Log Interpretation Principles/Applications

Schlumberger

Description

This comprehensive reference presents the fundamental principles and practical applications of openhole well log interpretation. It systematically explains how logging measurements such as resistivity, density, neutron, sonic, and electromagnetic logs are translated into key reservoir properties including porosity, water saturation, permeability, lithology, and productivity. The book integrates field operations, data acquisition, digital processing, and interpretation models, making it highly valuable for petroleum engineering and geoscience students. Emphasis is placed on quantitative interpretation methods, correction techniques, and reservoir evaluation, bridging theory with real field applications.
