formation resistivity log
1resistivity log — n a measure of the voltage differential of strata along the walls of a borehole when electrical current is passed through the strata. The resistivity log requires a fluidfilled hole to provide a conductive medium constantly between electrodes on… …
2Formation 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 …
3Resistivity logging — is a method of characterizing the rock or sediment in a borehole by measuring its electrical resistivity. Resistivity is a fundamental material property which represents how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current. In these logs …

9Earth 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… …
10Spontaneous potential — In the field of formation evaluation, spontaneous potential (SP) is a naturally occurring electric potential difference in the Earth, measured by an electrode in a borehole relative to a fixed reference electrode on the surface. SP was first… …
