Product Description

This revised and rewritten edition presents an account of the various open-hole log tools and the data they generate. In particular, it provides a comprehensive geological interpretation of the derived data enabling the geologist to capitalize fully upon well data. Early chapters consider each of the principal open-hole logging tools and measurements made are discussed in terms of simple theory and acquisition of data. Dipmeter and image logs are included. The lithological, environmental, stratigraphic and sequence stratigraphic interpretation of the full log suite is then described, using real examples from around the world.

I strongly recommend this book and believe that it will be an invaluable reference source.

Dr Rider has provided a clear introduction to the fundamentals of wireline logging methods and to log interpretation.

Customer Reviews

A "must" for well logging
This is "the book" for logging. The book deals with most common techniques. After a short physical introduction the author continues with some case studies. I would prefer an additional chapter, in which a joint interpretation of all mentioned logging method would take place. Furthermore, NMR is now a common logging tool. But this new method is not mentioned in the book.
Therefore, my wish: please update the book in order to become my favourite book in geological interpretation of well logs.

Essential for all wellsite geologists
Many wellsite geologists I have worked with either possess a copy of this book, or intend to. It is well written and detailed and draws together
elements of petrophysics and geology in terms of log responses. It is an extremely useful referance to have at the wellsite.
