Course Description

This course provides an understanding of formation evaluation and well logging techniques. Participants will learn the principles of open-hole wireline logging tools, interpret well logs, and characterize formations based on log data. The course covers essential concepts such as porosity, water saturation, lithology, and hydrocarbon content determination. Additionally, it will explore corrections applied to logging tools, properties of rocks and fluids, and how these factors produce characteristic signals in logging data.
