Well-log interpretation for formation evaluation of hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs; basic rock physics principles; theory of tool operation; analysis of open hole logs and core measurements to estimate hydrocarbon reserves and petrophysical properties of the formation such as porosity, net pay thickness, water/hydrocarbon saturation, permeability and saturation-dependent capillary pressure; formation evaluation of clay-free and shaly-sand formations as well as basic introduction to formation evaluation of organic-shale formations. Prerequisites: Grade of C or better in PETE 301, PETE 310, PETE 311, and GEOL 404, junior or senior classification, petroleum engineering majors only; or approval of instructor Credits 4. 3 Lecture Hours. 3 Lab Hours.
