How Ancient Logs Work and How to Use Them

ITEM #RF-03

ITEM #RF-03S

This Reference Manual and Short Course cover visual and numerical log analysis methods for logs run before 1960. Topics include electrical survey (ES). spontaneous potential (SP), micrologs, laterologs, old style neutron, sonic and density logs, as well as ancient gamma ray logs. Solutions for shale volume, porosity, and water saturation are provided for most combinations of these tools. A special section is included on Russian-style logs for those who need to assess potential in FSU areas. These logs were still being run as recently as 2016, so if you work Eastern Europe or Central Asia, you will need this course.

 QUICK FACTS:
Item #RF-03: 116 pages, 4 chapters, detailed table of contents, computer-ready math.

Item #RF-03S: 2 narrated video slideshows, with lecture notes and exercises.
