Open Hole Tools and Formation Evaluation

Open Hole Tools and Formation Evaluation

In this module, the importance of formation evaluation is examined. And, more specifically, what tools that engineers use to help determine if recovery is profitably possible. Nuclear tools and Gamma ray tools are explored, and how radiation can be used to measure the porosity of a rock formation. Then, the importance of data provided by sampling tools taken from extreme depths downhole is stressed. While the overall picture of the formation from downhole that Imaging tools provide becomes more clear.

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.
