This interactive, applications-driven course will highlight the techniques and principles of formation evaluation for oil industry professionals dealing with wireline and/or LWD logs in their job environment. The course will explore the tools response to different lithologies and will help you understand log readings, applications and limitations. It will instruct you with the basic Petrophysical concepts as well as the log interpretation techniques and procedures for the correct evaluation of well logs on clean and shaly sand formations.

This training course will utilize a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The sessions will include visual, auditory and kinesthetic elements to cover the three different learning modalities. The daily sessions will be highly interactive and participative. This involves regular discussion of applications as well as hands-on exercises that will be solved manually and/or using Microsoft Excel.

Who Should Attend?

Geologists, Geophysicists, Petrophysicist, Petroleum, Reservoir and Drilling Engineers and in general, any other oil and gas industry professional who is involved in logging data interpretation and validation.
