You will gain all the confidence you need to understand and interpret all the basic open-hole logs.

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

• • Understand and  recognize all the basic logs
  • Know what they are measuring 
  • Learn how to read them, recognize all the common rock types
  • Identify hydrocarbon zones, calculate porosity and water saturations
  • Have confidence in your choice of interpretation parameters

Geologists, Geophysicists, Geomechanics Engineers, Drilling Engineers, Production Engineers, Completion Engineers, Reservoir Engineers, Petrophysicists, Petroleum Engineers, Exploration Supervisors and managers concerned with the Geomechanics challenges of field development and exploration, Supervisors and managers concerned with wellbore stability, Technicians and Managers who are exposed to open-hole logs in their daily work
