Cased-hole logging is performed more rarely but still provides valuable information about the well. It is used to help operators obtain additional information from a well or reservoir that has already been completed. This course covers all aspects of cased-hole logging and interpretation, with particular emphasis on logs and flow quantification. More knowledge about cased-hole logs will lead to better understanding of the well and the surrounding reservoir. The course will cover detection of leaks behind casing, cement bond logs and applied in deviated wells. Also the interpretation of Multi phase flow, tool threshold, Slip velocity correlation will be covered.

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

• Learn what is happening inside your well and its environment
• Understand if different fluids which enter the casing are really coming from the formation
• Know where your injection gas or water is going
• Reasons of leaks behind casing
• Learn and understand zonal cross flow
• Knowledge on injection efficiency and thief zones
• Understand how to define different production phases
• Learn how to calculate underground percentage of different production phases
