CH EN 6169 - Formation Evaluation and Petrophysics

Engineering petrophysics covers the assessment of rock type, hydrocarbon storage and transport capabilities, geologic depositional and tectonic environments, natural fracturing and mechanical properties appropriate to any part of the engineering life cycle of a well or field. It incorporates well logging, in situ testing, surface measurements, and core analysis. A recommended prerequisite for CH EN 6169 is CH EN 6163, Petroleum Science. CH EN 5169 meets with 6169 and differs from 6169 by having fewer, more limited projects and/or homework assignments.
