Formation Evaluation (Well Logging) & Well Engineering

Formation evaluation is used in petroleum exploration and development to determine a borehole's ability to produce petroleum. It is essentially the process of "recognizing a commercial well when drilling one." The investigation of subsurface formation properties such as lithology, porosity, permeability, and saturation using methods like wireline well logging and core analysis is known as formation evaluation.

Pore pressure, kick tolerance, casing functions, casing design, and cementing are the main components of well engineering. Drilling and petroleum engineering are sometimes addressed.

Well engineers can experiment with different methods of drilling into oil reservoirs to ensure that all available reserves are extracted. A well engineer is a licensed professional who designs, constructs, and maintains oil and gas wells.
