Well Logging

Log Response
Logs respond mostly to rock porosity and
chemistry therefore a chemical rock classification
is more suitable to log analysis;
• Rocks composed mostly of silica are generally
described as sandstones
• Calcium carbonates -- Limestones
• Calcium Magnesium Carbonates -- Dolomites
• Rock mixtures of clays & silts -- Shales
• Anhydrite, halite, gypsum, and coal have rather
unique log signatures

INTRODUCTION OF
WELL LOGING
WHAT IS WELL LOG ?
Defined as a continuous record of measurement made in bore hole
Traditionally Logs are display on girded papers, now a days the log may
The first electrical resistivity well log was taken in France, in 1927.

BOREHOLE CONDITION
INVASION OR FLUSHED ZONE
The zone in which much of the original fluid is replaced by mud filtrate is called the
invaded zone. It consists of resistivity Rxo, Rmf and Sxo.
TRANSITION ZONE
It is occurs where a formation’s fluids and mud filtrate are mixed, some of
original pore water and hydrocarbons, if present, have been replaced by
mud filtrate but significant quantities remain.
NON INVISION ZONE
The area beyond the invaded zone where a formation’s fluids are
uncontaminated by mud filtrate, instead, they are saturated with formation
water (Rw), (Rt), (Sw).
