Note: A companion book Cased Hole Log Interpretation Principles/Applications-1989, provides similar
information for cased hole services. Throughout this document references are made to charts, nomograms, and tables necessary for quantitative interpretation of data from our various logging tools. Refer
to the Schlumberger Log Znqvretution Chart--1989 book for the most up-to-date version of these charts.
