SPWLA Saudi Arabia Chapter

Petrophysics.
Connected.

The Kingdom's home for the science of formation evaluation. We connect petrophysicists, log analysts, and reservoir engineers across operators, service companies, and academia — and we bring the world's expertise to our doorstep.

What we do

A meeting place for the subsurface

Monthly technical luncheons, full-day workshops, joint topical conferences with sister chapters, and a steady drumbeat of publications and student outreach. The Chapter exists to make petrophysics in the region visible, social, and forward-leaning.

Technical meetings

Monthly luncheons in Dhahran and Al-Khobar with global guest speakers — covering new technologies in shaly sands, carbonates, low-resistivity pay, and beyond.

Topical workshops

One- and two-day workshops on the science driving the industry — digital rock, machine learning, transition minerals, and the future of formation evaluation.

Students & YPs

A working partnership with the SPWLA KFUPM Student Chapter and a Young Professionals programme that builds the next generation of formation evaluators in the Kingdom.

Coming up
