Description
Practical Petrophysics, Second Edition, Volume 62 provides a comprehensive overview of building a petrophysical model. All aspects from the principles of data acquisition through analysis to reporting are covered. This is not intended to be a review of specific tools and measurements, nor is it simply a recipe book. The book aims to teach the fundamental principles that underlie the commonly used tools and techniques but also to encourage pragmatism and avoid reading too much into what is always imperfect data.
About the Author
Martin Kennedy is a practicing Petrophysicist now based in Australia. He started work as a Wireline Logging Engineer and has been involved in some aspect of Petrophysics ever since. After leaving the field he spent over twenty years working as a Petrophysicist for the UK Government and three different oil and gas companies before becoming an independent consultant in 2008. He now works for a wide variety of organisations assisting with everything from single well operations to field development and technical assurance. He has worked in most of the major petroleum basins around the world and has covered everything from clean porosity sandstones to fractured basement. Whilst petroleum still takes up the majority of his time, his work increasingly involves so-called New Energy areas like CCUS and Hydrogen. The material in this book and his approach to petrophysical analysis has been shaped by his nearly 40 years in the business. He has a degree in Chemistry from the University of Bristol University and a Ph.D in Electrical Engineering from the University of Edinburgh.
