Advanced Well Log Analysis Short-Course
Course Details
This is a course designed for geologists, geophysicists, petroleum engineers and other industry professionals who are interested to learn some advanced log interpretation techniques. The course will teach the techniques and procedures to interpret open and cased hole logs including advanced technologies. At the end of the seminar the participant will be able to perform a full interpretation and will know the uses and applications of several advanced open hole and cased hole logs. Before you enroll in this course, we recommend you take the Basic Log Analysis course.Who Should Attend
Geologists, Geophysicists, Petrophysicists, Petroleum Engineers Petroleum Technicians and other professionals who are interested on a basic Petrophysical interpretation knowledge.
