Abstract
This chapter presents the two main methods of downhole formation evaluation, wireline logging (WL) and logging-while-drilling (LWD). These two methods utilize a variety of instruments to acquire a wide range of downhole measurements, which include electrical resistivity, electromagnetic propagation, spontaneous potential, gamma ray, neutron-porosity, nuclear magnetic resonance, acoustic, imaging, fluid sampling/testing and seismic, to interpret downhole formations and reservoirs. The logging instruments together with their designs and principles of measurement are also described.
