Well Logging

• Overview of methods for deep drilling, covering both the technological aspects of drilling and mud and cuttings control (“mud logging”).
•    Overview of geophysical methods used during drilling, or “delayed logging” (electrical, nuclear, acoustic, and seismic methods, as well as techniques developed for in-situ measurements of temperature, pressure, and permeability).
• Application of these methods in the oil and gas industry and environmental contexts.

• Knowledge of methods used in drilling operations.
• Understanding of the physical principles behind geophysical methods used in drilling.
• Introduction to reading and interpreting real-world data.

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

Comprehensive ongoing monitoring.

• Overview of methods for deep drilling, covering both the technological aspects of drilling and the monitoring of drilling mud and cuttings (“mud logging”).
•    Overview of geophysical methods used during drilling, or “delayed logging”:
1) Description of the formation in terms of lithology, porosity, and fluid content
- Electrical methods
- Nuclear methods (natural and induced)
        - Sonic methods
2) Electrical and acoustic wall imaging: estimation of wall deformations (fractures, breakout)
3) Downhole seismic
• Illustration of the use of these methods for petroleum and environmental applications.
