SCPRE17

Acoustic Logging

Instructors: Denis Schmitt, Doug Patterson, John Walsh
Date: May 7, 2008
Max. Attendance: 40 Participants
Course Fee: $500

Venue: TBA

The objective of this short course is to provide both an overview and understanding of the theory, physics, and measurements of borehole acoustic devices.  The course will discuss the basic system configurations of the older generation monopole devices, still being utilized, as well as the new generation multipole and cross-dipole systems more commonly used. The critical issues of log quality control and the borehole environmental effects will also be covered.  The course focus will be the application and limitations of the measurements from these devices in petrophysical, geophysical, and reservoir engineering disciplines using real-world examples.
