Geosteering, Formation
Evaluation and Geology

This Geosteering, Formation Evaluation and Geology training course unlocks the power of modern LWD logging for accurate placement of wells, reservoir description and characterization. LWD is the well logging conveyance choice for many operators drilling exploration and development wells, saving rig time and offering interactive capabilities for drilling trajectory optimisation.

We will dive into how the tools work, their capabilities and limitations, and explore the cutting-edge of real-world applications through interesting examples and case studies, with relevance to anyone acquiring, supervising or working with LWD data whether in Petroleum, Geothermal or scientific drilling fields.

Prerequisites are a general understanding of Petroleum Geology, Drilling and petroleum industry basics.

This PetroKnowledge training course will highlight:

• How MWD and LWD measurements work
• How to acquire good data: Best Practices and QC
• Geosteering technology and methods
• Formation evaluation technology and interpretation
• Borehole Imaging technology and interpretation

At the end of this Geosteering, Formation Evaluation and Geology training course, you will learn to: 

• Understand the measurement principles of all the major MWD/LWD measurements 
• Plan and supervise a successful LWD logging programme
• Apply Geosteering technology, methods and key performance indicators
• Know LWD tool principles, what they measure, how they are used in Formation Evaluation
• Master how LWD images are recorded, and how they are used in borehole geology

This training course should appeal to anyone who needs an introduction to the principles and applications of LWD measurements whether from Oil and Gas Operator Asset teams, Service company personnel with limited prior experience in this field, Researchers or Consultants using LWD data for studies.
