In-House Courses, 5 days or 3 days tailored

In-House Courses are available directly from the author. These courses provide strictly relevant, practical value, being taught by an experienced and active petrophysical consultant rather than an academic.

Participants should bring a laptop computer with MS Excel for practicals

All “Integrated Petrophysics..” courses are condensed packages of powerful integration techniques which are appreciated on all levels, from novice to technical staff with 20+ years experience (Testimonials).  These courses result from a PhD in petrophysical integration, Amoco staff petrophysicist experience, 25 years of petrophysical technical consulting and an ongoing passionate interest in petrophysics.  Techniques have been successfully adopted by numerous operating companies, from large multinationals (Statoil, Chevron, Repsol, Woodside) to numerous small operators and consulting companies.  25 years of natural selection from 60+ consulting projects means these courses are more than just academic learning – they address the real world needs of energy company staff.

Course content may be tailored to your specification or amalgamated from the “Detailed Contents” list of different petrophysics courses.
