  3. Resistivity logging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistivity_logging

    Resistivity logging is a method of well logging that works by characterizing the rock or sediment in a borehole by measuring its electrical resistivity. Resistivity is a fundamental material property which represents how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current. In these logs, resistivity is measured using four electrical probes ...

  4. Well logging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_logging

    Well logging, also known as borehole logging is the practice of making a detailed record (a well log) of the geologic formations penetrated by a borehole.The log may be based either on visual inspection of samples brought to the surface (geological logs) or on physical measurements made by instruments lowered into the hole (geophysical logs).

  5. Spontaneous potential logging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_potential_logging

    e. Spontaneous potential log, commonly called the self potential log or SP log, is a passive measurement taken by oil industry well loggers to characterise rock formation properties. The log works by measuring small electric potentials (measured in millivolts) between depths with in the borehole and a grounded electrode at the surface.

  6. Mud logging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud_logging

    Mud logging is the creation of a detailed record ( well log) of a borehole by examining the cuttings of rock brought to the surface by the circulating drilling medium (most commonly drilling mud ). Mud logging is usually performed by a third-party mud logging company. This provides well owners and producers with information about the lithology ...

  7. Gamma ray logging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_ray_logging

    Sand section of interest is located at bottom of log where the log moves to the left. Gamma ray logging is a method of measuring naturally occurring gamma radiation to characterize the rock or sediment in a borehole or drill hole. It is a wireline logging method used in mining, mineral exploration, water-well drilling, for formation evaluation ...

  8. Logging (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logging_(computing)

    Logging (computing) In computing, logging is the act of keeping a log of events that occur in a computer system, such as problems, errors or just information on current operations. These events may occur in the operating system or in other software. A message or log entry is recorded for each such event.

  9. Work sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_sampling

    Work sampling is the statistical technique used for determining the proportion of time spent by workers in various defined categories of activity (e.g. setting up a machine, assembling two parts, idle…etc.). [1] It is as important as all other statistical techniques because it permits quick analysis, recognition, and enhancement of job ...
