Return On Investment of Paradigm Training . .
Paradigm training programs are an investment in your company’s intellectual

capital. Many companies focus on the “expense” of training. While it is true that
training costs money and takes up valuable employee time, studies show that
training provides a positive return on investment, sometimes as much as
several hundred percent. Training increases the knowledge and skills of your
employees, as well as contributes to their sense of being valued by the
company. Both lead to a sharp increase in productivity and reduction in cycle
time.
Employee surveys indicate that appropriate and timely training programs are
one of the best ways to ensure employee retention. Paradigm training programs
will make your employees knowledgeable in the use of our products, allowing
them to meet corporate objectives faster, using state-of-the-art technology.
Therefore, although training may seem like a luxurious expense to some
companies, it is, in fact, one of the soundest investments you can make. The
question becomes, can you really afford not to make this investment?

 Reinforcement strategies should be implemented upon the student’s
completion of the course. Paradigm offers follow-up mentoring after
scheduled course training to put classroom concepts into real world
practicality.
 Best results from our training programs occur when you have an internal
infrastructure in place that supports the student’s application of what has

Prerequisites Intro to Geolog®6, Geophysics Basics
Who should attend? Geophysicists
Applications Well
Objectives 1
Follow numerous empirical rock relationships and theoretical rock models in a

workflow to derive and evaluate the measured results for the Gassmann fluid
substitution, as the Gassmann fluid substitution depends heavily on correct rock
property measurements.
The theoretic rock models include effective medium models and contact
models, which predict the physical behavior and trends of the rock. The
theoretic models are guidelines in evaluating and estimating the rock properties.
The empirical relationships in Geolog includes the most commonly used
velocity-porosity and density-porosity models. All necessary input required by
the Gassmann equations can be derived or evaluated from the above models/
relationships.
The two Gassmann models in Geolog include the clean sand and shaly sand
models. The former assumes the rock constituents are mainly sand, whereas
the latter assumes a fairly big amount of shale contents. The clean sand model
can be used for mixed mineralogy by using an effective average modulus of
rock matrix mixture.
