This course deals with the fundamentals of well logging and petrophysics, which addresses the relationships between petrophysical observations and the properties of reservoirs. The class covers the theoretical background of well logging tools including gamma ray, neutron porosity, density, caliper, and electrical resistivity. Particular emphasis is given to the application of the petrophysical theory to interpret field data. The course also includes the final project that provides an opportunity for students to interpret field data using commercial software. The key part of the class is to apply the theoretical background and petrophysical knowledge to a practical analysis of a real problem.
