Techlog Formation Evaluation for the Oil & Gas Industry

INTRODUCTION
This highly interactive training course on Advanced Formation Evaluation, utilising one of the most sophisticated software applications in the oil and gas exploration and production sector, guarantees that participants will acquire a high level of skills and comprehension essential for conducting Formation Evaluation. This involves the analysis of subsurface formation characteristics, such as lithology, porosity, permeability, and saturation, through methods like wireline well logging and core analysis, all facilitated by the Techlog software.

Delegates will gain a strong foundation in Techlog's data model, implement deterministic calculations in the Application Workflow Interface, understand the integration of diverse data sources, enhance interpretation processes, and become proficient in performing day-to-day tasks within the Techlog Suite. Advanced techniques for enhancing analysis results will also be explored.
