Geophysical Well Log and Physical Properties

Knowledge and understanding: Learn the basic knowledge concerning (i) the main petrophysical parameters used for the characterization of the reservoir rocks and (ii) the well logs suitable to make an accurate petrophysical parameter estimation. Acquire the terminology pertinent to well logging.
Applying knowledge and understanding: The acquired knowledge are used to correctly analyse the well log data and to propose an estimate of the petrophysical and lithological parameters of the layers crossed by the well.

Making judgements: The acquired knowledge allows to evaluate autonomously the problems related to the procedures of measurement and analysis of the logs for a correct estimate of the petrophysical and lithological parameters involved.
Communication skills: The student is able to clearly communicate to third party the topics of well logging; moreover is able to interact for well log analysis with the experts in the field.
Learning skills: Give the student the ability to learn autonomously topics that can not be dealt with during the lessons due to the limited time available, and also give him/her the ability to deepen the ones discussed.
