Understand the theoretical and physical foundations of industrial geophysical methods (IGM), the criteria for identifying different types of reservoir rocks, and their petrophysical models; be familiar with modern algorithms and methodologies for the integrated geological interpretation of petrophysical and geophysical data for modeling oil and gas reservoirs. Be able to: apply a suite of geophysical data in practice to solve problems involving the identification of reservoir layers and the quantitative assessment of their porosity, permeability, and saturation characteristics; perform a correct geological interpretation of petrophysical parameters (based on core analysis data) and log data to construct reliable models of hydrocarbon deposits.

Knowledge of the theoretical foundations of geology, physics, mathematics, and geophysics.

A core course in the professional training program for students pursuing higher education in the field of geological sciences and geophysics. The main objective of the course is to develop a comprehensive set of theoretical knowledge and practical skills regarding the application of industrial and field geophysical methods for the reliable identification of oil- and gas-bearing formations, as well as the determination of their reservoir properties. Within the framework of this course, a reservoir is considered a specific type of rock. This rock has the ability to both accumulate and allow various fluids to pass through it. Due to its porosity and permeability, the pores of the reservoir can be filled with fluids such as water, gas, and oil.

Lectures and practical sessions, as well as independent study by students.

Assessment is conducted using a modular-rating system and includes: the completion of one comprehensive practical assignment (in which students must demonstrate the quality of their acquired knowledge and solve assigned problems using the methods and tools specified by the instructor) and a written test. The final assessment takes the form of a written exam.
