PETROGEO 7021 - Petrophysics of Energy Resource Systems

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2023

Petrophysics of Energy Resource Systems will give participants an overview of well logging concepts, the measurement or inference of basic rock properties, the wellbore environment, petrophysical tools, interpretation concepts and the standard petrophysical analysis, interpretation and modelling workflow. Students will learn the best techniques in the interpretation of wireline logging tool datasets, including the determination of lithology, porosity, fluid content and movement, and net pay. Both, qualitative (quick look) and quantitative analyses methods are covered. Practical aspects, such as logging operations, including MWD, and logging program design will also be addressed. Practical examples are used throughout and case histories are used to demonstrate specific aspects. Specialised Methods and Recent Advances give an overview of dipmeter and borehole imaging logs, as well as NMR, and determination of permeability from logs. The main interactive modes of assessment will be through progressive petrophysical analyses to build up the complete picture of a geological energy resource system recorded by real well data. Industry-standard petrophysical reporting will also be demonstrated and assessed.

  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    Lectures are presented in the mornings.  Afternoons are devoted to practical work.  Practical tasks are designed in order that students can synthesise theoretical concepts learned earlier in the day.  These tasks take the forms of hands-on exercises and extended challenges in processing and interpretation of 3D seismic datasets using computer workstations and industry-standard software.
    Workload

    The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

    This information is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with course requirements.  This block course involves approximately the same number of contact hours as would be delivered in a semesterised course.  You should spend between one and two times the number of contact hours out of class engaged in further learning, revision, reading more widely about the topics covered, practicing example problems, finishing exercises, etc.
    Learning Activities Summary
    Details of the topics to be covered each day will be provided during the first lecture of each course component.
  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Related Requirements
    The final course mark will be a weighted average of each subject component, with applied weights being in proportion with the duration of contact days per subject component.
    Assessment Detail
    Exam questions will comprise mainly interpretive questions, along with some descriptive ones. Answers will range from the result of a calculation, through to a brief essay, but most questions will require no more than a paragraph or two.

    Details concerning the nature and requirements of assessed practical assignments will be explained during the introductory lectures of each subject component.
    Submission
    Late submission policy:
    Work will be marked without prejudice, and 10% of the obtained mark will be deducted for each 24 hour period (or part thereof) that an assessment task is late for submission, up to a maximum penalty of 50% of the mark attained. An examiner may elect not to accept any assessment task that a student wants to submit after that task has been marked and feedback provided to the rest of the class.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
