracture treatments to insure efficient completions
