Borehole Imaging in the Permian Basin

Lee Sanders, Kevan Fuchs

Abstract

Current borehole imaging Previous HitapplicationsNext Hit in the Permian Basin combine information derived from both the image Previous HitlogNext Hit and conventional open hole logs as an integral part of the formation evaluation process. The high resolution of the imaging tools provides digital values that can be transformed into a curve format that allows for a detailed Previous HitanalysisNext Hit of the geological events as reflected on the borehole wall. This method of micro-resistivity Previous HitanalysisTop can then be used in defining depositional facies in sedimentary rocks, ranking the intensity of naturally occurring fractures and understanding the petrophysical properties that define hydrocarbon producing zones.
