03 Featured publication
Elsevier · 2018
ISBN 978-0-12-812204-4
A practical reference connecting borehole acoustic measurements with the physics of reservoir rocks. The book explains how wave propagation, logging and waveform interpretation can inform reservoir evaluation, using core studies and field examples.
Written for geoscientists, petroleum professionals and students, it combines the underlying models with workflows for exploration, development and drilling support.
