ONLINE: Open Hole and LWD Interpretation Principles and Applications (PPH933)
27-29 July 2020 3 days Virtual instructor-led course, OnlineCourse Fee: 1350 EUR + VAT
Description
This interactive, applications-driven course will highlight the techniques and principles of well log interpretation for oil industry professionals who deal with wireline and/or LWD logs in their daily job.
The course will explore the tools response explained from their physical principles as well as their relationship with the rock and fluid properties; most existing open hole logging technologies will be covered explaining their main applications and limitations. Advanced interpretation methods will be discussed with numerous examples and exercises including complex lithology interpretation techniques.
This training course will feature:
Course Duration: 3 modules of max. 4 hours each, delivered over 3 days
Each day will consist of 1 module which will be no more than 4 hours in length with ample time for delegates to break for refreshments.
Course Level: Foundation / Skill
Instructor: Angel Meso

How we build your confidence
This training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The sessions will be given in real time through live webinars (instructor-led training); some exercises will be executed during the sessions, others will be done as homework. The daily sessions will be highly interactive and participative. This involves regular discussions of applications as well as hands-on exercises that will be solved manually and/or using Microsoft Excel.The benefits from attending
