Borehole Imaging Interpretation
Topics:
- Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
- acquire the fundamental principles of Borehole Image Interpretation,
- apply the methodology to approach the Borehole Image Interpretation,
- perform BHI data quality control,
- identify the fractures present in the images, by differentiating them from sedimentary and artificial features,
- characterize the interpreted fractures in terms of their position, morphology, type, kinematics, orientation and dip angle, using GEOLOG.
Audience:
Geoscientists and reservoir engineers are involved in the development of naturally fractured reservoirs.
