PETROPHYSICAL TRAINING FOR EVERYONE
This page links you to a wealth of Sample Videos from Crain's Integrated Petrophysics Courses,  especially chosen to be of interest to everyone - from students to CEOs, from investors and bankers to lawyers and financial wizards. Even industry old-timers, educators, journalists, and environmentalists can benefit by knowing something about the science of petrophysics.

Integrated petrophysics is the core science behind the valuation placed on most oil and gas properties. It provides the "Ground Truth" for other geoscience and engineering disciplines, ultimately guiding executives and regulators to rational decision-making.
