Well Logging for Earth Scientists

Well Logging for Earth Scientists

By Darwin V. Ellis & Julian M. Singer





This book demystified the process of
well log analysis for students, researchers and practitioners. In the
two decades since, the industry has changed enormously: technical staffs
are smaller, and hydrocarbons are harder to locate, quantify, and
produce. New drilling techniques have engendered new measurement devices
incorporated into the drilling string. Corporate restructuring and the
"graying" of the workforce have caused a scarcity in technical
competence involved in the search and exploitation of petroleum. The
updated 2nd Edition reviews logging measurement technology developed in
the last twenty years, and expands the petrophysical applications of the
measurements.
