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

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
