Sampling and Analysis of Drilled Cuttings
Premium Workshop
For PEA Members Only
This workshop provides an understanding of the techniques and practices involved in sampling and analyzing drilled cuttings for formation evaluation. Participants will learn how cuttings are collected, prepared, and analyzed to provide geological and operational insights, supporting wellsite decisions and reservoir characterization.
Workshop Objectives
• Understand the importance of drilled cuttings in formation evaluation.
• Learn standard procedures for cuttings sampling, handling, and preservation.
• Explore analytical methods for lithology, mineralogy, and hydrocarbon content.
• Apply cuttings data to support real-time drilling and reservoir evaluation.
About the Presenter
The workshop is conducted by a geology professional with experience in wellsite operations, cuttings analysis, and formation evaluation. The presenter combines technical expertise with field knowledge, ensuring participants gain both theoretical understanding and practical applications.

From Voume to Value
This 2-hour live workshop shows you how oil and gas assets are valued and how that valuation drives real investment decisions. The focus is on the working method used inside E&P companies — the actual process that determines whether a project gets funded.You'll build an economic model in Excel from the ground up, starting with a production profile and ending with the metrics that decide a project's future: NPV, IRR, payback period, and economic life. Along the way you'll see how each input — oil price, capital cost, operating cost, and fiscal terms — shapes the outcome, and how the two main global fiscal systems (concessions and Production Sharing Contracts) change the economics of the same barrel.The session is led by Mark Cook, SPE Distinguished Lecturer and published author, and is built around real Excel models you can follow during the workshop and keep afterward.By the end, you'll understand how a barrel of oil becomes a dollar of value, and how companies decide which projects to back at Final Investment Decision.Format: 2 hours, live on Zoom (with a short break)Date: 13 July 2026 — 9:00 PM Indian Time / 4:30 PM UK TimeTrainer: Mark Cook, Delta-T Energy Consultancy — SPE Distinguished LecturerAll content in this session is copyrighted by Mark Cook.
