Description
Now available in a new Second Edition, Production Logging: Theoretical and Interpretive Elements is the “must have” reference for petroleum engineers faced with obtaining and interpreting production logs. Readers will learn how to determine which log or combination of logs to run, the procedures to follow to obtain the most information and how to make initial interpretations of commonly used production logs. With the changes in technology since the First Edition, a full chapter has been added on the topic of production logging in nominally horizontal wells along with new information on well completion logs.
Features & Benefits
- Equips engineers with practical guidance for selecting and interpreting production logs
- Outlines step-by-step procedures for running logs and maximizing data acquisition
- Includes updated content reflecting recent advances in logging technologies
- Features an all-new chapter on production logging in horizontal wells
- Covers new insights on well completion logs to support more accurate evaluations
Audience
- Petroleum engineers involved in well diagnostics and performance analysis
- Production and completion engineers planning or interpreting logging programs
- Field engineers and logging specialists responsible for data acquisition and analysis
- Reservoir engineers integrating production logs into reservoir performance studies
- Students and professionals seeking an advanced reference on production logging
About the Author
Dr. A. Daniel Hill is Professor and holder of the Noble Endowed Chair in Petroleum Engineering in the Harold Vance Department of Petroleum Engineering at Texas A&M University. Dr. Hill joined the Texas A&M faculty in 2004. Previously, he taught for twenty-two years at The University of Texas at Austin after spending five years in industry. He holds a B.S. degree from Texas A&M University, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from The University of Texas at Austin, all in chemical engineering. He is the author of over 200 technical papers and five patents. He has been a Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Distinguished Lecturer, has served on numerous SPE committees and was founding chairman of the Austin SPE Section. He was named a Distinguished Member of SPE in 1999, received the SPE Production and Operations Award in 2008, was one of the first two recipients of the SPE Pipeline Award in 2012, received the SPE Regional Distinguished Achievement Award for Petroleum Engineering Faculty for the Gulf Coast North America Region in 2013, received the SPE John Franklin Carll Award in 2014, and was named an Honorary Member of SPE and AIME in 2020. From 2014 to 2017, he was a member of the SPE Board of Directors. In 2019, Professor Hill was named a Regents Professor by the Texas A&M System Board of Regents. Professor Hill is an expert in the areas of production engineering, well completions, well stimulation, production logging, and complex well performance (horizontal and multilateral wells) and has presented lectures and courses and consulted on these topics throughout the world.
