Why GeolOil's perpetual free software is a fundamentally superior model for consulting professionals and students compared to the restrictive 30-day trials from competitors.
The 30-day "free trial" for petrophysics software is a relic. You invest your valuable time learning a complex tool from major vendors like Techlog or Geolog, only to have your access cut off just as you become proficient. This high-pressure model serves the vendor's sales cycle, not your workflow.

The GeolOil team believes there's a better way. They have replaced the broken trail model with a real and functional Free GeolOil license for all the core petrophysical software computations.
This is neither a demo nor a trial. It's a powerful, 100% functional toolkit that is yours to use without an expiration date to handle your actual data. There are no computational differences between the class F (Free) licenses and any of the paid licenses. Just download and install GeolOil, and you are ready to run and use it. No email registration, no user account is required.
GeolOil philosophy is simple: they want you to learn and work without the pressure of a ticking clock. Become an expert at your own pace. Use it for your projects. The limitations of the free version F class license, like the inability to save sessions and watermarked displays, create a natural, low-friction incentive to upgrade to a paid license only when needed, once the value of managing complex projects is clear to you.

As the table above from the geoloil.com website highlights, the licenses differ on aspects like Commercial use, Support, Watermarks, and Save permissions. Furthermore, all GeolOil licenses are true standalone applications that run on your local machine, relieving you from the need for an unstable or slow cloud connection. The decision to purchase a professional premium license (classes T, L, and P) should be driven by your success, not a sales deadline.
But how good, powerful, and easy to use is GeolOil? The software's quality is reflected in its 26 independent Google customer reviews, with an average of 4.8 stars. Here's what a recent user had to say in July 2025:

"I recently stumbled onto Geoloil Petrophysics software on the internet while looking for a functional but affordable Petrophysics evaluation software. GEOLOIL software is great and user-friendly..." Joseph Otevwe - Google Reviews.
