Measurements
Mud Logs
Open Hole Logs
1. Logging While Drilling (LWD)
2. Wireline Logging
Cased Hole and Production Logs

Applications of Mud logs

Monitoring of bit performance
Determination of lithology
Preliminary indication of well location
relative to expected stratigraphy
Indication of hydrocarbon type
Indication of pressure conditions
Depth Accuracy ~+/- 5m

Mandrel Tools
Always centralized in borehole
Pad Tools
Required to make good contact with the
borehole wall.
Sensitive to borehole rugosity
