Gas While Drilling (GWD), Measurement, Interpretation & Applications

With the new drive to gradually replace oil with gas, interest in gas deposits is becoming a national and international policy. Oil deposit usually have associated gas and before reaching reservoir targets, information from biogenic and thermogenic gases can provide useful guide in well drilling, petroleum results and field development. Our Gas While Drilling module aims at optimising Gas Technology skills for individuals and corporate organisations in the industry. Taking advantage of this online edition will help you acquire skills on:

Gas Measurement

  • GWD Principles
  • Gas Units and Gas Concentration
  • Primary Dry and Secondary Wet Gases
  • Gas System Sensors and Calibration
  • Chromatograph: Total Gas and Components
  • GWD Technology: Set up, Extraction, Analysing and Fingerprinting

Gas Interpretation

  • Gas Sources and Types (TrG, Swab, CG, CirG, RG, BGG, FG)
  • Analysers: Constant (CVA) and Variable Volume (VVA) Analyser
  • Gas Quality Control (QC) and Indicators
  • Gas Line Checks and Chromatography Checks
  • Assessment Curves: Saturation, Separation and Consistency
  • Wetness, Balance and Character

GWD Applications

  • Direct Hydrocarbon Indicator (DHI)
  • Fluid Characterisation and Biodegradation
  • Fluid Evolution and Compartmentalisation
  • Lithological Characterisation and Rock Type
  • Seal Analysis and Trap Quality
  • Pore Pressure Surveillance and Gas-Aided Drilling (GAD)
  • Integration with Drilling Parameters
  • Integration in Masterlog and Well Reports

I look forward to having you participate, and as usual, we are going to have a nice time giving all that is required to make the session a classroom and hand-on experience, for each participant. The testimonials of our trainees speak volume!

Intensive Weekend Training on PORE PRESSURE PREDICTION

Pore Pressure Prediction is perhaps the most important skill to acquire in the extractive energy industry. A skill you must get at some point, and better early, in your professional pursuit.

·         It is the basis of safe drilling and prediction of petroleum results.

·         It forms the basis for collaboration between geoscientists and engineers, as well as other métiers in oil companies.

·         It integrates every other aspect of the E and P value chain, from exploration to production, through well geology and petrophysics, to well follow up and reporting.

·         Knowledge of geopressure, and the ability to predict or understand abnormal pressures, sets personnel apart in any team or department in the workplace and at operational sites.

·         Unfortunately, many candidates miss this training and the skills are reserved for just few who eventually excel in their career.

This opportunity comes to you at this time, to learn the tools of PPP in a simplified manner, necessary for your future career or current evolution at work.

We look forward to your participation in this upcoming training.
