EVAL 402 - Well Logging

Description
This course provides an introduction to well log analysis, by discussing the major types of open-hole logs used in oil and gas exploration and their evaluations. Well logs are the most comprehensive and descriptive documents on oil and gas. Your analysis would impact the work of the rest of the team in the industry, from the financing department to the drilling team. This course is designed to deliver the optimum application of well logs by discussing the constraints and limitations of open-hole well logging operations. The principles of physics are explained along with the functioning of modern logging tools and an adequate number of examples for each logging tool will be provided to show the close relationship of petroleum geology and reservoir properties such as water saturation, porosity, and identification of hydrocarbon types. We also review the basics of the Quick- Look analysis enabling us to recognize reservoirs’ features- quickly and effectively.
