In this interactive and application-focused training course, lasting for five days, participants in the oil industry will gain valuable insights into advanced log interpretation techniques. The course is specifically designed for professionals who regularly work with wireline and/or LWD (Logging While Drilling) logs as part of their daily responsibilities.

Throughout the training course, participants will delve into the principles and techniques of advanced log interpretation. The response of various logging tools will be explored, taking into account their physical principles and their relationship with rock and fluid properties. The course will cover a wide range of open-hole logging technologies, including their primary applications and limitations. Additionally, advanced interpretation methods will be thoroughly discussed, accompanied by numerous examples and exercises encompassing complex lithology interpretation techniques.
