Record 2 2000-01-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geophysics
  • Geological Prospecting
DEF

The generic term for a well log that displays electrical measurements of induced current flow (resistivity log, induction log) or natural potentials (spontaneous-potential curve in the rocks of an uncased borehole.

CONT

An electric log typically consists of the spontaneous-potential (SP) curve and one or more resistivity or induction curves. The Archie equations form the basis for interpretation of electric logs.

OBS

elec log: ... abbreviation for electric log; used in drilling reports.

OBS

resistivity log: As a spontaneous-potential curve is commonly present in resistivity logs, the term resistivity log is often used as a synonym of electric log, but it is an informal synonym.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Géophysique
  • Prospection géologique
DEF

Enregistrement des résistivités ou des conductivités des formations et des potentiels spontanés qui prennent naissance dans les sondages.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
DEF

A method for the measurement of flow of water based on the nearly linear relationship between the concentration and the electrical conductivity of a salt solution, which makes it possible to determine the degree of dilution by integrating a conductivity-time graph.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
DEF

Méthode pour mesurer le débit d’eau, reposant sur la relation à peu près linéaire entre la concentration et la conductivité électrique d’une solution saline, qui permet de déterminer le degré de dilution par intégration du diagramme conductivité-temps.
