Well logging for metallic and non-metallic minerals: radioactive and non-radioactive evaporates, coal, sulphur. Borehole geophysics for groundwater exploration. Effective pay thickness of an aquifer. Saline water-fresh water interface from log data. Determination of groundwater flow direction by logs.
Unit V
Theoretical computations of normal and lateral log responses. Identification and delineation of sub-surface formations from well log data. Calculation of reservoir parameters: formation factor, porosity, permeability, resistivity, water and hydrocarbon saturations, and movable oil. Subsurface correlation of formations and interpretation of field data.
