Course Description
Important for drillers and operators, well logs are measurements acquired at specific depths of the well that identify subsurface formations. Based on a log, the well log started as a journal of depth versus the type of formation, effective drilling muds and different drill bits required to move through the formation. Open hole logging refers to logging operations that are performed on a well before the wellbore has been cased and cemented. In other words, the logging is done through the bare rock sides of the formation. This is the most common type of logging method because the measurements are not obstructed and it's done during or after the well has been drilled. Although some experience with reading logs is an advantage, this course is ideal for anyone who has no prior knowledge or experience, especially newcomers to the oil industry.
