Author Description

This 55-minute program discusses both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of effective fractured-reservoir evaluation. Ronald Nelson discusses the geological and petrophysical data necessary to make an early evaluation, either during the exploration or early developmental phases. As such, prediction rather than detection is emphasized. This popular talk was part of the 1982 AAPG Distinguished Lecturer Series. American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) Founded in 1917, AAPG is the world's largest professional geological society. AAPG is a pillar of the world-wide scientific community. Our books foster timely scientific research, advance the science of geology and promote the most efficient methods of energy exploration & processing technology and practices available today. Some of the areas we publish in include: Well Log Analysis Geological Modeling Carbonate Petrology Seismic Imaging Reservoir Characterization Regional Petroleum Analysis Tectonics and Sedimentation Stratigraphy
