Geophysical Logging & Formation Evaluation

1) Course Introduction

This course covers formation evaluation principles used to determine rock and fluid properties from well logs.

Integrated within the learning process, Seattle International Institute for Training offers practical workflows combining petrophysics, geology, and reservoir analysis for accurate subsurface interpretation.

2) Key Learning Objectives

Participants will learn to:

• Interpret open-hole and cased-hole logs
• Evaluate porosity, permeability, saturation, and lithology
• Integrate logs with core & seismic data
• Perform petrophysical calculations
• Support reservoir development decisions

3) Target Audience

• Petrophysicists
• Reservoir & petroleum engineers
• Geoscientists
• Subsurface analysts

4) Course Importance & Business Impact

Accurate formation evaluation improves reservoir estimation, reduces drilling risks, and supports optimal well placement.

5) Practical Modules / Key Topics

• Log interpretation basics
• Porosity and saturation analysis
• Core-log calibration
• Petrophysical modeling
• Formation evaluation case studies
