Course Content (Syllabus)
The upstream, midstream and downstream sectors of the oil industry, as well as all techniques and activities for oil and gas exploration are presented. There are three (3) primary methodologies used to find hydrocarbons in the subsurface: Geophysical, Remote Sensing, and wildcatting (exploratory drilling). The ‘Mud Logging’ practice, heavily related to the mud circulation system, is described in detail. ‘Mud Logging’ is the creation of a detailed record, the ‘well log’ of a borehole by examining the cuttings of rock brought to the surface by the circulating drilling mud. Information about the lithology and fluid content of the borehole while drilling is provided. Mud logging includes observation and microscopic examination of drill cuttings, and evaluation of gas hydrocarbon and its constituents, basic chemical and mechanical parameters of drilling mud, as well as compiling other information about the drilling parameters. The different technologies for the extraction of samples, or “cores”, from the formation using special bits or wireline-conveyed coring tools are presented. The ‘Well logging’ which constitutes the practice of making a detailed record (the ‘well log’) of the geologic formations penetrated by a borehole is introduced.
