COURSE DESCRIPTION
|
|
This course provides the student with
a solid background on the fundamental physical properties
of porous media, rock/fluid interactions on the basis
of surface chemistry concept, and principle of fluid flow
through porous media. Students are responsible to give
an oral presentation on a topic relating to any of the
subject on rock properties.

OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE
|
|
The main objective of the course is to
give a solid background to the students on course of rock
properties. The other objectives are to:
(a) Develop students ability to apply an integrated knowledge
of math, physics, geosciences, and engineering sciences
for the solution of rock property problems.
(b) Develop students' capabilities for analytical thinking
and solving the problems on the course of rock properties.
(c) Encourage to develop and improve students' ability
in oral communication throughout the course.
