Basic petroleum geology and log analysis / Основы нефтяной геологии и каротажный анализ

Geology is the science that deals with the history and structure of the earth and its life forms, especially as recorded in the rock record. A basic understanding of its concepts and processes is essential in the petroleum industry, for it is used to predict where oil accumulations might occur. It is the job of the petroleum geologist to use his/her knowledge to reconstruct the geologic history of an area to determine whether the formations are likely to contain petroleum reservoirs. It is also the job of the geologist to determine whether the recovery and production of these hydrocarbons will be commercially profitable.
The physical characteristics of a reservoir, how petroleum originated and in what type of rock, what types of fluids exist in the reservoir, how hydrocarbons become trapped, and basic well log analysis are some of the concepts vital to the production and recovery efforts of any exploration or energy service company.<...>
