INTEGRATED PETROPHYSICS COURSES
We offer practical, no-nonsense In-House courses on a variety of topics. Each seminar is supported by a full colour Reference Manual and visual presentation with practical exercises. Choose from the list below. Mix and match or customized sessions are available. We sell solutions, not logging tools.

As a low cost alternative, Crain's Integrated Petrophysics AV Courses include narrated PowerPoint slides, exercises, and full colour PDF Reference Manuals, and Excel Spreadsheets. Narration simulates a live, in-house course presentation. A Certificate of Proficiency is awarded upon completion of assignments.

These lectures are time-tested in major and independent oil companies, service companies, and government agencies around the world, and are backed by 50 years of worldwide  experience. These practical, no-nonsense, courses are intended for personal study at work or at home. Workload is at 3rd or 4th year University level. No prior knowledge of logs is required, but some facility with basic math is an asset.

You can run the slide shows at your own speed, repeat individual slides, pause to read more in the supplied Reference Manuals, have a coffee, feed the baby, or check your email - you can plan your time to suit your personal situation. The material is also suitable for a structured environment such as In-House Training or
Tech School / University settings.
