PEE 405
Well Logging and Interpretation
2
Course Description
At the end of this course, the students should be able to:
1. explain the principles of open and cased hole logging tools;
2. read linear and logarithmic log curves;
3. identify the lithological sequence penetrated in the well;
4. calculate parameters needed for formation evaluation;
5. calculate movable and residual hydrocarbons in the well;
6. develop a computer processed well log;
7. Explicate the use of TECHLOG or PETREL in log analysis; and
8. evaluate recent advances in logging and log analysis
Course Outline
Principles and operation of gamma ray. Self-potential caliper. Resistivity (micro and focused),
