Wireline Formation Testing and Interpretation
Formation testing and sampling tools, run on wireline or while drilling, are now central to evaluation in high-cost, high-value exploration and development projects. The course covers how these tools work, how to plan and quality control a test programme, and how to interpret pressure and sampling data for fluid contacts, connectivity and compartmentalisation.
