General info
| Instructor | Ingve Simonsen |
| Lectures | Mon. 08:15-12:00 (H-127; Ellen og Axel Lunds house, Red Auditorium) |
| Fri. 14:15-16:00 (G-001; Arne Rettedals house) |
Content
The course provides an introduction to the theory and practice of exploration geophysics including geophysical data acquisition, data processing and interpretation. Methods covered include reflection seismology (emphasized), refraction seismology, gravity and magnetic methods, and electrical and electromagnetic methods. Further, the course gives an introduction to formation evaluation, based on logged measurements of electric resistivity, seismic velocity and radioactivity. Coverage will include the principles of measuring these logs, as well as how they are combined with core data to determine lithology, net sand, porosity, water saturation, permeability, gas/oil volume and segmentation/barriers. The final part of the course is an interpretation of logs and core data from Halten Bank and the Barents Sea.Text Book
