ELECTRIC LOGS:

 

Electric logs are a select group of well logs that use the flow of electric current in the formations surrounding a well for measurement.

 

The names of the logs that fall within this group and their hydrologic applicability are as follows:

 

NAME:                                                  Lithology         Bed                  Formation        Invaded           Flushed            Mud (1)       Formation

                                                            Correlation      Thickness         Resistivity       Resistivity       Resistivity            Resistivity       water Resistivity
