This course introduces chalk seen from a physical perspective. It is designed for Ph.D. students studying chalk from any perspective, for example: reservoir engineering,hydrology, petrophysics, rock physics, geotechnics, sedimentology.

Schedule

This course is scheduled from the 25st to 29th of June 2012, and takes place on the island of Møn. Prior to the scheduled program, each participant must complete a written report on an assigned subject to be presented orally. The written report and preparation for the course correspond to a workload of 90 hours. The scheduled course includes lectures and exercises. The active participation in the course and and the final evaluation represent a work load of 50 hours. In total 140 hours.

Course objectives

The aim is to provide to the participant skills in evaluating chalk from a physical perspective: How composition, texture, diagenesis and rock properties are interrelated. How reservoir properties are evaluated by petrophysics. Rock physical interpretation and rock mechanics of this soft-hard or hard-soft sedimentary rock; and finally how physical properties depend on scale of measurement.
