Learning Content

Contents:

  • Sound theoretical basis of various logging methods (e.g. borehole diameter, temperature, specific resistance, induction methods, nuclear measurement methods, density, acoustic methods, imaging measurements)
  • Principles of various measuring tools and necessary data processing
  • Principles of operation of various measuring probes and necessary data processing
  • Petrophysical properties: density, porosity, saturation, thermal conductivity, radioactivity, seismic velocity
  • Open-hole log analysis and interpretation
  • Assessment of formation properties using various methods
  • Determination of lithology using cross-plotting methods

 

Qualification objectives:

  • Comprehensive understanding of the various borehole measurement methods, such as electrical, nuclear, geothermal and acoustic methods, and their applications in the exploration and characterisation of the subsurface
  • Ability to collect, process and interpret borehole data so that students can assess the properties of different deposits and rock formations
  • Students learn to integrate borehole data into geological and geophysical models in order to make informed decisions regarding exploration and/or environmental conditions in a geological context
