2. Role of Different Disciplines
Logging play any important role in exploration and production industry?
Can be comparable with other techniques ?
Really logging is a replacement of core recovery and analysis?
Cost effective ?

Well ,log ,logging,………?
Log interpretation.
6. Logging : the process of continuous recording of parameters w.r.to depth that is to
obtain comprehensive information about formations in the bore hole by lowering
the tool
Log: the record that contains obtained and required basic information about the
parameters in the bole

Why a log analyst limited his aim to

?
Log analyst can do but accuracy …..because cant estimate exact S hc = (1-S hr)
need help of core analyst of viscosity ,permeability ….

Grains(Majority)/
Other Fragments (Non Majority)/
Cement (Quit Limited))
Processing Engineer:
Matrix (Sand Stone)
K-Na, Ca Al Si3 O8

14. Shales: Frame work ,Matrix, Cement are Clay Minerals
( Kaolinite,Montmorilllonite,Illite)
Minute percentage of Non Clay Minerals.
90% Clay Minerals
K Feldspar derived Radio Active K rich clays
Rain water derived U,Th Br salts
K (12%),U Th (<500ppm)
Laminar (separate layers of fine grains)
Dispersed (spreaded clusters of fine grains in coarse grains)
Structural (distribution mixture of fine grains in coarse grains)
Which shale effects the formation more? Why?
Dispersed(assumptions become wrong;cant locate cluster and estimate its
distribution beyond well surroundings) >Structural>Laminar
Salt : 100% NaCl (general) or 0-10% KCl +90-100%NaCl (rare)
Brazile wells shows high gama in salt formations because of KCl presence ,in past
north brazilen sea having more KCl salt
15. Why anhydrate or gypsum are tops of salt(local gravity high)?
During evaporation of sea water more saturate solution of NaCl formed and precipitated,
still some minerals remain finally precipitated at top of the salt ,
at the end of the evaporation react with H2O form anhydrate or gypsum.
