2. Compositions of the Uphole- Downhole Instruments. Uphole Instruments include the Logging Truck and the Rig. The logging Truck mainly consists of mechanical Winches and ordinary driving machine. Downhole Instruments are represented by Cables and Sondes. Sondes differ in function from measurement to another based on the required physical property to be measured (GR, Resistivity, Neutron, Sonic, Density, Magnetic, Thermal, etc) Sonde normally consists of two main parts: - Sensor: It is an electronically complicated part used for picking the required property. It is usually shielded with fibers in the modern tools. - Cartridge: Surrounding the sensor in the modern tools and do three functions: - * Powering the sensor to be ON/OFF. - * Processing the acquired data (First step of processing). - * Data transmission along cables to the up-hole instruments.

7. Log Runs

8. Borehole Environment When a hole is drilled into a formation, the rock and the fluids in it (rock-fluid system) are altered in the vicinity of the borehole. A well’s borehole and the rock surrounding it are contaminated by the drilling mud, which affects logging measurements. Figure 1 is a schematic illustration of a porous and permeable formation which is penetrated by a borehole filled with drilling mud.

12. dh – hole diameter di – diameter of invaded zone (inner boundary; flushed zone) dj – diameter of invaded zone (outer boundary; invaded zone) Drj – radius of invaded zone (outer boundary) hmc – thickness of mudcake Rm – resistivity of the drilling mud Rmc – resistivity of the mudcake Rmf – resistivity of mud filtrate Rs – resistivity of shale Rt – resistivity of uninvaded zone (true resistivity) Rw – resistivity of formation water Rxo – resistivity of flushed zone Sw – water saturation of uninvaded zone Sxo – water saturation of flushed zone

13. Invasion Profile

16. An annulus profile is often recorded on a log because it rapidly dissipates in a well. The annulus profile is detected only by an induction log run soon after a well is drilled. However, it is very important to a geologist because the profile can only occur in zones which bear hydrocarbons. As the mud filtrate invades the hydrocarbon-bearing zone, hydrocarbons move out first. Next, formation water is pushed out in front of the mud filtrate forming an annular (circular) ring at the edge of the invaded zone. The annulus effect is detected by a relatively lower resistivity values. Annulus zone
