Well Log Response Analysis Guide

This document describes typical well log responses for different rock and fluid types. It lists the main lithology and fluid columns and shows how properties like gamma ray, caliper, SP, density, neutron, resistivity, and sonic readings generally respond in each case. These well logs can be used to identify rocks and fluids, estimate shale content, locate fractures, determine porosity and salinity, and perform facies mapping, correlation, and other analyses.
