Use electromagnetic, radioactive, acoustic and other logs to infer stratigraphic and structural characteristics of subsurface formations.

Upon completing this Learning Module assignment, the participant should be able to access PDVSA engineering and geoscience databases and identify information that is relevant to the field under study as well as classify information according to discipline and what reservoir parameters it helps to define.

Upon completing this course, the participant should be able to use log analysis to identify reservoir rock properties (fluid saturation, porosity, fluid contacts, permeabilities, bulk shale content, net oil sand, fractures).

Introduces the techniques of downhole formation evaluation, comparing wireline logging to other conventional downhole evaluation methods.

Presents the commonly used logging tools--SP, gamma ray, resistivity and porosity--and their characteristics and functions.

Presents the commonly used logging tools--SP, gamma ray, resistivity and porosity--and their characteristics and functions including coverage of Magnetic Resonance Logging.

Explains commonly used log analysis techniques and formulas.

This topic, Dipmeter Surveys, discusses dipmeter logging tools, data acquisition, data processing, display and interpretation of computed dipmeter data, as well as applications for unconventional resource reservoirs.​

This Topic describes the operating principles, applications and limitations of acoustic and resistivity imaging tools, and illustrates how you can use borehole imaging as a reservoir monitoring and characterization tool.​
