All aspects of the well cementation process, cement types and properties, planning and interpretation of CBL operations, essential CBL parameters, tools types and physics, well environment, examples, IDL and reporting.
The course is intended for Petro Technologists, Petrophysicists, Well Engineering staff of a subsurface team, well engineering, as well as well safety teams.
Duration
Learning Level
The purpose and process of cementing a well is covered in detail with respect to casing types, coating, centralisation, well trajectory and shape, formation type, cement types, cement recipes, pumping sequence and information needed from the process to be used in evaluating later cement bond logs. The value of information (VOI) of a cement bond log survey is discussed related producer, injection and CCUS projects.
Following the cementation process, the basic cement evaluation tools (CBL-VDL) are covered, followed by radial tools and latest generation of ultrasonic and pad type tools. Each tool is covered in theory followed by examples.
At the end of this 2 day course, the participant will be able to justify the acquisition of a CBL, select the best tool, read the log, perform basic QC and relate the data in context to the well type, completion and report the data in a format that enables a team to take a decision based on the acquired data.
