I recently completed a course in Formation Evaluation. Formation Evaluation is an essential part of the oil and gas exploration and development process. Its purpose is to collect and analyze data from rocks and reservoirs to determine the presence and quantities of hydrocarbons (oil and gas). Formation evaluation is used to estimate reservoir properties, such as porosity, permeability, and fluid saturation. One of the main ways to collect this data is through open hole logging. Open Hole Logging Open hole logging is done after a well is drilled and before it is cased, and is used to record the physical and chemical properties of rocks and fluids in the reservoir. There are several types of logging tools that are lowered into the well to collect different data. These tools include: 1) Resistivity Logs They measure the resistance of rocks and fluids to electricity. Rocks that contain salt water are less resistive, while rocks saturated with hydrocarbons are more resistive. This can help determine whether the rocks contain oil or gas. 2) Nuclear Logs Density Log: Measures the density of rocks and can help determine porosity, which is a good indicator of the volume of hydrocarbons that a reservoir may hold. Neutron Log: Measures the interaction of neutrons with hydrogen in fluids. Helps determine fluid saturation and pore space in rocks. 3) Acoustic Logs Measures the speed of sound waves passing through rocks. This data can be used to determine the hardness and mechanical properties of rocks, as well as to estimate porosity. 4) Natural Gamma Ray Log: Measures the natural radiation from rocks, which is typically high in clay rocks and low in sand and limestone. Helps identify the types of rocks in a well and identify layers that may contain hydrocarbons. Data Analysis After data is collected from open well logs, it is analyzed using advanced software and tools to determine the key characteristics of the reservoir. The analysis relies on integrating information from various logs to provide a comprehensive picture of the geological formation and mechanical and physical properties of rocks. Porosity: Refers to the size of the pores or voids in rocks. Rocks with high porosity are able to store larger amounts of oil or gas. Fluid Saturation: Determines the percentage of fluids in the pores, whether water, oil, or gas. Permeability: Determines how easily fluids flow through rocks. Rocks with high permeability facilitate the extraction of oil and gas. Importance of Open Log Open logs are a crucial step in well evaluation, providing accurate information about the potential productivity of the reservoir and determining whether the rocks contain economically recoverable hydrocarbons. This information helps oil companies make informed decisions about field development and drilling production wells. SLB Weatherford Halliburton Baker Hughes bp Eni Shell Antonoil COSL OilSERV

I have recently completed and finished a full course on directional drilling and the potential of using machine learning and artificial intelligence in this field. Directional Drilling is a technique in the field of oil and gas drilling that allows wells to be drilled at an angle or curve instead of drilling vertically. This technique is used to reach oil or gas reservoirs that may be unavailable or difficult to access through traditional vertical drilling. Directional drilling is important in applications that require avoiding underground obstacles, such as hard geological layers or sensitive environmental areas, or to increase the yield of oil and gas reservoirs by drilling multiple branch wells. Components and stages of directional drilling: 1. Planning and design: Directional drilling requires careful planning to determine the desired path of the wells. Computer programs are used to design the optimal path for the hole, taking into account geological and technical factors. 2. Directional drilling equipment: - Steerable Drill Bit: Used to control the direction of drilling. It relies on a specific guidance system that allows the angle of drilling to be changed. - Bent Sub: A piece of equipment installed near the drill, and helps tilt the tools towards the desired direction. - Measurement While Drilling (MWD): A technology that allows measuring and guiding the hole during the drilling process using measuring tools installed inside the equipment. 3. Angled Drilling: The process begins with vertical drilling until the desired depth is reached. Then, the curved collar and the directional drill are used to start changing the drilling angle. The hole can be drilled at a gradual angle until the horizontal direction or any other desired angle is reached. 4. Drilling Control: Using technologies such as MWD and precision guidance systems, the drilling team can control the path of the hole, and adjust the angle continuously to ensure reaching the specified target. Directional Drilling Challenges: - Path Control: It requires expertise and advanced equipment to ensure that the path follows the specified design. - Cost: Directional drilling costs may be higher than traditional vertical drilling, but the return can be higher due to increased productivity. Modern Technologies: Thanks to technological advances, directional drilling equipment and systems have evolved to become more accurate and efficient. Artificial intelligence and modern sensor systems are used to improve directional accuracy and reduce operational costs.

