Overview:

Through this course you will learn to understand and recognize the sources of errors in well measurements, to plan the acquisition of fit-for-purpose data, to ascertain the adequacy of available data to your specific requirements, and to manage the uncertainties associated with non-quality data.    

This is a practical course, intended to familiarize you with the challenges of working with real-world data that are often of variable quality, of different vintages, acquired by different data acquisition companies, using different conveyance modes (LWD, wireline, drillpipe, coiled tubing, etc), in increasingly challenging well environments – deviated wells, multilaterals, unusual mud systems, etc, in a fast-evolving acquisition context.

Main outcomes of this course are that you will be a more aware, knowledgeable and confident generator and user of well data, and hence a more dependable, effective and valuable professional.

The main objectives of this course are to understand and become familiar with:

• ► the conditions and the sequence of data acquisition in the field
• ► the specifics of the main logging tools relevant to data quality
• ► the terminology and the methods to understand and quantify errors
• ► the methods of log quality control 
• ► the value and use of metadata and contextual data
• ► the importance of the human factor

You will learn to plan for the acquisition of better quality well data, and the three types of  log data quality control.

Who should attend?

All professionals who use log and other well data, and who would benefit from an improved understanding of the data acquisition processes at the wellsite and the data exploitation in the office.   These include:
•    Geologists          •    Petrophysicists                                 •    Data Acquisition Engineers 
•    Geophysicists     •    Geotechnical and support personnel     •    Reservoir Engineers               •    Explorationists

Instructor

Martin Storey began his career in the oil and gas industry as a Logging Engineer in South America some 25 years ago, then joined a super-major and worked in Gabon as a Wellsite Petroleum Engineer, and Petrophysicist. An assignment in Brunei Darussalam as a Petrophysicist and Petrophysical Technology Planner followed. Since 1998, he has been an independent consultant and a trainer based in Malaysia then Western Australia.  He has worked for a range of companies broad in size and spread. He delivers this course under an exclusive license from Philippe Theys, the originator of the course, with whom he has been evolving the course since 2012. 
He grew up in France and holds a BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science from Stanford University and an MSc in Electrical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) (U.S.A.).  He is a member of SPE, SPWLA, SCA, FESAus, EAGE and PPDM.
