Imaging tools are sophisticated descendants of dipmeter tools and provide vertical resolution of less than one centimeter if sufficient contrast is present. Such resolution makes possible a great number of structural and stratigraphic applications. These include the identification, orientation and angle of fractures, determination of degrees of fracture fill, paleotransport and identification of fine sedimentologic features sometimes not apparent in cores.

The deep water turbidites examined are from tests in Green Canyon Block 562, a behind-outcrop test well of the Lewis Formation (Wyoming) and a quarried channel exposure of the Jackfork Formation (Arkansas). Image logs calibrated to core showcase the vertical resolution of this tool, even in oil-based muds.
