Well Logging and Formation Evaluation Detailed Syllabus for B.Tech third year first 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 Well Logging and Formation Evaluation B.Tech 2016-2017 (R16) third year first sem is as follows.
B.Tech. III Year I Sem. L/T/P/C
Course Code:PE502PC 4/0/0/4
Prerequisites: General Geology and Petroleum Geology
Course Objectives:
- To know the logging terminology.
- To delineate hydrocarbons through direct and indirect means/methods.
- Determination of formation lithology through logs like S.P, G.R etc. and also depositional environment with the help of Gamma rays spectroscopy and Dip-meter tools.
- Determination of physical properties of the subsurface, strata like resistivity, porosity, thickness etc. through tools like latero, induction, density, neutron, etc.
- Hydrocarbon saturation estimation with the data acquired by the logging tools.
- Hydrocarbons reserves estimation in a particular block.
- Refinement of the log interpretation data with the help of advanced technology tools namely, Scanner, NMR, Modular formation tester etc.
Course Outcomes: From the well logs:
- Will be able to identify the lithology, depositional environment of subsurface strata.
- Will be able to calculate the porosity, permeability, thickness of different interesting layers in a well.
- Finally, the hydrocarbon saturation in different reservoir rocks can be calculated at the well site itself.
