GPGN 419 - Pegn419. Well Log Analysis And Formation Evaluation

Institution:

Colorado School of Mines

Subject:

Description:

The basics of core analysis and the principles of all common borehole instruments are reviewed. The course shows (computer) interpretation methods that combine the measurements of various borehole instruments to determine rock properties such as porosity, permeability, hydrocarbon saturation, water salinity, ore grade, ash content, mechanical strength, and acoustic velocity. The impact of these parameters on reserves estimates of hydrocarbon reservoirs and mineral accumulations are demonstrated. In spring semesters, vertical seismic profiling, single well and cross-well seismic are reviewed. In the fall semester, topics like formation testing, and cased hole logging are covered. Prerequisites: MATH225, MATH348 or PHGN311, GPGN302, GPGN303, GPGN308. 3 hours lecture, 2 hours lab; 3 semester hours.
