Why you need this
Turn petrophysical theory into a Petrel workflow
Knowing the calculations on paper is one thing — running them in Petrel, across multiple wells, with clean reporting output, is another.
Theory into practice
For geoscientists and petrophysicists ready to move from concepts to a hands-on Petrel workflow.
Industry-standard software
A competitive edge for petroleum engineering students building real Petrel experience.
A refresher done properly
For energy professionals who want their automated calculations and multi-well management sharpened up.
What you'll learn
Petrel interface mastery — navigate the petrophysical toolset with confidence
Efficient workspace setup — apply professional log templates across multiple wells at once
Quantitative evaluation — calculate Volume of Shale, Porosity and Water Saturation
Productivity identification — apply petrophysical cutoffs to isolate net pay zones
Data visualization — generate summaries and final template displays for reporting
Requirements
Software — access to Schlumberger Petrel (any recent version)
Prerequisites — basic understanding of geology or petroleum engineering concepts, specifically well logging
Hardware — a dual-monitor setup is recommended for watching lectures while practicing
Who this is for

FAQ
Common questions
Do I need prior Petrel experience?+
A basic understanding of geology or petroleum engineering concepts — specifically well logging — is expected. You don't need prior Petrel experience; the course starts from the interface and dataset.
What software do I need to follow along?+
Access to Schlumberger Petrel (any recent version) is required for the practical exercises. A dual-monitor setup is recommended so you can watch the lectures while practicing.
How long do I have access to the course?+
You keep access to all 9 lessons for as long as the course is hosted, so you can revisit any section whenever you need a refresher.
Is there a certificate on completion?+
Yes — you'll receive a certificate of completion once you've finished all 9 lessons.
What happens once the 90 seats are gone?+
Enrollment closes at the $69 price and reopens at $99 for the next intake — the countdown and seat counter at the top of the page reflect the current status.
