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.
