Course Description

Introduction


As the oil and gas industry moves toward greater efficiency and precision, advanced geosteering plays a crucial role in achieving accurate well placement and reservoir management. This course offers professionals a robust framework for applying advanced geosteering principles, focusing on interpreting data from LWD, integrating subsurface data, and real-time adjustments in well trajectory. Participants will leave with a comprehensive toolkit for optimizing geosteering practices in diverse geological environments.
