Summary
The subject gives the main brief characterization of well-logging method principles. There are given the complexes of logging for various purposes, inclusive of special methodics of measurement, data processing and their interpretation. There is given data characterization a their relation with physical and mechanical rock properties.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
