Introduction to geophysical formation evaluation / Введение в геофизическую оценку пластов

This volume, Introduction to Geophysical Formation Evaluation, is intended as a practical volume for the engineer, environmentalist, geologist, miner, exploration manager, and student. Although it contains some relatively detailed analyses, it is not intended to be used to design geophysical instruments, but rather, how to use them. Its focus is on the petroleum usage of geophysical methods: petroleum-funded research and engineering is where about 90% of present-day geophysical methods originate. Non-hydrocarbon methods and practice, as well as other-than-borehole methods are planned for subsequent books. It is important to know where these methods originate. 
Some of the newer instruments and/ or techniques have purposely been left out; others have been included, even though they are not yet available in the field. Still others have also been included, although they have fallen into apparent disuse. The author has attemptted to judge the future value of all of the instruments and techniques; obviously, this attempt is not going to be 100% successful, and revisions will no doubt have to be made to correct these mistakes. This is a rapidly changing field; even the approaches and character of the discipline are changing, making it difficult to keep up them.  <...>
