Learning Objectives

  • Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
  • acquire the fundamental principles of Borehole Image Interpretation,
  • apply the methodology to approach the Borehole Image Interpretation,
  • perform BHI data quality control,
  • identify the fractures present in the images, by differentiating them from sedimentary and artificial features,
  • characterize the interpreted fractures in terms of their position, morphology, type, kinematics, orientation and dip angle, using WellCAD™.

Ways & Means

  • Interactive presentations, practical exercises and hands-on activities using software dedicated for BHI interpretation (WellCAD™).
