Why Data Quality Matters: From Cement Evaluation to Formation Evaluation
Premium Webinar
For PEA Members Only
Every petrophysical answer is only as good as the data behind it. A single porosity unit of error can mean the difference of hundreds of thousands of barrels in your reserves estimate — and bad data starts at the wellsite, not in the interpretation software. In this premium webinar, Angel Meso draws on 40+ years of wireline and petrophysics experience to show how data quality problems creep in from cement evaluation through formation evaluation, how to catch them with proper QC checks, and what they cost you when you don't. Real log examples, real QC workflows, real consequences.
Webinar Objectives
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
Understand why data quality directly impacts reserves estimation — including what one porosity unit of error is worth in barrels
Apply quality control checks to cement evaluation logs, including light cement and the factors that affect cement bond measurements
Run advanced tool QC checks and recognize when a log is not fit for interpretation
Distinguish random from systematic errors and know how logging speed and measurement practice affect each
Recognize how poor data quality distorts basic formation evaluation — porosity, saturation, and permeability answers

Streamlining the Data Stream : Building a Robust Real-Time Data Journey
In modern drilling operations, the speed and quality of your real-time data decides how fast — and how confidently — your team can act. Delays, gaps, and messy data streams still cost operators millions every year in avoidable NPT, rework, and missed decisions.This one-hour session walks through the complete real-time data journey — from acquisition at the rig site to delivery into the hands of subsurface and drilling teams. Through a live demonstration, Rómulo Cuevas will show how a properly configured WITSML pipeline, combined with automated cleaning and mapping, can push clean, high-frequency data into your project environment with updates every few seconds.If your real-time workflow still depends on manual data handling, delayed feeds, or fragmented tools, this session will show you what a modern setup actually looks like — and what it takes to get there.Whether you're a drilling engineer, geologist, or part of a real-time operations team, this webinar will help you streamline your data processes, reduce inefficiencies, and unlock faster insights across your operations.
