Course Objective

The main aim of the well logging of geothermal systems is to analyse of rocks and rock chips in order to understand the mineralogy and petrography of formations and the alterations related to geothermal systems by using microscop and x-ray difractometer. Often fluid inclusions are also usefull tools to understand the origin of the systems.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Determinate the borehole logs
2   Understand the geothermal systems with in individual logs
3   Solve the water-rock interaction in the borehole logs
