"50 Years Of Continuous Petrophysical Experience, At Your Service"

COURSE SUMMARY
This course covers all topics needed to understand how petrophysical data is acquired in the field and in the laboratory. Topics include wireline logging, logging while drilling, measurement while drilling, mud logging, coring, conventional and special core analysis, as well as more exotic work such as thin section petrography and X-ray diffraction. Special techniques for total organic carbon, coal, coal bed methane, gas shale and oil shale are described. Numerous examples are used to illustrate results from lab reports.

COURSE DURATION
1 day - 8 Professional Development Hours (PDH)

COURSE LEVEL
Beginner to Intermediate, calculator required.

REFERENCE MANUAL
Course manuals are included in course fee, or can be ordered separately.
