DIPMETER AND BOREHOLE IMAGE LOGGING

Borehole imaging tools provide an image of the borehole wall that is typically based on physical property contrasts. There are currently a wide variety of imaging tools available, though these predominately fall into two categories: resistivity and acoustic imaging tools. The application of image logs in our industry has long been undervalued or not fully appreciated. The interpretation of images is a skill that needs to be learned and the best way to do so is with some of the industries’ leading interpreters. Borehole images, both wireline, and LWD can fill a vital data gap between core and seismic data.
