Well logging lies at the intersection of applied geophysics, petroleum and geotechnical
engineering. It has its roots in the tentative electrical measurements in well bores which
were made by the Schlumberger brothers some 80 years ago in the earliest days of
systematic petroleum exploration. Today, a variety of specialized instruments is used to
obtain measurements from the borehole during, as well as after, the drilling process. This
readable and authoritative treatment of the physics of these measurements dispels the
"black magic" of well log interpretation by relating them, including those obtained by
the latest generation of tools, to rock physics. It offers a thorough exposé of the physical
basis of borehole geophysical measurements, as well as an introduction to practical
petrophysics -- extracting desired properties from well log measurements.
"Well Logging for Earth Scientists", 2 nd edition, is thoroughly revised and extended with
three new chapters, many new illustrations and expanded and updated references in each
chapter.
Audience: This graduate level textbook with many exercises can also serve as a useful
handbook for practicing earth scientists (geophysicists, geologists, or petroleum
engineers).
