      • Average client rating (based on 4 attendee reviews)

    This course is an integrated Wireline Logging course for geoscientists combining theory and practice. It will be held at the SLB Wireline Logging British Training Centre in Livingston, Scotland. The course main objective is to provide exposure to both the practical and theoretical aspects of Wireline Logging data acquisition and applications.

    The theoretical and practical sessions will cover a wide range of tools such as Resistivity, Nuclear, Sonic, Borehole Imaging and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance technology.

    The theoretical part will cover the tool physics, data acquisition procedures, Log Quality Control and a short workshop session on data interpretations.

    The workshop focus will be on interpretations in shaly-sand formations, and various shaly sand equations used to estimate Sw, such as the Waxman-Smits and Dual Water equations.  No special software will be required.

    Logging operations will be done under real conditions in the test wells at the SLB Wireline Logging British Training Center in Scotland. The practical part involves hands-on connecting and running of logging tools in the hole, monitoring depth control, and the normal data acquisition procedure and log quality control.

    The course will be 50% in classroom and 50% on the well pad.

    Personnel Protective Equipment will be required during the practical sessions.
