WATER ANALYSIS INTERPRETATION:OPUS TRAINING COURSE
Opus offers their popular "Water Analysis Interpretation Course" as a live, on-line course. The course is presented through live conference video with the instructors.
Case studies will be done off-line, then each case will be reviewed live with an instructor.
PRICING:
One participant: $700 + GST
Additional participants in same course: $200/person + GST
Opus Petroleum Engineering Ltd. offers the industry's best-known practical water analysis interpretation course. The course is presented on-line in three 3 hour sessions. It is a hands-on practical workshop, designed to give petroleum engineers, geologists, technologists and laboratory personnel a working knowledge that they can immediately apply to their everyday work.
Theory is kept to a minimum and participants are encouraged to bring water analyses from their own work experience for discussion. This course concentrates on the practical uses of water analyses that are not normally encountered in service company seminars.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
To "fingerprint" a formation water to recognize the source formation.
To use water analysis to assist in stratigraphic and channel interpretations.
To use water analyses to avoid water compatibility problems.
To recognize meteoric waters for TDS mapping in basin studies.
To acquire better resistivity data from water analyses for log interpretation.
To recognize spent acid, KCl fluids and mud filtrate recoveries to find bypassed pay opportunities.
To recognize the type of fluid recovered from the limited data at the well site.
To recognize the source of the water in wells having completion problems.
COURSE OUTLINE:
Units of Measurement: Ion units and conversion, ion balance and accuracy, TDS, resistivity, density, refractive index.
Basics of Water Interpretation: Plotting a Stiff diagram, Fingerprinting.
Identifying a gel-chem mud: Gel-chem mud fingerprint, Na to Cl ratio.
Practical Suggestions Obtaining the best sample, recognizing contaminants.
