Digital Well Logs

Digital well logs are electronic records that record detailed information about the geological formations encountered during an oil or gas drilling operation. Using specialized tools lowered into the well, they measure properties like rock types, porosity, and fluid content. This data is transmitted digitally to create visual representations that help geologists and engineers analyze the subsurface, identify potential reservoirs, and make informed decisions about extracting resources. Essentially, digital well logs provide a comprehensive, real-time map of what lies beneath the Earth's surface without the need for multiple physical samples.
