Basic Relationships of Well Log Interpretation
store-assets.aapg.orgRock properties or characteristics that affect log-ging measurements are: porosity, lithology, mineralo-gy, permeability, and water saturation. Additionally, the resistivity of the rock is important because it is directly measured and is an essential part in the inter-pretation process. It is essential that the reader under-
