WELL LOGGING

Course Description

The course is designed to convey the understanding of well logging to the students. When exploration drilling is carried out usually at greater depths, the cores and sludghes obtained give significant information about the underground. However, especially when petroleum and natural gas exploration is in question, extra geophysical information is required to arrive at a result. In this context, the following topics will be underlined: Introduction to the fundamental concepts in well logging, necessary equipment for well logging, characteristics of well logging equipment, investigation of the nearby wellbores and geological-geophysical characteristics, electrical properties of different rock types, SP log, normal and lateral logs, laterologs, dual laterolog, induction logs, dual induction log, microresistivity logs, conventional interpretation techniques, computer aided interpretation techniques with specialized softwares.
