Petrophysics, core analysis and formation evaluation are key disciplines in the oil and gas industry and renewable energy such as geothermal energy. It provides the main source of data on porosity, permeability and fluid saturations in the subsurface. Petrophysics is a crossroad discipline and petrophysicists work closely with geologists and petroleum engineers in exploration and production. This course provides essential information about petrophysics and core analysis and formation evaluation to allow petroleum engineers to interact effectively with geoscientists.

This course provides a background knowledge required for subsurface petrophysical properties and formation core analysis. It looks at the tools available to analyse the lithology and fluid content of a petroleum reservoir and how petrophysicists work with other discipline to estimate hydrocarbon volumes in the subsurface. The course identifies the multiple data sources required for reservoir evaluation, emphasising integration of all available data, potential sources of error and uncertainty within the data. It shows how to relate wireline data to core; gives a solid grounding in the acquisition and evaluation of routine (RCA) and special (SCAL) core analysis datasets; and teaches how to apply these principles to a fully computerised formation evaluation workflow.
