Well Log Data Management

Well Log Data Quality Control

Course Overview

Effective well log data management is critical to maximizing the value of subsurface data for exploration, reservoir characterization, and field development. With the increasing volume and complexity of digital well logs, professionals require robust skills in handling, organizing, interpreting, and safeguarding these datasets. This Well Log Data Management training course provides a comprehensive approach to data governance, quality control, and application of well log data in decision-making.

This Energy Training Centre training course will highlight: 

  • Fundamentals of well log data types and formats
  • Industry standards for data acquisition, storage, and exchange (LAS, DLIS, WITSML)
  • Best practices in data validation, QC, and integration
  • Tools and workflows for efficient log data management
  • Challenges in digital transformation and data governance
  • Application of well log data in reservoir evaluation and modelling
  • Data lifecycle management from acquisition to archival

Course Objectives

The main goal of this training course is to provide participants with the knowledge and skills to manage well log data effectively across its lifecycle, from acquisition and storage to quality control, integration, and application. By learning about different well log types, formats, and metadata, participants will build a strong foundation for ensuring data accuracy, accessibility, and long-term usability. 

In addition, the Well Log Data Management training course focuses on practical competencies in applying industry standards and best practices, such as LAS, DLIS, and WITSML formats, as well as QC and depth-matching techniques. Participants will gain confidence in handling complex datasets, supporting multidisciplinary projects, and contributing to reliable subsurface evaluations. This will enhance both individual capabilities and organizational performance by reducing risks, minimizing costs, and improving reservoir characterization and development planning. 

By the end of this training course, participants will learn to: 

  • Identify different well log data types and their uses
  • Apply international standards for well log data storage and transfer
  • Implement workflows for QC and validation of log data
  • Manage data efficiently using industry-recognized tools
  • Integrate well log data into multidisciplinary reservoir models
  • Recognize the organizational value of structured data management

Training Methodology

The Well Log Data Management training course will be delivered through a blend of interactive lectures, real-world case studies, and guided discussions to reinforce key concepts. Practical exercises using sample well log datasets will provide hands-on experience with data management and quality control techniques. Participants will engage in group activities to encourage collaboration and knowledge sharing. Demonstrations of industry tools will showcase practical applications. Quizzes and knowledge checks will ensure understanding and promote active learning throughout the training.
