Production Logging & Well Surveillance Training Course

Course Overview

Learning Objectives

• Analyze the objectives and value of well surveillance for production optimization, reservoir management, and well integrity on Day 1.
• Design cost-effective surveillance programs that define objectives, measurements, frequency, and expected decisions.
• Apply multiphase flow principles in vertical, deviated, and horizontal wells, including flow regimes, holdup, and segregation.
• Explain the principles and applications of production logging tools, including spinners, density, holdup, temperature, pressure, caliper, and array tools.
• Plan production logging jobs, including flowing and shut-in passes, logging speeds, conveyance methods, and well conditions.
• Apply data quality control techniques to production logging data.
• Interpret production logs to determine flow profiles, zonal contributions, water and gas entries, and crossflow.
• Apply temperature, noise, distributed temperature sensing, and distributed acoustic sensing to identify flow, leaks, and injection profiles.
• Apply cased hole saturation monitoring using pulsed neutron tools to track fluid contacts and saturation changes.
• Evaluate cement and well integrity logs, including acoustic, ultrasonic, caliper, and electromagnetic corrosion tools.
• Apply injection well surveillance, permanent downhole gauges, production tests, multiphase meters, and tracers to monitor well and reservoir performance.
• Integrate surveillance results into reservoir management, intervention selection, and production optimization decisions by the end of Day 5.
