Formation Microscanner (FMS) Log Interpretation Workshop

Who should attend?

The course is intended for sedimentologists, structural geologists, petrophysicists, engineers and geophysicists who are concerned with the downhole recognition of lithological sequences, structures and reservoir characteristics

Overview:

If correctly calibrated, good quality borehole image logs can provide a wealth of information on reservoir quality. The course aims to demonstrate to geoscientists and engineers how to extract information from manual interpretation of borehole image logs. Commencing with an introduction in which theoretical considerations of FMS and other micrologs are presented, the course proceeds with interpretive aspects. These include the recognition of and methods of determining rock lithologies, lithological sequences, sedimentary structures and palaeocurrent measurement, tectonic structures, borehole damage and artefacts. Practical exercises are used throughout and a workshop involving problem-solving exercises concludes the course.

Content:

• FMS and other borehole micrologs
  e.g. CYBL, Televiewer, DUALDIP, MSD, principles, operating conditions, output, resolution
• FMS interpretation
• Methods of determining orientation of dipping features, correction for borehole drift, reorientation of cores
• Recognition of structures in cores - slab/outside surface
• Recognition of structures from FMS
