Description
Luis Escandon
Petrophysicists Specialist, graduated as Petroleum Engineer at the Central University of Venezuela.
Luis has over 34 years experience as Senior Petrophysics specialist working in Exploration and Production for PDVSA in all the basins of Venezuela, and in several of Colombia and Mexico basins, extensive experience in University teaching, and technical instructor.
He is an Expert user of Techlog, Discovery, Petrel, ArcGIS, and Cristal-Ball.
Luis lectures in association with MineaOil Ltd.
This course is oriented to the dissemination of Basic Foundations of Petrophysics, for beginner professionals in G&G processes.
The program pursues theoretical-practical orientation covering the Conceptualization of Petrophysical Properties (CPP), the typification and petrophysical characterization of rock (Mineralogy and Clays). Storage capacity (absolute and effective porosities). Fluid distribution (sand and volumetric distribution of Gas-Water and Petroleum). Preferential fluid mobility (absolute and relative permeability systems). Estimation of properties using “Well Logs” and Laboratory Analysis (LA-AL). Well Log, Cores, rock samples and fluids Analysis. Formations Evaluation methods for Classics, Carbonates and Shales.
- Analyze the basic petrophysical properties of the subsurface and the relationships between them,
- Evaluate rock-fluid reservoir systems
- Analyze the most commonly used techniques for measuring using Well Logs and Core Analysis.
- Discuss exploratory opportunities.
- Learn how to perform basic analysis of bare pit records to identify prospective intervals
- Establish their relevant petrophysical characteristics, as well as identify producing intervals and their relative input through piped hole registers.
The course is aimed at professionals in training, geosciences or related sciences.
- Geologists and Geophysics
- Field and Production Engineers
- Drilling Engineers
- Development Engineers
- Oil and Gas Field Operations Managers and Supervisors
This training can be conducted internally based on workshop sessions for groups of delegates interested in understanding basic reservoir engineering; can be adapted to the specific needs of the company.
