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
