Well logging course for fourth year
Geophysics
By
Dr. Adel Kamel Mohamed
The syllabus of Well Logging course
Course Title: principles and application of well logs
Objectives: At the end of this course, the students should be able to understand the basics of
borehole geophysics, theory of measurements, interpretations and applications of the
different types of wire line logs.
Students should also know how to calculate the
petrophysical parameters required for formation evaluation (source and reservoir rocks).
Course construction:
Strategy: 12 lectures.

Types of boreholes
 According to Casing operation
- Cased holes
- Open holes
 According to conductivity of the borehole
- Conductive (water base drilling mud)
- Non-conductive boreholes (oil base mud, air
drilled or cased holes)

(Electrical, Radioactive, Acoustic,
mechanical, Thermal and Magnetic logs)

Well logs- the necessity
These measurements are necessary because
geological sampling during drilling (cutting
sampling) leaves a very imprecise record of the
formations encountered.
Entire formation samples can be brought to the
surface by mechanical coring, but this is both
slow and expensive.
The results of coring, of course, are unequivocal.
Logging is precise, but equivocal, in that it needs
interpretation to bring a log to the level of
geological or petrophysical experience.
However, logs fill the gap between ‘cuttings’ and
cores, with experience, calibration and
computers, they can almost replace cores, as they
certainly contain enough information.

Objectives of wire line logging
1-Lithology identification
2-Determination of reservoir characteristics (e.g. porosity,
saturation, permeability).
3-Discrimination between source and non source rocks
4-Identification the fluid type in the pore space of
reservoir rock ( gas, oil, water)
5-Identification of productive zones.
6-Determination the depth and thickness of productive
zones.
7-Locating reservoir fluid contacts.
8-Well to well correlation for determining the lateral
extension of subsurface geologic cross sections.
9-Determination formation dip and hole angle and size.
