Practical Interpretation of Open Hole Logs - A week-long program for geologists and engineers
Practical Interpretation of Open Hole Logs - A week-long program for geologists and engineersWhen interpreted correctly, well logs can give the amount and location of hydrocarbons. Through this introductory courses participants will be introduced to understanding and basic interpretation techniques needed to interpret open hole well logs. Both quick-look qualitative interpretations and more rigorous quantitative interpretations are covered.
A hands-on, non-technical program
The course is generic in technical scope, no specific software is used. Equations are solved by hand with a calculator. Both the theory and practice of practical, applied interpretation are covered as well as practical advice, applied exercises, discussions and the study of actual logs.
