Oilfield
deep induction
Oil & gas; Oilfield
A particular type of induction log that was designed to read deep into the formation while maintaining reasonable vertical resolution. The deep induction log (ID) is based on the measurement of a ...
broadside array
Oil & gas; Oilfield
A particular arrangement of transmitters and receivers used in the electromagnetic propagation measurement in which the dipoles used as sensors are oriented perpendicular to the axis of the tool. The ...
electrical survey
Oil & gas; Oilfield
A particular combination of a spontaneous potential log and three electrical logs consisting of a 16-in. (40-cm) short normal, a 64-in. (162-cm) long normal and an 18-ft, 8-in. (5. 7-m) lateral. With ...
Humble formula
Oil & gas; Oilfield
A particular relation between the formation factor (F) and porosity (phi) proposed by the Humble Oil Company. The original formula was expressed as F = 0. 62 / phi 2. 15 . A nearly equivalent ...
laminated sand
Oil & gas; Oilfield
A particular model, or equation, for deriving the water saturation from resistivity and other logs. The model assumes a laminar shale distribution and considers the total resistivity to be the sum in ...
Gaussian techniques
Oil & gas; Oilfield
A parametric approach to stochastic imaging or simulation of a reservoir. Simpler than the indicator (nonparametric) approach, Gaussian techniques include a normal score transform of the data to ...
