Advanced Well Log Interpretation

Well logs provide an intricate documentation of geological formations penetrated by a borehole. These records represent critical and valuable data collected at various stages of a well's lifecycle, crucial for determining the petrophysical characteristics that ascertain the reservoir's economic worth. Consequently, the methodologies applied in analyzing and interpreting well logs are fundamental for the identification of hydrocarbon extraction potentials.

This Advanced Well Log Interpretation training course is meticulously designed to cover the entire spectrum of well logging, from the fundamental principles and tools involved in well log interpretation to the intricate techniques required for analyzing complex geological formations.
