This course teaches you the use and limitations of a variety of production logging tools including spinner, temperature, noise, fluid injections and others tools.   You will learn what results these tools yield, the interpretation assumptions that are integral to their designs, and how quality is affected by the acquisition process.  You will also learn the fundamentals of production log interpretation with hands-on examples and an in-class workshop on interpreting single and two phase flow using production logs.  You will learn how production logs can be used for the measurement of 3 phase fluid flow.
