The Basic Log Interpretation Chart

The document is a log that contains multiple readings from well logging tools, including gamma ray, resistivity, neutron porosity, density, and sonic logs. The logs show readings through different rock formations including sandstone, shale, limestone, dolostone, coal, anhydrite, and halite. The logs can indicate properties like porosity, fluid content, lithology, and saturation. Readings may be affected by borehole conditions and tool standoff due to washouts or cave-ins. Together the logs provide information about the subsurface geology and fluid content of the formations penetrated by the well.
