Taking the next informed step by correlating petrophysical logs, interpretation, and other available data with gas & fluid phase production to improve field development

Patrick Hayes
Tracerco 
 

Abstract


This presentation will use raw data and case study examples to show how relationships between various types of geotechnical logs in multiple basins and formations can be linked to measured changes in stage phase production over time.
 
The demonstrations will include resistivity, gamma ray, and geomechanical logs evaluating multiple variables and impacts on production utilizing chemical tracer applications to measure individual stage production of single wells and multi-well pads in different basins.

From the President

Yulia Faulkner

Greetings DWLS members and families,

The Summer is officially over, welcome to the Fall, the change is in the air: cooler temperatures, beautiful colors, warmer clothes, cozy blankets, preparations for Halloween!

I am happy to announce that our first 2021/2022 In-Person Luncheon was a success! As expected, the attendance was on the low side, but the DWLS board was very happy to see the increased interest to be In-Person and welcome back many of you who attended. I am also thankful to our Speaker Dick Merkel for his outstanding presentation. Thank you all for your feedback and thanks to Wynkoop for continuing hosting DWLS events.

As we plan to keep October and November luncheons In-Person, please check out the DWLS website and mark your calendars for those luncheons of interest to you. We also would like your feedback on having a December holiday social event.

We are seeing a slight increase in activities and job openings in the O&G industry. We are happy to publish any job opportunities on the DWLS website if that helps folks to find work. DWLS is here to serve our members. I kindly ask you to send me suggestions on how we can increase the value of your membership, to my address: President@dwls.spwla.org.