Our participation in the scientific course of the Oil Research Center Adaptive GeoEnergy in cooperation with the Engineers Syndicate, which took the title of gas injection.. It was presented by Dr. Watheq Al-Mudhafar. Watheq Al-Mudhafar, PhD 1. Optimizing the use of gas to improve oil recovery (Enhanced Oil Recovery - EOR): Enhancing oil recovery is a technique used to increase the amount of oil extracted from reservoirs that may have reached the end of their primary or secondary production cycle. Gas is used in this process in several ways, including: - Gas injection: Gases such as carbon dioxide (CO₂), natural gas, or other gases are injected into the reservoir. This injection can help reduce the viscosity of the oil and make it easier to flow to production wells. - CO₂ injection: Carbon dioxide injection is one of the most effective enhanced oil recovery techniques. Carbon dioxide at a certain pressure helps dissolve the oil in the reservoir, which improves its mobility and increases production. In addition, this solution is useful because it contributes to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by trapping it in deep geological layers. 2. Geological Sequestration and Environmental Protection: Geological sequestration of gases is an innovative technology to reduce the environmental impact of greenhouse gas emissions. This technology involves capturing harmful gases such as CO₂ and pumping them into geological layers underground for permanent storage. This process helps to: - Mitigating climate change: By reducing the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere, communities can mitigate the effects of global warming. - Utilizing spent oil reservoirs: Depleted oil and gas fields can be used as sites for storing carbon dioxide, enhancing the value of these fields even after their productive life has ended. 3. Power Generation: The gas left over from enhanced oil recovery and geological capture operations can be used to generate power. Natural gas, for example, is a clean and efficient source of energy, and represents an important alternative to traditional energy sources such as coal. - Natural gas: It can be burned in power plants to generate relatively clean energy, as it produces less carbon dioxide emissions than coal and oil. - Gases captured in EOR operations: They can be used to generate power by converting them into electricity, reducing waste and increasing resource efficiency. Environmental and economic benefits: - Environmental protection: The use of gas in these processes reduces greenhouse gas emissions and enhances environmental sustainability. - Improving the economy: It helps to enhance oil production and generate energy in a more efficient manner, which contributes to achieving additional profits and reducing dependence on energy imports.

Very happy to finish a new course on Drill String Vibration . and got a perfect score on the end of course exam. Drill String Vibration , or drill string vibration, is a common problem that occurs during oil and gas well drilling operations. These vibrations can significantly affect drilling performance and increase drilling costs and time, if not controlled. There are three main types of vibrations that may occur in the drill string: 1. Axial Vibration : Also known as reciprocating vibrations or "Bit Bounce", this occurs when the drill string moves vertically repeatedly. This movement can cause the Bottom Hole Assembly to repeatedly hit the rocks, causing rapid wear of the tools and reducing drilling efficiency. 2. Lateral Vibration : These vibrations occur when the drill string moves from side to side. They can erode the walls of the well and also increase the chance of the drill string breaking due to high friction and wear. 3. Torsional Vibration : These vibrations are caused by sudden changes in torque along the drilling shaft. They can lead to what is known as "Stick-Slip", where the drilling shaft stops suddenly and then rotates at high speed, increasing the chances of damage and breakage of the tools. # Causes of Drill Shaft Vibrations 1. Drilling tools interaction with rocks : Uneven interaction between the drill bit and the rocks generates unequal forces on the drill shaft. 2. Drill shaft imbalance : Uneven weight distribution along the drill shaft can cause vibrations. 3. Sudden changes in torque : This occurs when the drill bit encounters hard rocks or cracks, leading to sudden changes in speed and torque. 4. High rotational speed : Excessive speed can lead to increased lateral and torsional vibrations. # Vibration Damage - Drilling Equipment Damage : Increased vibrations can lead to faster wear and tear of equipment and damage to tools, requiring frequent replacement. - Negative Impact on Drilling Efficiency : Vibrations reduce the efficiency of energy transfer from the ground surface to the drill bit, increasing the time required to drill a well. - Drilling Rod Breakage : Severe vibrations can lead to a break in the drilling rod, a serious problem that may require stopping drilling for a long time. # How to Treat Vibrations 1. Use Dampers : These tools reduce longitudinal and lateral vibrations and help stabilize the drilling rod. 2. Improving Drilling Rod Design : Drilling rod design can be improved by using well-balanced tools and reducing weak points. 3. Improving Drilling Conditions : Adjusting drilling parameters such as rotational speed, mud pressure, and torque to reduce vibrations. 4. Use of Sensing and Analysis Tools : Sensing technology can help monitor and analyze vibrations continuously, allowing immediate decisions to be made to improve drilling performance. Effectively monitoring and controlling vibration can improve drilling operation efficiency SLB Weatherford Halliburton bp Eni

