Cement Integrity (DRI43)
28 Sep-1 Oct 2020 4 days London, United KingdomCourse Fee: 2950 EUR + VAT
Description
Cement log interpretation is often left to the logging company. There is very little input from the cementing engineers. So the decision to do an eventual remedial job is very often difficult to take. The objective of this course is to give the drilling engineer / company man / fluid specialist the knowledge required to challenge the log interpretation for a wiser decision on hypothetical remedial jobs.
