borehole electrical measurements
1Electrical resistivity tomography — (ERT) or electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) is a geophysical technique for imaging sub surfaces structures from electrical measurements made at the surface, or by electrodes in one or more boreholes. It is closely related to the medical imaging …
2Archie's law — In petrophysics, Archie s law relates the in situ electrical conductivity of sedimentary rock to its porosity and brine saturation: :C t = C w phi^m S w^n Here, phi denotes the porosity, C t the electrical conductivity of the fluid saturated rock …
3Earth exploration — Introduction the investigation of the surface of the Earth and of its interior. By the beginning of the 20th century most of the Earth s surface had been explored, at least superficially, except for the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Today the… …

5Earth Sciences — ▪ 2009 Introduction Geology and Geochemistry The theme of the 33rd International Geological Congress, which was held in Norway in August 2008, was “Earth System Science: Foundation for Sustainable Development.” It was attended by nearly… …
6Wireline Logging — consists of measuring and recording the physical properties of the rocks in oil wells. Logging consists of introducing sensors in a borehole via a wireline , an electromechanical cable. Power and control is provided to the sensors inside the… …
7Magnetometer — A magnetometer is a measuring instrument used to measure the strength or direction of a magnetic field either produced in the laboratory or existing in nature. Some countries such as the USA, Canada and Australia classify the more sensitive… …
8Formation evaluation — In petroleum exploration and development, formation evaluation is used to determine the ability of a borehole to produce petroleum. Essentially, it is the process of recognizing a commercial well when you drill one .Modern rotary drilling usually …
