Abstract

For the requirement of petroleum exploration, logging techniques develop rapidly. Several logging techniques are analyzed. High resolution array induction, microresistivity image well logging, three component induction resistivity logging and cross dipole acoustic logging tool are favorable for the research on formation heterogeneity and anisotropy. Nuclear magnetic resonance logging, cable formation test and sidewall coring improve the recognition of formation fluid. Recently, new logging technique of electrokinetic logging is proposed. The measuring principle and apparatus composition of new techniques from Schlumberger, Halliburton, Atlas, Computalog and Russia are introduced, which is helpful for the development of our current scientific research and production. The current status and difference of the logging technologies in China are discussed, and the developing direction is pointed out.
