Well Logging Syllabus for B.Tech 5th sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Mass Well Logging B.Tech (R13) fifthsem is as follows
OBJECTIVE:
To enable the students to understand the concept of formation evaluation and well logging and techniques involved in it.
UNIT I [9 Hours]
Aims and objectives of well logging. Reservoir formations. Borehole conditions. Fundamental concepts in borehole geophysics physical properties of reservoir rocks. Formation parameters and their relationships: formation factor, porosity, permeability, resistivity, water and hydrocarbon saturations, and movable oil. Archie’s and Humbles equations.
UNIT II [9 Hours]
Principles, instrumentation, operational procedures and applications of different geophysical logs: S.P., electrical, induction, nuclear, sonic, caliper, temperature, dip and direction. Natural gamma ray spectrometry log, nuclear magnetic log, litho density log, neutron activation technique, thermal neutron decay time log, chlorine and oxygen logs.
UNIT III [9 Hours]
Recording, transmission and processing of log data. Formation evaluation for hydrocarbons. Qualitative and quantitative interpretations of well log data. Overlays and cross-plots. Determination of reservoir parameters – porosity, resistivity, permeability, water and hydrocarbon saturation, movable oil. Lithology determination by neutron, density and sonic cross-plots, dual mineral method, triporosity method, litho porosity cross-plot (M-N plot), clean sand and shaly sand interpretations.
TOTAL : 45 PERIODS
OUTCOMES:
Students able to understand the physical principles of the tools used in logging. They can characterize the formation based on interpretation of well logs
