Logging, the Analyst and the Petroleum Industry

Petroleum Industry

Phases in the Life Cycle of a Petroleum Resource

 Exploration
 Development
 Production
 Abandonment
Petroleum Industry - Exploration

The object of the exploration phase is the location of

potential petroleum reserves. The tools used in this
phase include:
 Geologic maps and surveys
 Satellite photography
 Surface Seismic
 Exploratory wells
Petroleum Industry – Exploration - Maps

Petroleum Industry – Exploration - VSP
Petroleum Industry – Exploration - Drilling
Petroleum – Exploration - Objectives

 The location and mapping of potential petroleum

traps
 Location, identification and quantification of
petroleum reserves
 Evaluation of potential reservoir parameters
(lithology, porosity, permeabilty)
 Creation of a development plan
Petroleum – Development - Objectives

 Mapping of the reservoir

 Design of a drilling program
 Design of a completion program for the field
 Identification and evaluation of target formations of
the individual wells
 Design of a completion program for individual wells
 Evaluate the completion of individual wells
 Evaluate and monitor fluid production
Petroleum – Production - Objectives

 Monitor fluid flows

 Monitor the completion
 Monitor the status of production hardware
Petroleum – Abandonment - Objectives

 Design program for the isolation of well fluids

 Evaluation of the completions of the wells to be
abandoned
 Evaluation of abandonment hardware
Petroleum – Abandonment - Objectives

 Design program for the isolation of well fluids

 Evaluation of the completions of the wells to be
abandoned
 Evaluation of abandonment hardware
