StarStarStarStar

Dipmeter Logging

StarStarStarStar

Records deviation of formation beds from the horizontal, which is essential in structural analysis and determining the attitude of strata.

StarStarStarStar

Cement Bond Logging

StarStarStarStar

Evaluates the quality of the cement job in casing, particularly the bond between casing and formation or between different cement stages.

StarStarStarStar

Time-Lapse Logging

StarStarStarStar

Involves repeated logging at different times to monitor changes in a reservoir over the life of a field, such as fluid saturations or pressure.

StarStarStarStar

Crosswell Seismic Tomography

StarStarStarStar

Uses seismic waves generated and received in adjacent wells to image properties between wells for enhanced reservoir characterization.

StarStarStarStar

Acoustic Logging

StarStarStarStar

Measures the speed of sound in rocks to assess porosity and evaluate mechanical properties.

StarStarStarStar

Image Logging

StarStarStarStar

Creates visual representations of the borehole wall to identify features like fractures, bedding, and faults.

StarStarStarStar

Electromagnetic Propagation Logging

StarStarStarStar

Evaluates the water content and salinity of the reservoir by measuring the dielectric constant and conductivity.

StarStarStarStar

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Logging

StarStarStarStar

Provides data on porosity, permeability, and fluid typing by measuring relaxation properties of hydrogen nuclei in the formation fluids.

StarStarStarStar

Cuttings Analysis

StarStarStarStar

Examines rock cuttings generated during drilling to gain insights into the lithology and mineral composition of the drilled formations.

StarStarStarStar

Pulsed Neutron Logging

StarStarStarStar

Uses a pulsed neutron generator to activate the formation and measure the resultant gamma rays to assess saturation and lithology changes.

StarStarStarStar

Flow Meter Logging

StarStarStarStar

Monitors fluid movement in the borehole to identify production zones, injection profiles, and cross-flow behind casing.

StarStarStarStar

Ultrasonic Imaging Logging

StarStarStarStar

Provides high-resolution acoustic reflection images for detailed analysis of the borehole wall and to assess rock fabric and structure.

StarStarStarStar

Caliper Logging

StarStarStarStar

Measures the diameter of the borehole to identify zones of wear or instability, and to ensure proper log measurement by other tools.

StarStarStarStar

Mud Logging

StarStarStarStar

Involves analysis of rock cuttings and mud for real-time decision making on drilling parameters and formation evaluation.

StarStarStarStar

Resistivity Logging

StarStarStarStar

Assesses the resistivity of the formation to estimate hydrocarbon saturation.

StarStarStarStar

Borehole Gravimetry

StarStarStarStar

Measures the gravitational field within a borehole to infer density variations and thereby the distribution of different rock types and fluids.

StarStarStarStar

Borehole Seismic Logging

StarStarStarStar

Provides seismic data recorded within the well to tie surface seismic information to formation properties at well locations.

StarStarStarStar

Gamma Ray Logging

StarStarStarStar

Measures the natural radioactivity of the formation to infer the presence of shale and other lithologies.

StarStarStarStar

Formation Pressure Testing

StarStarStarStar

Measures the pressure of the formation fluid to estimate reservoir characteristics and fluid properties.

StarStarStarStar

Spectral Gamma Ray Logging

StarStarStarStar

Determines the quantity and type of radioactive elements, often to distinguish between different types of shales or to identify pay zones.

StarStarStarStar

Thermal Neutron Activation Logging

StarStarStarStar

Measures induced gamma ray activity from neutron bombardment to determine elemental composition, especially in complex lithologies.

StarStarStarStar

Spontaneous Potential (SP) Logging

StarStarStarStar

Records natural electric potentials in the borehole to help infer lithology and identify permeable zones.

StarStarStarStar

Dielectric Logging

StarStarStarStar

Records the dielectric properties of the formation which are affected by water content and type, to estimate water saturation and porosity.

StarStarStarStar

Neutron Porosity Logging

StarStarStarStar

Detects hydrogen atoms to estimate porosity, since hydrogen is primarily found in the fluids filling the pores.

StarStarStarStar

Density Logging

StarStarStarStar

Uses gamma ray sources and detectors to measure the electron density of the formation which is related to rock density.
