EPILOGUE

A good well-logging interpretation program is like a double-edged sword. It must cut both ways. The program must find hydrocarbons where they exist and must not imply their existence where they do not exist. The purpose is to be accurate with consistent reliability. Together with interactive computer graphics, the author has used the foregoing logic and fundamentals as the skeletal framework to guide resistivity interpretations for many years in all parts of the world.
