GPHY 4063 Rock Physics for Geoscientists and Engineers
(3 hours)
Examines rock physics concepts and methods within the framework of exploration seismology applied to poroelastic systems, including hydrocarbon exploration and development, water resources, CO2 sequestration, seismicity and geothermal. Course reviews physical principles and practical aspects of the open hole logging disciplines of electrical, acoustic, nuclear and radioactive properties of rocks. Course includes well logging theory and interpretation of subsurface logs applicable for deriving lithology, porosity, permeability, water saturation, and hydrocarbon saturation. Secondary focus is on elastic rock properties related to reflection seismology, borehole seismic, elastic logs, core analysis, microseismic and induced seismicity. Prerequisites: GEOL 3153 and PHYS 2063 .
