resistivity log

resistivity log
n
a measure of the voltage differential of strata along the walls of a borehole when electrical current is passed through the strata. The resistivity log requires a fluidfilled hole to provide a conductive medium constantly between electrodes on the tool. The spacing between the electrodes determines the precision of the bed boundary relationships in much the same manner as with the density log. The resistivity log is useful primarily in conjunction with other log types. The logs are affected by casing, logging speed, electrode spacing, formation porosity, and resistivity changes in the borehole fluid. D5192
