Course Objective

to teach to the postgrad. students how to examine and interpret the porosity, permeability and lithological characteristics of the sedimentary rocks based on the well logs (SP, R, N, gamma, sonic, gravity and thermal logs)
to examine the geothermal, cold water, oil, natural gas potential of the sedimentary sequences by using well logs.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   able to define the lithology of the sedimentary rocks by using welll logs
2   able to know basic principles of well logs
3   able to relate well log data with the porosity and permeability
4   able to determine a well log obtained from a sedimentary sequence
5   able to draw a stratigraphic column by using well logs
6   able to correlate different logs
7   able to analyse fluid characteristics by using different well logs
8   able to determine natural gas, oil, water and geothermal potential of sedimentary sequences
