In this SPE Tech Talk, NexTier showcases its combined advancements in electric-drive equipment, automation-enabled pump down operations, and digital connectivity to enhance wellsite operations.

Dynamic data, acquired using wireline formation testing or well testing techniques, are used by operators to address uncertainties associated with res

Introduces the scope, objectives and main methods of formation evaluation, especially LWD and wireline well logging, core acquisition and analysis, and well testing. Discusses the measurements of rock and fluid properties such as porosity, absolute and relative permeability, formation resistivity, fluid saturation, petrophysical parameters and the effects of drilling mud filtrate invasion on the formations near the wellbore. Describes the main core acquisition processes and subsequent common routine and special core analysis (SCAL) techniques. Overviews the objectives and some basic methods of well testing and analysis, and the integration of the well test analysis with other subsurface data.

Logging while drilling (LWD) and wireline logging set-up processes, equipment, tool conveyance, data transmission and operational procedures are reviewed. The features and functions of common LWD and wireline logging tools are summarized. LWD and wireline logging operations are compared, facilitating logging program design. Well log quality control techniques are discussed.

Traces the evolution of perforating equipment and methods. Provides an overview of shaped charge operating principles, charge conveyance methods and charge carrier systems. Outlines commonly used perforating techniques and their areas of application. Describes basic design and operating considerations related to overbalanced vs. underbalanced perforating, detonation safeguards, depth control and perforating fluids. Examines the effects of key reservoir characteristics and well parameters on perforation performance and reviews the basic types of perforator tests recommended by the API RP 19B standard. Describes the major equipment components, job planning considerations and operating procedures involved in wireline perforating, tubing conveyed perforating, coiled tubing and pump-down perforating. Includes case studies illustrating the application of various perforating techniques.

Upon completing this Learning Module assignment, the participant should be able to select the appropriate logging tool(s) for evaluating a given reservoir parameter, taking into account operating conditions and limitations, and specify procedures, surface equipment, and auxiliary tools to be employed on a logging job.

Explains commonly used standard and quick-look log analysis techniques. Demonstrates the interpretation of LWD and wireline logs to determine the shale volume, lithology, porosity, and fluid saturation. Presents well log interpretation techniques suitable for both individual well analysis and field studies.
