Angola Well Evaluation Conference

In this book, the World Energy Commission (WEC) examines the exploration for hydrocarbons in Angola from the early 1900s when the first well was drilled. The petroleum geology chapter includes geological maps of Angola and regional geological evolution and basin information. The reservoir geometry section discusses surface seismic methods and interpretation, structural dip and faults, and well testing objectives and methods. A section on formation evaluation offers an in-depth discussion of porosity and lithology, resistivity modeling, permeability, and fracture characterization. The final chapter on completion and production methods highlights cementing and evaluation techniques used in Angola basins, testing hardware, on-site fluid analysis, saturation monitoring, and corrosion monitoring.
