Open-Hole Log Analysis


Candidates:

Junior geologists, geophysicists, engineers or anyone interested in understanding principles of open-hole logs and applications.

Summary:

Logs provide valuable data to identify and characterize the formations crossed by the borehole. The objective of the course is to provide hands on training on the concept and response of logging tools. Participant will develop an appreciation for the limitations and constrains of the borehole environment on the validity of the recorded log data.
