    Applied Reservoir Petrophysical Characterization - Integrated Petrophysics - 5 Day Version

    This Applied Reservoir Petrophysics course can be customized to fit the needs of a client and delivered in 5 days. Course participants make 3 presentations during APRC Course. It is common that workshops, case studies and group discussions account for 30 to 40% of the classroom time. The content of this course is based on NExT/SLB professional petrophysical technical papers presented between 2012 and 2020. The delivery schedule included in the description is an example, the actual contents can be adjusted for the client's specific purpose.   This course can be delivered using remote virtual methods or via a traditional classroom.
