This interactive, applications-driven 5-day training course
will highlight the techniques and principles of the main open and cased hole
logging tools used in the oil industry for professionals who needs to deal with
wireline logs in their daily job.
This course will
explore the tools response explained from their physical principles as well as
their relationship with the rock and fluid properties, most common open and
cased hole logging technologies will be covered explaining their main
applications and limitations. Interpretation methods will be discussed with
examples and exercises.
