Petrophysics
Foundations of Petrophysics
A thorough introduction to the principles of petrophysics and how its results feed into reservoir description. Using open hole logs, logging-while-drilling data and core, participants learn to carry out sound quick-look evaluations of porosity, permeability and saturation, and to integrate petrophysical results with geoscience and engineering data.
