COURSE OVERVIEW
PetroTeach and PSS-Geo are pleased to announce this three-day intensive course, offering a unique opportunity for geologists and petrophysicists to gain both theoretical and practical insight into geophysics. Through numerous practical examples and hands-on exercises, participants will develop a strong understanding of applied geophysics within the oil and gas industry.
This three-day training program focuses on the application of geophysical attributes to validate and refine geological models, with an individualized approach tailored to participants’ backgrounds and experience. The training methodology combines lectures, interactive discussions, real field case exercises, and practical demonstrations to ensure an engaging and effective learning experience.
