Wellsite Geology & Operations (GEO71)
Description
A large amount of geological data is acquired (at substantial cost) during a drilling operation. Ensuring optimal quality of this information and effective reporting plays a key role during well design, drilling operations and the later use of the data in field studies.
A key requirement for success is close co-operation between geological, drilling and well engineering departments.
Course Level: Foundation
Duration: 5 days
Instructor: Alice Post
