Questions and Answers

Why is it important to correlate and depth match logs?

  • To ensure petrophysical measurements are represented at the same depth (correct)
  • To identify different types of drilling mud
  • To count the number of drill strings used
  • To measure the pump pressure in the well

What is one of the main purposes of logs in the interpretation process?

  • Determining the lithology of the formation (correct)
  • Calculating the drilling speed
  • Identifying the drill bit used
  • Measuring the temperature of the well

Which property of zones is determined during interpretation using logs?

  • Porosity of the zones of interest (correct)
  • Density of the drilling fluid
  • Color of the rock formations
  • Viscosity of the hydrocarbons
