This course teaches you advanced techniques for production logging and reservoir monitoring.  You will learn to design a data acquisition program to evaluate wellbore or reservoir behavior based on field development objectives.    You will learn in-depth log interpretation techniques such as interpreting three phase fluid flow in deviated and horizontal wells. You will also learn quick look techniques for log quality control as well as how to plan and integrate multi-source data to complete your evaluation.  Using hands-on examples, you will learn to interpret behind casing resistivity, three phase flow in horizontal wells, and evaluating fluid saturations using logging tools.

1.     Inflow performance and productivity index for oil wells and gas wells.

2.     Outflow performance: matching inflow with outflow to optimize well productivity

3.     Flow Regimes in vertical, deviated and horizontal wells.

4.     Slippage velocities in vertical and deviated wells.
