Sandy Shale Petrophysics
Candidates:
Geoscientists, petrophysicists and Engineers, who are involved in exploring, developing and producing from shaly sand reservoirs.
Summary:
Shale strongly affects the physical properties of the reservoir rock and induces a significant effect on the reservoir properties and hence on the response of most logging tools. The course is designed in a workshop environment to help participants practice case studies and solve real problems related to shaly sand reservoirs. Participants will learn how to identify and evaluate pay intervals in shaly sands.
