Base log

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000282

The initial set of wireline logs acquired in a newly drilled well, typically including resistivity, porosity (density, neutron, sonic), and gamma ray measurements. These logs provide fundamental petrophysical data for formation evaluation, reservoir characterization, and well planning. They serve as a baseline for future logging runs and production monitoring.
