Application of 
Borehole
Imaging in Geologic Studies
Abstract
Electric and ultrasonic imaging tools record vast amounts of high-resolution data around the borehole wall. This ability allows the geoscientist to describe, in detail, geologic features that are essential for stratigraphic and structural analyses and improved reservoir characterizations.
This study presents examples of borehole images from a variety of formations that have been interpreted with assistance of a graphics workstation. These examples show how borehole images can be used to measure dip magnitude and direction of formation beds, fractures, faults, and cross-bedding. Examples of borehole
images compared to cores illustrate how imaging data can be used to identify rock texture and other sedimentary features needed for detailed strati-graphic analysis and reservoir characterization.
