Petrophysics for Drilling Engineers
Course Description
Petrophysics is a key discipline in petroleum exploration and production. This course covers wireline logging, MWD-LWD and their specific applications for wellbore stability. This course will be suitable for all drilling engineers, directional drillers and other geoscientists associated with drilling.

The main objectives of this course are to understand:

  • The petrophysical properties and corresponding logging methods
  • The fundamentals of log interpretation and formation evaluation
  • The link between Petrophysics and seismic reservoir characterization tools
