Course Overview

The Wireline course offers detailed insight into what Wireline is and what it is used for. This course has been dynamically structured to promote the easy learning of some of the most complex techniques in oilfield drilling. Students of this course will not be taught to only memorize definitions and terms, but will be shown why certain tools and techniques are used. This allows for a deeper understanding of the material, and better overall course quality. This course will show how Wireline developed along with the tools and technology that are utilized by engineers all around the world. Students are also made aware of proper tool handling techniques to insure the safety of not only themselves, but of all those around them making a more productive and profitable work place. We understand that effectively building confidence in the way students properly and safely handle tools will pay off almost immediately.

Module Overview

The first Wireline module launches the course by giving insight into what formations are and how they are evaluated. Next, since it is important to understand how hydrocarbons are made, the highly complex and seemingly unlikely deposition process is explained. Along with this, surface seismic testing is highlighted and how it can be used to evaluate a potential reservoir. Finally, wireline tools role in studying hydrocarbon traps is discussed. And how these tools help Oil and Gas companies determine their next move.

Module Objectives

• What formations are and how they are formed
• How hydrocarbons are formed
• How hydrocarbons become trapped in a formation
• Formation evaluation and how it can help recover hydrocarbons
• Why evaluation is important and how it impacts drilling operations
