1..well Logging An Introduction

This document provides an introduction to well logging. It discusses the main types of well logs including mud logs obtained during drilling, wireline logs run after drilling, and logging while drilling (LWD) logs. Mud logs provide real-time data on drilling parameters and cuttings. Wireline logs use tools lowered into wells on a cable to measure formation properties like resistivity, gamma radiation, and sonic velocity. LWD tools measure similar properties directly during drilling operations. The document explains the purpose and examples of common wireline logs and how they are interpreted to identify lithology, fluid content, and structures in geological formations.

Usefulness of Mud in drilling

 Cool, lubricate, and support the bit and drilling assembly

 Remove cuttings from well

 Control formation pressures

 Maintain wellbore stability

 Minimizing formation damage

 Control corrosion (in acceptable level)

 Minimize impact on environment

What are Wireline logs?

Logs obtained through tools


run on an open-hole or
cased wellbore using an
electric wireline logging
truck.

Schlumberger (1989)
Wireline Logs

 Continuous record;

Depth (m)
relatively inexpensive

 Used for:
 Formation tops (depths)
 Thickness of formations
 Lithology
 Porosity
 Type(s) of fluid(s)
 Structures (bedding,
fractures)
 Hole conditions
 Etc.

Common Types of Wireline Logs

• Caliper Logs: Hole quality


indicator; Borehole breakout
analysis; Cement volume analysis

• Gamma-ray: Lithology indicator


(high GR for clays).

• Spontaneous Potential (SP):


Lithology indicator (sensitive to
salinity and relative permeability
across bed boundaries).

Common Types of Wireline Logs

• Resistivity/Conductivity: Fluid
saturations.
• Sonic: Porosity, seismic
correlation, mechanical properties.
• Photoelectric Factor (PE):
Lithology indicator.
• Bulk Density: Porosity, gas
detection.
• Neutron Porosity: Porosity, gas
detection.
• Borehole Image Logs: Identify
the presence, characteristics and
orientation of bedding or fracture
planes. Schlumberger (1989)
