A plot representing the effect of invasion on resistivity measurements that have different depths of investigation. The plot assumes a step-profile model of invasion and determines true resistivity, ...

longitudinal plot

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A plot of the longitudinal component of the dip vector computed from a dipmeter. Longitudinal plots are used in the SCAT (Statistical Curvature Analysis Technique) method of interpreting dipmeter ...

fractal

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A special mathematical geometry with properties that reproduce a pattern over a range of scales. They can contain some variations so that the patterns do not perfectly repeat. This geometry claims to ...

long-spacing sonic log

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A sonic tool with a longer transmitter-to-receiver spacing (generally 10 to 15 ft) than a standard sonic tool. The rock near the borehole is sometimes altered by drilling fluids, stress relief, or ...

completion fluid

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A solids-free liquid used to "complete" an oil or gas well. This fluid is placed in the well to facilitate final operations prior to initiation of production, such as setting screens production ...
