Acquisition and Interpretation of Modern Open hole Log

This course is suitable for all engineers and technicians dealing with open hole well log data. This would apply to engineers in the various disciplines in the oil companies. Engineers from drilling, reservoir, geology, production, geophysics and Petrophysics departments will benefit from this course. Moreover, engineers and technicians dealing with log processing, log interpretations, data processing and IT engineers dealing with data management and databases will find this course of special benefit.
