All “Integrated Petrophysics..” courses are condensed packages of powerful integration techniques which are appreciated on all levels from novice to highly experienced staff petrophysicists and in-house petrophysical technical experts. These courses results from an Imperial College PhD in Petrophysical Integration; being an Amoco Staff Petrophysicist and 25+ years of petrophysical technical consulting and an ongoing passionate interest in petrophysics (Linkedin). The techniques explained in these courses have been adopted by numerous operating companies as “best practice” from large multinationals (Statoil, Chevron, Repsol, BP, Woodside) to numerous small operators and consulting companies. 25 years of natural selection from 65+ in-depth consulting projects means these courses are much more than academic learning – they are a distillation of 30+ years of petrophysical excellence designed to address the real world needs of energy company staff.
