Course Description
This one day course presents more than a dozen case studies of bypassed or unconventional 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. This course is focused on practical application as opposed to theory and equations with the goals of;
- Improving skills in recognizing unusual log signatures that can indicate an unconventional or bypassed resource
- Improving skills in quality-control of standard logs and processed logs - Recognizing situations where additional logs, core or other information might be needed for proper formation evaluation.
*Participants will need to bring a laptop with Microsoft Excel to each day of this course*
Who Should Attend
For general audiences from new grads to gray hairs, for all Geoscientists – anyone with a basic understanding of logs. A diverse mix of experience levels and disciplines provides better discussion.
