Application of geophysical well logs in solving geologic issues:Past,present and future prospect

扫码查看
Geophysical well logs are widely used in geological fields,however,there are considerable incompatibil-ities existing in solving geological issues using well log data.This review critically fills the gaps between geology and geophysical well logs,as assessed from peer reviewed papers and from the authors'personal experiences,in the particular goal of solving geological issues using geophysical well logs.The origin and history of geophysical logging are summarized.Next follows a review of the state of knowledge for geo-physical well logs in terms of type of specifications,vertical resolution,depth of investigations and demonstrated applications.Then the current status and advances in applications of geophysical well logs in fields of structural geology,sedimentary geology and petroleum geology are discussed.Well logs are used in structural and sedimentary geology in terms of structure detection,in situ stress evaluation,sed-imentary characterization,sequence stratigraphy division and fracture prediction.Well logs can also be applied in petroleum geology fields of optimizing sweet spots for hydraulic fracturing in unconventional oil and gas resource.Geophysical well logs are extending their application in other fields of geosciences,and geological issues will be efficiently solved via well logs with the improvements of advanced well log suits.Further work is required in order to improve accuracy and diminish uncertainties by introducing artificial intelligence.This review provides a systematic and clear descriptions of the applications of geo-physical well log data along with examples of how the data is displayed and processed for solving geo-logic problems.
