    Advanced Formation Evaluation in Carbonates, Clastics and Basement Rock (40H-RILS)

    This remote delivered course covers advanced knowledge and expertise in formation evaluations in carbonates, clastics and basement rock and will be suitable for all geoscientists and engineers, It can be delivered as public or private.  The agenda can customized to for private offerings.

    • Geology of Carbonates and Clastics
    • Core analysis to obtain porosity, and permeability
