RECENT PUBLICATIONS FROM THE LOGGING LITERATURE

• IMAGE LOG INTERPRETATION
  Utilizing well bore image data to determine the complete stress tensor application to permeability anisotropy and wellbore stability, Colleen Barton et al., 1997, The Log Analyst, v. 38(6), p. 21-33. About the best reference on the subject in terms of completeness, connection to the past literature,and reference to the full array of borehole image logs.
  
  
• INDUCTION LOG RESOLUTION
  Enhanced evaluation of sand-shale sequences using macroscopic electrical anisotropy, Rick Mollison and Alberto Mezzatesta, 2000,Petrophysics, v. 41(1), p. 18-22. Deals with thin bed effects in electric log interpretation.
  
  
• BED GEOMETRY EFFECTS ON INDUCTION LOGS
  The response of multi-array induction tools in highly dipping formations with invasion in arbitrary 3D geometries, Barbara Anderson et al., 1999, The Log Analyst, v. 40(5), p. 327-344. Discusses the effects of directional drilling on induction logs in general, showing that major problems do not arise until the borehole axis is off perpendicular more than 60 degrees.
  
  
• ELECTRICAL ANISOTROPY EFFECTS
  The paradox of anisotropy revisited, Stan Gianzro, The Log Analyst, v. 40(6), p. 485-491.
  
  
• DIGITAL LOG DATA STANDARDS
  Log ASCII standard (LAS) version 3.0, Kenneth Hesslop et al., 1999, The Log Analyst, v. 40 (6), p. 492-498.
  
  
• CORRECTING LOGS FOR SHALE EFFECTS
  An integrated approach to determine shale volume and hydrocarbon potential in shaley sands in the Gulf of Suez, G.M. Hamada, 1999, The Log Analyst, v. 40(3), p. 218-225. Although with an oil-field bias, this is a good review of all of the various quantitative ways to eliminate clay or shale effects from logs.
  
  
• THIN BED RESOLUTION
  Thin bed information resolution of well logs and its application, Quian and Zhong, 1999, The Log Analyst, v. 40(1), p. 15-23.
