About the Course
Operating in mature or complex production environments requires continuous diagnostics to monitor fluid movement, evaluate barrier performance, and prevent unexpected downhole failures. Our Cased Hole Log Interpretation Training Course addresses these technical challenges by equipping subsurface and production professionals with advanced skills in processing and analyzing cased hole logging data. Guided by petrophysical and well integrity specialists, participants examine the core mechanics of production logging tools (PLT), pulsed neutron capture (PNC) logs, and cement bond logging (CBL/VDL) suites. By combining petrophysical theory with hands-on evaluation techniques, this program prepares engineers to diagnose fluid dynamics, verify zonal isolation, plan targeted well interventions, and optimize overall hydrocarbon recovery throughout the well lifecycle.
