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.
