Course Contents
The field course introduces into the outcrop-analogue concept and reservoir geology using outcrops and sediment cores. This comprises:
[list]
[*]Sediment logging of siliciclastic and carbonate rocks and applying the lithofacies concept
[*]Measurements with handheld instruments: spectral gamma-ray, magnetic susceptibility, and pXRF.
[*]Mapping of outcrop walls and identification of architectural elements
[*]Drilling of plugs for petrophysical analysis
[*]Sample preparation with a rock saw
[*]Measurement of plugs in the lab on porosity and permeability
[*]Identification of sedimentary cycles
[/list]
