To gain a basic understanding of the fundamental concepts of hydrocarbon composition in particular with relevance to hydrocarbon fluid analysis and pressure evaluation from mud logging and other well log techniques.

Hydrocarbon Composition and Evaluation

• Petroleum composition and classification

• Pressure and Temperature States

Interpretation

• Measurement and Detection

• Gas Sources

• Factors influencing Quality and Composition: Formations, drilling, fluid movements, surface considerations

Hydrocarbon Analysis

• Definitions and Basic Logs

• Hydrocarbon ration Analysis

• Gas Ratios and Geosteering

• Fluorescence

Applications and Case Histories

• Determination of fluid type and density changes

• Determination of gas, oil and water contacts

• Correlation and non-correlation in wireline logs

• Horizontal wells and geosteering

• Miscible flood identification

• Fracture identification

• DST results versus ratio analysis

• Profiling reservoir characteristics with gas ratio and other mud logging data

• Effects of low API oils on gas ratios

• Effects of low viscosity/low gel strength mud on gas analysis
