Synopsis

Production Logging: Theoretical and Interpretive Elements brings together valuable information on production logging measurements and interpretation procedures. A "must have" information source, this volume is a great starting point for petroleum engineers faced with obtaining and interpreting production logs. Learn how to determine which log or combination of logs to run (and which logs not to run) to accomplish given logging objectives, understand the procedures that must be followed to obtain the most information with each log, make an initial interpretation of commonly used production logs, and appreciate the relative accuracies of various logs in a wide range of well conditions.
