Industrial Training DIRECTORATE GENERAL OF HYDROCARBONS 3.06.2019-28.06.2019
Studied Seismic (Acquisition, Processing &Interpretation), Well Logging, Petrophysics, Discovery &Field Development &concept of Volume Estimation with excellent understanding.
Worked on a project:"1D Volume Estimation" and for that gained practical experience on Horizon picking, Seismic-Well tie, Synthetic seismogram generation, Fault picking, Time slicing and Well-log interpretation by using Petrel. Filled up LAS files in ELAN software to create models. Eventually by calculating all petrophysical parameters calculated the OOIP (Oil Originally In Place) which is actually the Volume Estimation of Hydrocarbon.
Industrial Training EASTERN COALFIELDS LIMITED 06.05.2019 - 20.05.2019
Learned basic coal geology, Exploration Techniques, Brief knowledge of CEMPGEODOC Software in Geological Report preparation, Mining Technology and Company Structure.
Visited CMPDI Exploration Site (Gourangdih Block) where we interpreted lithology and made a log from 100 meter drill core samples. Also visited one Opencast Project (Mohanpur OCP in Salanpur Area) and one Underground Project (Chinakuri-I UG).
