Wireline Formation Testing in Hostile Environments: H2S, HPHT, CO2 and Slim Holes
11-14 May 2008
Alexandria, Egypt
Hostile logging environments present major challenges to formation evaluation. As our wells get deeper and hotter, the wellbore gets slimmer, adding size constraint to the complexity of the task. This is more true for wireline formation testers (WFT), where the success of a well hinges on the proof of free hydrocarbon presence in the rock. WFT latest generation of pumping tools allows for the proper characterization of the reservoir rocks and fluids.
With deeper reservoirs, permeability diminishes, temperature rises, and the fluids get to be super critical, all adding to the complexity of the operation to arrive at the proper assessment of the reservoir permeabilities and the fluid properties. Special equipment is needed to handle the HPHT component, or the H2S /CO2 presence in the fluids, against the limit of the tool electronics and its elastomer properties. Yet, the job has to be completed at the end of the day, and soon will be matched against the actual production.
Come join us, and share our collective experiences, operators and service providers. Let us learn and establish common grounds for dealing with such a hostile environment and improve the chances of success.
Who Should Attend
This workshop is for reservoir engineers, petrophysical engineers, production engineers, and drilling engineers, amongst many that will face such problems when designing their evaluation wells in such environments.
