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 Training Course Will Highlight ?

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
Training Objective

By the end of this course delegates will learn about:

  • The importance of Petrophysics in the workflow of reservoir evaluation and characterization
  • The physical reservoir properties (porosity, saturation, fluids, permeability) required for clastics and carbonate rock evaluation
  • The physical background of well logging methods and the response with respect to reservoir characterization
  • Understand fundamental techniques of log interpretation, learn a quick-look interpretation         

Target Audience
