This introductory course on borehole geophysical methods covers the application of borehole logging and borehole-borehole and borehole-surface seismic, and radar imaging to rock mass and reservoir characterization. The principles of operation of various logging sondes will be covered as well as their application. The emphasis is on geotechnical rather than oil and gas well reservoir engineering.

The course covers hydrogeological investigation methods in unconsolidated sediments (theory only) and fractured rock. Application in hard/fractured rock. Focus on aquitard well tests using a double packer. Estimation of natural hydraulic heads. The students have to sample, display, evaluate and assess own data and write a report. --10-19 June, 11-18 June @Mels
