Oil & gas; Oilfield

A log that has been generated from digital data some time after the actual acquisition of the data. It is distinct from the acquisition log. Some of the parameters for processing ...

full waveform

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A log or a recording in which the complete signal received at an acoustic transducer is recorded. With full-waveform recording, it is possible to determine the slowness not only ...

resistivity log

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A log of the resistivity of the formation, expressed in ohm-m. The resistivity can take a wide range of values, and, therefore, for convenience is usually presented on a ...

dielectric propagation log

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A log of the high-frequency (on the order of 25 MHz) dielectric properties of the formation. The log usually includes two curves the relative dielectric permittivity, symbolized ...

PEF

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A log of photoelectric absorption properties. The log measures the photoelectric absorption factor, P e , which is defined as (Z/10) 3. 6 where Z is the average atomic number of ...

quadrant density

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A log of formation density from one of the quadrants of an azimuthal density tool.

geochemical log

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A log of elemental concentrations from which the geochemistry of the formation may be derived. Several logs provide information on elemental weight concentrations: natural gamma ...
