WHAT IS
PETROPHYSIC?
Petra means rock Physis means nature
Core analysis
Fluid analysis
Well Logging
Rw : The formation water resistivity
Sw = (aRw/ømRt)1/n
Sw = (aRw/ømRt)1/2
CALIPER
Used to:
Indication of hole diameter and volume
Qualitative indication of permeability
Correlation
Log Quality Control
SPONTANEUS POTENTIAL
A record of Direct Current (DC) voltage (or Potential) that develops naturally
(spontaneous) between a moveable electrode in the well and a fixed electrode located
at the surface
SP readings are caused by differences in salinities between mud filtrate and formation
waters in permeable beds.
SSP (Static Spontaneous Potential) is maximum SP that a thick, shale free, porous, and
permeable formation can have for a given ratio between Rmf and Rw
