Well Log Interpretation

Well log interpretation involves analyzing data collected from tools lowered into a borehole to understand subsurface rock formations. These logs measure properties like electrical conductivity, density, and natural radioactivity, helping geologists and engineers identify rock types, fluid content (oil, gas, water), and formation conditions. By interpreting this information, professionals can assess a site’s potential for resources, ensure safe drilling, and optimize extraction strategies. In essence, well log interpretation provides a detailed, real-time picture of what lies beneath the surface, aiding informed decision-making in exploration and development activities.
