Course Objectives
Specific outcomes of instruction (course objectives):
To teach working and evaluation principals of standart open hole well logs and cement bond log on the well basis. Calculation methods of petrophysical parameters of reservoir rock to understand the quality and continuity of oil and gas reservoirs
Course Content
Principles and operation of gamma ray, self potential, caliper, resistivity (micro and focused), density neutron, sonic, cement bond and variable density, dipmeter and production well logging tools. Interpretation of well log and their crossplotting techniques. Determination of formation properties such as porosity, hydrocarbon saturation, lithology, zone thickness, shaliness, etc. Guidelines to select proper logs in given field conditions.
Course Learning Outcomes
Student outcomes at the end of the course:
1 ) Evaluate formation boundary, lithology type, porosity amount,shale volume, hydrocarbon saturation.
2) Recognize wrong log readings due to the well bore conditions.
3 ) Recognize fracture development in the formation.
4 ) Understand cement bond quality of cased well.
5 ) Make correlation of specific features from one well to another
6) Make two dimentional distribution of petrophysical parameters with simple mapping methods to understand the lateral changes of reservoir parameters