During Drilling Well Control Course: Of course. “Well Control” in the oil and gas industry deals with how to manage and control the conditions below the surface while drilling a well. Well control management includes important fundamentals to ensure the safety of the process and to preserve the environment. Here are the basic details about “Well Control”: 1. Reasons for Losing Well Control: - Pressure Overload:Occurs when the pressure in the well is higher than the pressure applied to the drilling fluid. - Sudden Flow:May cause an increase in the pressure of gas or fluids inside the well. - Blowouts:May result from unexpected interactions between fluids and gases. 2. Control Tools and Techniques: - Blowout Preventer (BOP):A device used to control the flow of fluids and gases when problems occur. It is installed on the wellhead and acts as a barrier to prevent unwanted flow. - Wellhead Equipment:Includes a set of tools that are mounted on the wellhead to control pressure and prevent leaks. - Choke and Kill Lines:Lines used to control the flow of fluids and gases in a well. They help control pressure and direct fluids to a suitable reservoir. 3. Control Techniques: - Pressure Control:Involves the use of tools such as BOP to maintain pressure within a safe range. - Kill Techniques: Procedures such as rapid injection of fluids to reduce pressure inside the well and restore control. 4. Emergency Procedures: - Emergency Response Plan:There should be clear plans to deal with emergencies such as blowouts or leaks. - Personnel Training:All personnel should be trained on how to deal with emergencies and learn about safety procedures. 5. Documentation and Recording: - Data Monitoring:** Involves the continuous collection and recording of data on pressure, fluid flow, and well conditions. - **Documentation:** Maintain a detailed record of the techniques used and any emergencies that occur. Well Control is a vital process in drilling operations to ensure safety and efficiency, focusing on avoiding potential problems and dealing with them effectively if they arise.

I am pleased to announce that I have completed the oil well sizing course.. Oil well sizing is a process that aims to enhance the stability of wells, prevent fluid leakage, and maintain a balanced flow of oil. This process is carried out after drilling the well and before production begins. The steps for sizing wells usually include: 1. Preparing the cementing fluid : The cementing fluid is prepared, which consists of a mixture of cement, water, and chemical additives to improve its properties such as strength and density. 2. Cement injection : The cement mixture is pumped through pipes inside the well until it reaches the gaps between the well walls and the metal pipes. 3. Cementing and drying : After pumping the cement, it is left to harden and dry, which ensures that the pipes are fixed in place and prevents oil or gas leakage. 4. Quality tests : Tests are conducted to ensure the quality of the cementing process and to ensure that there are no leaks. 5. Ensuring the safety of the well : After the cementing process, the well is inspected to ensure its stability and readiness for production. These steps contribute to protecting the environment and ensuring efficient and safe oil extraction operations. AHMED QASSIM SLB Halliburton Weatherford
