Petrophysics of Unconventional Reservoirs
This course addresses the petrophysical evaluation of unconventional resources such as tight gas sands, shale gas and coal-bed methane, drawing together related geoscience and engineering disciplines. Participants should already have some familiarity with areas such as log analysis, core analysis, rock mechanics or hydraulic fracturing.
