Formation Evaluation Training Course

This short course is intended for all technical professionals in the oil and gas industry, including trainee petroleum engineers, petrophysicists, geoscientists, and operations personnel who need an introduction to technical theory and techniques used in log interpretation and formation evaluation.

Upon completion of this course, participants will gain an understanding of the concepts of formation evaluation and well logging; an understanding of the physical principles of the tools used in openhole wireline logging; be able to read and interpret well logs; be able to characterise formations based on interpretation of well logs; an understanding of the various corrections applied to the logging tools; ability to discern porosity, water saturation, lithology, and hydrocarbon content from well logs; an understanding of the properties of rocks and fluids that produce characteristic signals.

*Trainee petroleum engineers *Petrophysicists *Reservoir engineers *Geoscientists *Production engineers *Operations personnel
