Course content
Possibilities of well logging in the control over the development of hydrocarbon deposits. The peculiarities of research technology, methods of interpretation of well-logging data in order to solve a number of geological and technical problems are studied. Additionally, issues related to the conduct of blasting operations in wells are considered. Processes of formation and disbandment of the invasion zone in the wellbore space; methodical methods of control over the advancement of liquid contacts in the well section, estimation of current values of oil and gas saturation of productive formations.
