Geological Well Logs : Their Use in Reservoir Modeling
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Well logging has come a long way from the simple electrical devices of the early years. Today's tools are much more diverse in their applications. Among these are tools which characterize geological properties of rocks in the borehole in a way that was previously only possible with oriented cores. Thus, borehole imaging, nuclear spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and paleomagnetic logging provide precise information on bedding, mineralogy, texture and age of the rocks traversed by the borehole. Many of these logs can not only be acquired in the traditional "wireline" mode, but also in logging-while-drilling mode where the sensors are placed directly behind the drill bit, and the measurements are transmitted in real-time to the surface. Combined with new technology to drill deviated wells, the geoscientist now has tools which enable him to specify and develop reservoirs more accurately. This book is for researchers, graduate students and practising geoscientists.
Book Info
Text for researchers, graduate students and practicing geoscientists on the technology of well logs and their use in reservoir modeling. Discusses the tools used today, including borehole imaging, and the information that can be gathered through the use of well logs, such as specifics on bedding, mineralogy, texture and age of rocks. Dicusses the levels of accuracy achieved today.
