MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
Sometimes it is useful to subdivide the discipline of materials science and engineering
into materials science and materials engineering subdisciplines. Strictly
speaking, “materials science” involves investigating the relationships that exist
between the structures and properties of materials. In contrast, “materials engineering”
is, on the basis of these structure–property correlations, designing or engineering
the structure of a material to produce a predetermined set of properties.2
From a functional perspective, the role of a materials scientist is to develop or synthesize
new materials, whereas a materials engineer is called upon to create new
products or systems using existing materials, and/or to develop techniques for processing
materials. Most graduates in materials programs are trained to be both
materials scientists and materials engineers.
“Structure” is at this point a nebulous term that deserves some explanation. In
brief, the structure of a material usually relates to the arrangement of its internal
components. Subatomic structure involves electrons within the individual atoms and
interactions with their nuclei. On an atomic level, structure encompasses the organization
of atoms or molecules relative to one another.The next larger structural
realm, which contains large groups of atoms that are normally agglomerated together,
is termed “microscopic,” meaning that which is subject to direct observation
using some type of microscope. Finally, structural elements that may be viewed with
the naked eye are termed “macroscopic.”
The notion of “property” deserves elaboration.While in service use, all materials
are exposed to external stimuli that evoke some type of response. For example,
a specimen subjected to forces will experience deformation, or a polished metal
surface will reflect light. A property is a material trait in terms of the kind and magnitude
of response to a specific imposed stimulus. Generally, definitions of properties
are made independent of material shape and size.
Virtually all important properties of solid materials may be grouped into six different
categories: mechanical, electrical, thermal, magnetic, optical, and deteriorative.
For each there is a characteristic type of stimulus capable of provoking different responses.
Mechanical properties relate deformation to an applied load or force; examples
include elastic modulus and strength. For electrical properties, such as electrical
conductivity and dielectric constant, the stimulus is an electric field. The thermal behavior
of solids can be represented in terms of heat capacity and thermal conductivity.
Magnetic properties demonstrate the response of a material to the application of
a magnetic field. For optical properties, the stimulus is electromagnetic or light radiation;
index of refraction and reflectivity are representative optical properties. Finally,
deteriorative characteristics relate to the chemical reactivity of materials.The chapters
that follow discuss properties that fall within each of these six classifications.
In addition to structure and properties, two other important components are
involved in the science and engineering of materials—namely, “processing” and
“performance.”With regard to the relationships of these four components, the structure
of a material will depend on how it is processed. Furthermore, a material’s performance
will be a function of its properties. Thus, the interrelationship between
processing, structure, properties, and performance is as depicted in the schematic
illustration shown in Figure 1.1. Throughout this text we draw attention to the

Instructions On Project Completion
The aim of this workbook project is to provide you with the information on
various formation evaluation topics that can best be studied outside a
classroom. It is not the intention of the Training Department that you complete
all the assignments as soon as possible. This workbook project should allow
you to spend enough time on each particular subject in order to thoroughly
understand those aspects of geologic evaluation and interpretation as they
apply to every day wellsite operations. This workbook includes:
• Sedimentary Petrology
• Sedimentary Structures
• Sedimentary Environments
• Reservoir Geology
• Wireline/MWD Logs in Formation Evaluation
• Introduction to Seismic Surveying
• Introduction to Geochemistry
• Introduction to Well Testing
At the end of each chapter there will be “Self-Check” exercises, which are
designed to assist you in understanding the information covered in the chapter.
Do not proceed until you are confident that you fully understand the concepts,
calculations, and applications of the chapter's subject matter. Direct any
questions you may have to the Training Department.
When you have completed the workbook assignments, there will be several
“Return” assignments. These are to be completed and returned to the regional/
area Training Department. Using these assignments, the Training Department
will be able to assist you in the next step in completing the module
requirements. It is in your best interest to stay in contact with your Training
Department.
This workbook is designed to review those aspects of sedimentary geology that
are unique to the oil industry and to increase your knowledge and
understanding of formation evaluation using those geologic principles.
There is a lot to learn, and remember, the learning process will never end.
There are no real shortcuts. You will be required to learn for yourself, with
guidance and assistance from experienced field personnel and the Training
Department.
