Introduction

In the E&P business, integrated petroleum engineering studies and field development 
plans are management tools which are used to maximize economic recovery of 
hydrocarbons. Petrophysical engineers fulfill a key role in analyzing and interpreting 
subsurface reservoir data, which form the basis for reservoir models. E&P technical staff 
and team leaders involved in integrated studies require more than general skills in 
petrophysical and interpretation techniques to produce quality input to development 
plans.

Objective

At the end of the training course, participants will:

• Ensure the consistent application of reliable petrophysical inputs to enhance oil recovery strategies.
• Develop a thorough understanding of rock characteristics and pore structure.
• Leverage the integration of reservoir and petrophysical data to optimize the economic extraction of hydrocarbons.
• Gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience in calculating total and effective porosity.
• Explore and comprehend the latest advancements and technologies in well logging methods.
• Build expertise in evaluating permeability and assessing overall rock quality.
• Apply integrated analysis of core data and open-hole log interpretations.
• Engage with real-world examples and case-based learning to reinforce practical skills and decision-making.

Audience

Petro physicists, Geologists, Geophysicists, Engineers and Log interpreters.

Methodology

The training course will be highly participatory and the course leader will present, guide 
and facilitate learning, using a range of methods including formal presentation, discussions, sector-specific case studies and exercises. Above all, the course leader will 
make extensive use of real-life case examples in which he has been personally involved. 
You will also be encouraged to raise your own questions and to share in the development 
of the right answers using your own analysis and experiences. Tests of multiple-choice 
type will be made available on daily basis to examine the effectiveness of delivering the 
course.
