Wrap-up of ICDP Training Course 2026: A week of learning, logging, and drilling innovation at KTB, Germany with amazing participants!🔥 Hands-on in wireline logging, data integration & scientific drilling, capped off by presenting draft drilling proposals for future continental drilling projects!🌍

Great energy & dedicated participants working on exercises on proposal writing and training with @icdpdrilling.bsky.social operational support group OSG team & drilling equipment explained 👍 during this year‘s ICDP training course in Windischeschenbach @ KTB Geocenter, Germany 🔥

Thanks Stuart!💚

ICDP Training Course 2026: This morning we explored the fundamentals of downhole wireline logging, visited the KTB main borehole to observe a deep logging operation, and continued with hands-on log interpretation. Great to learn, discuss, and experience scientific drilling firsthand! 👍
