The aim of the course:
This course aims to enable students to plan the necessary process for the study of subsurface geology, to design underground geological events in three dimensions by using appropriate laboratory and analysis methods, panel diagrams and subsurface maps on the data they have obtained, and to solve subsurface problems. In addition, it provides basic information to be able to determine the characteristics of the cut units using the logs measured in the wells, and to determine the locations (depths) of natural resources such as oil and natural gas with the help of logs.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : plan the subsurface geology study process.2,3,41,3,
LO - 2 : know the duties and responsibilities of the well geologist.11,3,
LO - 3 : decide which laboratory and analysis method should be used in accordance with the purpose of the subsurface geology study.2,31,3,
LO - 4 : correlate the data obtained in well studies with other well data and show three-dimensional changes by drawing panel diagrams (subsurface sections).21,3,
LO - 5 : draw and interpret underground maps when necessary interpret the logs measured in wells.21,3,
LO - 6 : determine the boundaries of the units and give the depths of formations such as oil and natural gas, if any. 2,31,3,
