It is an honor and privilege to be part of this dream team! This year’s virtual 62nd Annual Logging Symposium was well attended, and the platform we used worked well for us. Considering the circumstances, I would call it a successful event. I would like to thank our SPWLA Boston Chapter for hosting our symposium and all the volunteers who worked extra hours and put a lot of effort into making this event flawless. THANK YOU! In case you missed the symposium or would like to rewatch some talks or workshops, we have them available for on-demand viewing

    "Memories and thoughts on 50 years of oil and gas geophysics" Jean Laherrere ASPO (Association for the study of peak oil and gas) March 2005 « All that is simple is false and all that is complex is useless » Paul Valéry Seismic was born during the First World War when the German military (led by Mintrop who founded Seismos in 1921) located Allied guns by measuring the acoustic waves. French and English attempts were less advanced to locate German guns. Seismos, the oldest geophysical contracting company in the world, applied the refraction shooting to the exploration of salt domes in Germany. Karcher (who founded GSI later) carried the first reflection survey in 1921 in Oklahoma. Gravimetry was introduced in 1915 by Eostvos in Czechoslavia and during the 20s on the salt domes in Texas. Geophysics in well (logging) started in 1927 in France by the Schlumberger brothers in Alsace. I have lived through most part of the world geophysics evolution I joined Compagnie Francaise des Petroles (now Total) in 1955 after studies in Ecole Polytechnique and Ecole Nationale des Petroles. I was sent to the Sahara as geophysicist in 1956 where I participated in the discovery of Hassi Messaoud and Hassi R’Mel, the largest oil and gas fields in Africa. We were using refraction shooting tracking the basement, despite that being of a lower velocity than the anhydrite (Mesozoic), but it is more energetic at long distances (10 km), also measuring gravity and airmag. Reflection shooting was used to get more precise mapping of the horizons, but reflections were too weak within many multiples events and too discontinuous to be tracked below the anhydrite.

  • Petrophysical Well Log Analysis for Hydrocarbon Exploration in Parts of Assam Arakan Basin, India
    10th Biennial International Conference & Exposition P 153 Petrophysical Well Log Analysis for Hydrocarbon exploration in parts of Assam Arakan Basin, India Ishwar, N.B.1 and Bhardwaj, A.2* Summary Well logging is a study of acquiring information on physical properties of rocks that are exposed during drilling of an oil well. The key purpose of well logging is to obtain petrophysical properties of reservoirs such as Porosity, Permeability, hydrocarbon saturation etc., for hydrocarbon exploration. Logs also tell us about the fluids in the pores of the reservoir rocks. Petrophysical parameters such as effective porosity (Φ), water saturation (Sw), formation water resistivity (Rw), hydrocarbon saturation (So) and true resistivity (Rt) are evaluated by using the well log data. In the present study, an attempt has been conducted to describe the application of various open-hole logging tools such as gamma ray, neutron density, resistivity and caliper logging tools to determine the petrophysical properties of reservoirs. The present study portrays the interpretation of well log data using the openhole logs in parts of Assam Arakan Basin. Well log analysis revealed that the range of formation water resistivity (Rw) vary from 0.32 Ω-m in the deeper subsurface to 0.89 Ω-m in the shallow surface indicating the presence of fresh water bearing sands at shallow depth. An interesting zone is identified on logs at the depth of 2214.0 m with GR value of 85api, resistivity of 18 Ω-m and average porosity of 27.14% as calculated which corresponds to be hydrocarbon bearing. Oil Water Contact is encountered at the depth of 2250.0 m with Rw of 0.59Ω-m.
