Abstract

With the deepening of our discuss about the physical properties of the underground formations, some other characters in addition to the already introduced basic parameters (e.g., the particle-size composition, the surface ratio, the porosity, the compressibility, the saturation, and the permeability) should be involved in this book, so as to present a more overall introduction of the reservoir rocks. Here, the knowledge to be introduced includes the rock electrical conductivity, thermal properties, and radioactivity.
