The institute of Geology, University of the Punjab, Lahore had opened the student chapter of the Society of Petrophysicists and Well Log Analysts (SPWLA) with the name of ‘Pakistan Student Chapter (IGUP)’. The inauguration ceremony was held on August 7, 2021, during 10:00-12.30 (PKT). The purpose of the Society is to advance the science of petrophysics and formation evaluation, through well logging and other formation evaluation techniques.
In short, it is the branch of geology concerned with the physical properties and behaviour of rocks.
According to Wikipedia, Petrophysics (from the Greek Ï€ÎÏ„Ïα, petra, "rock" and φÏσις, physis, "nature") is the study of physical and chemical rock properties and their interactions with fluids. A major application of petrophysics is in studying reservoirs for the hydrocarbon industry. Petrophysicists are employed to help reservoir engineers and geoscientists understand the rock propert
