Permeability that is the same in all directions. This never really occurs, but permeability along various directions of a formation is often close enough for calculation purposes. Read more →

A quality of directional uniformity in material such that physical properties do not vary in different directions. In rocks, changes in physical properties in different directions, such as the alignment of mineral… Read more →

The use of repeated forward modeling of a logging tool response to produce modeled logs that very closely match the measured logs. The final model is then the log analyst?s best estimate of the formation properties.… Read more →

Mathematical techniques that require an algorithm or equation to be repeated until a condition is met. These methods usually require the convergence of a result to a value. Computers are excellent tools for performing… Read more →
