Training
Practical Oil Sands Core Logging Workshop (one day or two days):
Dates: 8:00AM – 4:30PM on October 7-8, 2015 (Wendesday to Thursday). Day 1: Comprehensive Introduction and Some Practices; Day 2: More practices focussing on core description. Students can choose one day or two days.
Instructor: Dr. Greg Hu, Loring Tarcore Labs Ltd.
Fees: One day: $675 + 5% GST; Two days: $975.00 + %5 GST. The fees include lunch, materials, use of computer and core logging software. Students who are hired by us after training will receive 100% reimburment of the workshop fees. There might be some core logging geologist positions open starting December, 2015. Please note that taking the workshops does not guarantee hiring for the positions.
Location: Loring Tarcore Labs Ltd., 6835 – 8 St NE, Calgary. The workshops are refined from popular, in-house workshops that are offered to some oil sands companies. They emphasize “hand-on” and “practical”. Any one will find it informative, inspiring, and practical: whether you are a geological advisor, project geologist, or newly-gradurated students who want to get a foot into oil sands.
Topics include:
- Common depth markers: marker types and their core and log expressions
- Principles of core depth correction
- Common oil sands facies and their core and log signatures
- Identification of common ichnofacies on core and their significance in facies interpretation
- Wabiskaw-McMurray stratigraphy and their depositional model evolution
- Common core sample types for lab testings and general sample selection guidelines
- Core depth correction: core-based vs image-based with software assistance
- Oil Sands lab tour
About the instructor: Dr. Hu is a co-founder and CEO of Loring Tarcore Labs Ltd.. As an oil sands veteran with extensive experience in core logging, especially oil sands core, he intvents a patent of DIGITAL CORE WORKFLOW METHOD USING DIGITAL CORE IMAGES. Based on the patent, he designs digital-core-image-based core logging softare TarCore and integrates it into lab processes to build highly-efficient lab workflow for large-volume core handling and testing.
