Integrated Formation Evaluation:
Comprehensive Reservoir Workshop of
Carbonate and Clastic Formations

Instructors: Robert E. Maute, Ph.D., Timothy R. McGinley, P.E.
Course Length: 5 DAYS
Course CEUs: 4.0

Course Description
This comprehensive reservoir workshop focuses on refreshing, challenging and stretching the petrophysical skills of the attendees. During this five-day course, participants are taken through a series of lecture/work sessions to increase working knowledge of both old and newer generation wireline logs in both complex carbonate and clastic formations, with the added feature of learning how to integrate all available well data. All generations of logging measurements can be useful but must be carefully quality-controlled to obtain technically accurate results. With the inclusion of mudlog, routine and special core analysis, well testing and drilling characteristics knowledge within an interpretation skill set, participants learn how to dramatically impact their respective company's bottom line.


Who should attend
Exploration and development geologists, reservoir engineers and petrophysicists with limited integration experience.
