CGE674 FORMATION EVALUATION

TUTORIAL 1

1) Describe the main roles of petrophysicist, and those involved with other disciplines.

2) Identify other types of logging conveyance method other than wireline logging and LWD. Describe
their basic principles.

3) With the aid of diagram, describe the invasion process and how it occurs. Sketch and discuss the
resistivity profile in terms of its distance away from the well bore, and show the relative resistivity
of deep, medium and shallow investigation logs, when run in the following fluids:
(i) Fresh mud, Salt-water zone;
(ii) Salty mud, Hydrocarbon zone

4) In most hydrocarbon bearing formations, a zone called annular is produced. Describe how an
annular zone is formed. Sketch the resistivity profile across the invasion for this case where
Rmf>Rw

5) Identify the three radioisotopes that we commonly detect using the spectral gamma method.

6) Discuss the Shale Potential and Liquid-Junction Potential in SP log which produce the current
flow.

7) Disscuss how presense of gas can be detected by combination of data from Neutron and
density log.

8) Discuss the effect of salinity to the deflection of SP curve and how it is related to the permeable
zone. Justify.

9) Discuss parameters that affect the readings of SP log

10) Array Sonic tools can capture the full-waveforms of compressional, shear and Stoneley arrivals.
Describe the three principal uses of these waveform data.

11) Express the relationship between velocity and transit time. Explain the effect of gas to the
calculated porosity.

12) Describe the porosity reading in density log at gas zone. Why correction has to be made to the
porosity reading in oil and gas zones?

13) Discuss how resistivity logs in combination with porosity logs are used to determine the fluid
contacts.

14) Identify two (2) types of coring. Distinguish between both types of coring.
