Geophysics in drilling

- Presentation of the methods for drilling at great depths, taking into account the technological aspects of drilling as well as the control of mud and chips ("mud logging").
- Presentation of geophysical methods in drilling or "deferred logging" (electrical, nuclear, acoustic and seismic methods as well as techniques developed for temperature, pressure or permeability measurements in-situ).
- Use of these methods for petroleum and environmental applications.

- Knowledge of the methods allowing the realization of a drilling.
- Mastery of the physical principle of the geophysical methods in drilling.
- Initiation to the reading and interpretation of real data.

- Knowledge of sedimentary and structural geology
- Knowledge of surface geophysics
- Knowledge of petrophysics

Continuous assessment.

- Presentation of the methods of realization of a deep drilling, taking into account the technological aspects of drilling as well as the control of mud and chips ("mud logging").
- Presentation of geophysical methods in drilling or "deferred logging":
1) Description of the environment in terms of lithology, porosity and fluid content
- Electrical methods
- Nuclear methods (natural and induced)
- Sonic method
2) Electrical and acoustic wall imaging: estimation of wall deformations (fractures, breakout)
3) Seismic in wells
- Illustration of the use of these methods for petroleum and environmental applications
