Course Introduction:

Open hole logging is a critical component of formation evaluation in the oil and gas industry, providing valuable subsurface data for reservoir characterization and decision-making. This training course focuses on the fundamental principles and applications of Basic Open Hole Tools, covering key logging measurements such as resistivity, porosity, density, and sonic logging. By understanding how these tools operate and interpret their data, professionals can improve hydrocarbon identification and optimize well planning.

This 5-day theoretical training program will provide participants with in-depth knowledge of basic open hole tools, their measurement principles, and their applications in formation evaluation. Through interactive lectures and industry case studies, attendees will learn how to analyze logging data, understand tool limitations, and apply best practices for accurate subsurface assessments. By the end of the course, participants will be well-equipped to interpret open hole logging results effectively for reservoir evaluation and well completion strategies.
