The downhole equipment of today's high resolution dipmeter tool (HDTTM? has two perpendicular, extendable pairs of arms. Each arm carries a pad, which is hydraulically pressed against the wall of the hole during logging. A microfocused conductivity (dipmeter) curve This paper describes a new method for processing dipmeter logs. Each correlation curve is decomposed into a depth-ordered sequence of ranked elements (geological events reflected as curve features). These curve elements are correlated from curve to curve, with higher-quality correlations accepted first. This method has much greater resolution for definition of thin-bed boundaries than conventional techniques. 232 JOURNAL OF PETROLEUM TECHNOLOGY
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
