Department of Well Logging trains future specialists (Specialists and Masters) in two majors: well logging and logging techniques and tools. Besides, the department carries out scientific research, works closely with geophysical expeditions and enterprises of petroleum complex of Ukraine.
The department has at its disposal lecture rooms, scientific and research laboratories, training simulation centers, and two instruction wells.
Logging, electro logging or well logging means continuous recording of a physical parameter of the formation with depth. The primary objectives of the wire line logging are:
- The identification of reservoir
- The estimation of hydrocarbon in place.
- The estimation of recoverable hydrocarbon.
Well logs are results of several geophysical measurements recorded in a well bore.
They consist of key information about formation drilled i.e.,
1. To identify the productive zones of hydrocarbon.
2. To define the petrophysical parameters like porosity, permeability, hydrocarbonsaturation and lithology of zones.
3. To determine depth, thickness, formation temperature and pressure of a reservoir.
4. To distinguish between oil, gas and water zones in a reservoir.
5. To measure hydrocarbon mobility. Thus, our graduates will be able to perform:
- geophysical and hydrodynamic surveys of wells;
- identifying reservoir rocks poroperm properties including lateral and horizontal wells;
- identifying injectivity profiles, behind-casing flow, oil-water contact and residual oil saturation;
- control of the open-hole and casing integrity;
- perforation;
- swabbing;
- identifying poroperm properties and recovery capacities of productive formations by pressure transient analysis.
