PGEG 401 Petrophysics and Logging
The course presents the physical principles of well logging. PGEG401 introduces students to geophysical measurements made under borehole and lab conditions. The course also demonstrates methods to correlate geophysical measurements and rock properties and prepares students to perform basic well log and core data interpretation. The course covers concepts of rock properties and their application in the oil industry; lab measurements of rock properties (porosity, permeability, density, resistivity, fluid saturation); lithology logs, porosity logs, fluid saturation and permeability estimation from well logs; and full well log interpretation. The course refers to rock mechanics from core and well log data.
