Tail

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003750

The trailing portion of a logging tool's response curve, where the signal gradually returns to baseline after passing a distinct formation boundary. This effect is due to the finite resolution and investigation depth of the tool. It can obscure thin beds or subtle changes in formation properties.
