This course is for geology graduate students interested in the petroleum and environmental industries, geothermal energy and evaluating the subsurface environment using wireline logs. This course will focus on the geologic interpretation of a variety of well logs, as well as quantitative methods to determine porosity and permeability in aquifers and reservoirs, how reservoir fluids influence well log properties, calculating water saturation, and an introduction to unconventional reservoirs. Graduate students are given advanced homework exercises including interpretation of structure, selection of best logging technique, mineral identification, and fractured rock identification. Some exercises involve concurrent interpretation of well logs and core samples. No credit for students with credit in GEOL 4313 or GEOL 4323.Prerequisite(s): GEOL 3034 or consent of instructor.

This is a core course for the Minor in Petroleum Engineering. Course material builds on information to prerequisite course Geology 3413. This course covers geologic interpretation of reservoir characteristics based on a variety of well logs; quantitative determination of porosity and permeability, reservoir fluids and how they influence well log properties, calculation of water saturation, introduction to unconventional reservoirs, drilling and logging in lateral holes. May not be used for degree credit with GEOL 4313 or GEOL 5353.Prerequisite(s): GEOL 3413 with a grade of 'C' or higher.

The geologic characteristics of national parks and scenic regions in North America and throughout the world. Intended for non-majors. Previously offered as GEOL 3043.

A supplemental Honors experience in Geology to partner concurrently with designated upper-division GEOL course(s). This course adds a different intellectual dimension to designated course(s). Offered for fixed credit, 1 credit hour, maximum of 8 credit hours.Prerequisite(s): Honors Program participation and concurrent enrollment in designated course(s).

This course introduces graduate level engineering students to the fundamental concepts of geologic science with emphasis on application to reservoir evaluation, drilling and production of hydrocarbon accumulation. Weekly labs provide hands-on exercises of techniques used for reservoir evaluation. A term project allows graduate students to synthesize concepts from lectures and techniques learned in lab, to evaluate the economic potential of an oil field and prepare a professional presentation. May not be used for degree credit with GEOL 3413.
