COURSE OVERVIEW
In addressing of importance of borehole images and its application in oil industry, this course is designed as the full process of borehole images data processing, QC and full interpretation. A good borehole images analysis could be calibrated to verify petrophysical parameters like porosity and permeability. It helps as well in selecting intervals for sampling and plays an important role as a fundamental input to geomechanically modelling for drilling optimization, simulation and wellbore stability.
The objectives of this course are to provide participants with a competency in Borehole images interpretation’s technics and geological features recognition. Raw borehole images data are used during the course. Participant are taken step by step through all of the interpretation and QC technics, checking essential curves, recognizing geological features, manual picking of the features, fractures characterization, stress orientation, Structural dip analysis, sedimentological analysis, overview of

INSTRUCTOR
Imene Ferhat
Imene Ferhat accumulate over 10 years of borehole images interpretation, geomechanics and geosciences experience. She joined Baker Hughes as a geoscientist and certified for advanced borehole images and awarded for the efforts and commitments. She became a team lead and contributed in several integration studies and geomechanics modelling delivered to different companies in Europe, Middle East and Africa.
Imene Joined to the Algerian institute of petroleum (IAP) as instructor, presenting seminars and workshops for engineers in borehole images and geomechanics, and published recently a study titled “Fractures Characterization of the Combro-Ordovician Reservoir of Hassi Messaoud”, where she addressed the compartmentalization issue related to fault sealing in the periphery of Hassi Messaoud field
