PGEG 401 Petrophysics and Logging

The course introduces well logging and laboratory techniques used to acquire and interpret petrophysical data for applications in the oil and gas industry. Students correlate between different petrophysical properties (porosity, permeability, density, resistivity, fluid saturation) and derive mechanical properties of rocks (stiffness, fractures) by applying several techniques.
