Formation Evaluation: Multi-Mineral Analysis and Interpretation using Aspen Geolog

Using a hands-on, practical approach, this course is designed to help users learn how to perform sophisticated formation evaluation using Multimin, the advanced petrophysics application in Geolog.
The user is guided through the following examples:

• A documented example of a simple analysis, and then further interpretation of the example
• Complex example
• Silt example
• NIMBLE example
• Carbonate example

Audience:

Petroleum geologists, engineers and petrophysicists

Pre-requisites

To gain the most from this training course, the following prerequisites are required:
• A working knowledge of Geolog and its conventions, methods for importing data into the software, and the way data is stored.
• A working knowledge of the methods used in Geolog to perform basic preparation tasks for petrophysical data, including:
o Depth-matching, editing and despiking for petrophysical logs
o Environmental corrections
o Data displays
o Crossplotting
• A general understanding of petrophysics, including the concept of response equations for tools, and the methods used to calculate shale volumes, porosities and water saturations. An appreciation of cation-exchange based methods for water saturation determination is helpful, as is an understanding of mineralogy effects on tool responses
