Well Logging

1. Mention two properties which well logging measure! (Answer: fluid property and rock
property)
2. In caliper interpretation, mention a condition that makes mud cake! (Answer: d caliper < d bit)
3. Which one of the following: Salt water, Gas, Fresh water, Oil has the greatest resistivity?
(Answer: Gas)
4. The bulk density is the weighted sum of the matrix and fluid densities. Write the formula of bulk
density in function of porosity? (Answer: 𝝆𝒃𝒖𝒍𝒌 = (𝟏 − ∅)𝝆𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒙 + ∅𝝆𝒇𝒍𝒖𝒊𝒅 )
5. What time interval does sonic log measure to calculate porosity? (Answer: transit time)
6. Look at the following chart:

That X factor is caused by? (Answer: Clays/ Shale)

7. Spontaneous potential (SP) response is based on the value between Rmf (mud filtrate) and Rw
(formation water). Mention a condition that makes SP response reversed! (Answer: Rmf < Rw)
8. Look at the chart below:

The constant F is decrease as value of Rw increase. What kind of formation does match this
condition? (Answer: Shaly sand)
9. Higle plot is a method to calculate? (Answer: Rw)
10. We can use resistivity of mud measured at surface to calculate resistivity of mud in formation
temperature. What is the name of the formula do we use? (Answer: Arps formula)
Drilling Engineering

1. What is the name of a test to determine fracture gradient and evaluate cement integrity? (Answer:
Leak of test)
2. The time available to place a slurry before it becomes too thick to pump is called? (Answer:
Thickening Time)
3. Cement additives that reduce slurry density and increase slurry yield are called (Answer:
Extenders)
4. When the dry clay is placed into fresh water with no agitation, the packets adsorb water, hydrate,
and swell. Upon agitation, the swollen packets disintegrate into individual plates or smaller
packets of plates. This is called? (Answer: Disepersion)
5. A large BOP valve that forms a seal in the annular space between the wellbore and the drillpipe
and it is usually installed above the ram type preventers in the BOP stack is called? (Answer:
Annular preventer)
6. One of the coordinates used to plot the path of the well on the horizontal plane (along the x axis)
was called? (Answer: Departure)
7. What is the process by which fluids are sucked into the borehole, from the formation, when the
drillstring is being pulled out of hole (Answer: Swabbing)
8. If dial reading at 300 rpm on fann VG is 77 and 103 at 600 rpm, determine yield point of the mud
(in cp)! (Answer: 51 cp)
9. Kick occur while drilling! Driller record that SIDPP = 480 psi, SICP = 600 psi, pit volume gain
35 bbl, TVD = 10.000 ft. If original mud weight is 9,6 ppg, how much (in ppg) kill mud weight
should be given to overcome this kick with driller method? (Answer: 10,8 ppg)
10. Determine the equivalent mud weight at 12.000 ft depth and pressure 8424 psi of the formation!
(Answer: 13,5 ppg)
