.
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.
