The aim of the course:
to give the basic principles of logs to the student and the geophysics student will know how these tools work. Basic interpretation of logs obtained by these tools also is taught.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : learn well logs and why they are applied. Understand how to measure parameters such as porosity, saturation and formation factor.1,2,5,7
LO - 2 : learn In general, the log, especially the electrical, radioactive and sonic logs measurement principles, evaluation and interpretation.2,5,7
LO - 3 : interpret all the logs in the same well.2,5,7
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), LO : Learning Outcome
