Sedimentary environments from wireline logs / Осадочные среды по данным каротажа

Our modern society has a constant need for raw materials and energy. An on-going effort in exploration and research is necessary, therefore, to discover and develop them. And, in this effort, it is better to appeal to geology than to rely on chance.
Geology is by definition *the study of the planet Earth. It is concerned with the origin of the planet, the material and morphology of the Earth, and its history and the processes that acted (and act) upon it to affect its historic and present forms" (Glossary of Geology, 1980).
This study, even when it includes fundamental research, is aimed at a better understanding of the influences that have formed, transformed and modelled our planet, of the laws ruling the formation of rocks, their distribution, their transformation, their deformation, and of the laws governing the accumulation of those raw materials which are of economic interest. This scientific guidance is available to help us discover the low cost minerals and energy resources that humanity needs so much. <...>
