
Correlation of subsurface data to well performance to discern trends and recommend follow-up trials or
experiments
Development of interpretation methods for wireline log data in a particular well or formation, and evaluating wells
through application of the method. This can range from screening a new exploration play through in-depth
analysis of data from a producing field.
Example Petrophysics Technology internship projects include:


Using density variations as observed in CT-scans for rock cores recovered from the subsurface to optimize core
