Principles of IP™

AimsWhether you’re new to Petrophysics software or just new to IP, our instructor led Principles of IP course develops the skills necessary to make full use of IPs Platform Basic functions.

Beginning from first principles, we familiarise users with Database structure, Data Input and Output, Calcula-tions and Corrections, Depth shifting, creating Interpre-tations and Multi-well Interpretations & processing.

Our course also outlines fundamental Petrophysical Principles such as Clay Volume estimation, Porosity calculations and Water Saturation determination.

BenefitsLearn from the team that write, support and design IP. Our training is delivered by experts who use the software daily and bring their detailed understanding to you.

Throughout the course we’re “hands-on” with IP, employing real-world examples and industry-based exercises to guide the experience in a broad Petrophysical workflow.

Who should attendIdeally suited to those new to IP or new to Petrophysics software. Our course caters to Petrophysicists, Geologists, Reservoir Engineers and Technical Assistants with varying levels of experience.

We optionally offer a Fundamentals of IP course perfectly suited to Data Managers. Our Fundamentals course covers basic data handling and database construction as outlined in Modules 1-5 overleaf.

Duration - 4 days (2 days for Data Management only)

Course instructorThis course will be presented by LR-Senergy instructors either from our Senior Support staff or Petrophysics team.
