Well Log Analysis ((4))

Catalog description

This class covers theory and practice of petrophysical well logs. The lecture comprises important petrophysical disciplines related to different logs and lithologies, especially sandstones, shales, limestones, and dolomites. These lithologies are common in sedimentary successions and have potential for oil and gas production. The labs are designed to offer students insights in the basic well logging methods used to derive petrophysical properties for hydrocarbon exploration, and to help students learn skills necessary for well-log interpretation, formation evaluation, modeling, and mapping. A field trip may be required.150 minutes of lecture and 150 minutes of lab per week. A course fee is required.
