Semester

Winter

Applied well log analysis, including conventional and new techniques. Subsurface geology and lithology determined from many logs. Determining porosity, permeability, and fluid saturation with hydrology, and hydrocarbon applications.

Learning Outcome 1

Understand the theoretical basis of well-logging tools that recover information about subsurface rocks and their fluids.

Learning Outcome 2

Be able to interpret the results of well-logging operations.

Learning Outcome 3

Have real-world experiences in classroom and outdoor “lab” settings that will mimic a professional environment.
