Petrophysics & Formation Evaluation
Sector:
Oil and Gas - Upstream/Production
Technical Focus Area:
Subsurface & Flow
About the Course
This course provides a detailed grounding in petrophysics and formation evaluation, equipping participants to interpret open-hole logs and translate raw log data into reliable estimates of porosity, saturation, and permeability. It builds on basic reservoir engineering knowledge and is aimed at professionals who work directly with subsurface data.
Participants examine standard wireline logging tools, core-log integration workflows, and the specific evaluation challenges posed by complex lithologies such as shaly sands and carbonates. Hands-on exercises reinforce how petrophysical interpretation feeds directly into reserves estimation, completion design, and reservoir modeling decisions.
Learning Milestones
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Interpret standard wireline log suites for formation evaluation.
- Calculate porosity and water saturation using industry-standard equations.
- Integrate core and log data for reservoir quality assessment.
- Identify pay zones and net-to-gross ratios from log data.
- Recognize log response in complex lithologies.
- Apply quality control checks to petrophysical interpretations.
- Communicate petrophysical results to reservoir and drilling teams.
Professional Audience
This course is ideal for professionals working with subsurface and formation data, including:
- Petrophysicists and log analysts
