SQD7006 Petrophysics and Well Log Analysis

Petrophysics is designed to provide geology students with a working knowledge of formation
evaluation methods, including determination of reservoir properties using subsurface data from well
log surveys in uncased holes, calibration and integration of well log data with core data, interpret
open-hole logs using computer software, and gain familiarity with a full spectrum of well log suites.

Assessment Methods:
Continuous Assessment 100%
