    • Practical Training
      • Average client rating (based on 22 attendee reviews)

    This course aims at providing sound fundamentals for both operators and data users to be able to operate Vx meters, understand the process required to properly set it up and validate and troubleshoot data. After an initial introduction to the fundamental principles of the meter, the course will be mostly applied, based on practical operations on the meter and its associated software as well as on hands-on tutorials. This course will  allow participants to gain a sound understanding of the steps required to operate and set-up a Vx meter, as well as an understanding of measurement sensitivity and the various assocaited troubleshooting steps to verify data as well as identify maintenance requirements.

    In addition to the data acquisition, interpretation and validation process, this training will also provide an overview of the precautions required when operating the meter to avoid damage to the meter and importantly to minimize HSE risks.

    The course will be held at SLB's European Learning Center (ELC) training facility in Melun, France.
