Acerca del autor

Jürgen H. Schön is a consulting petrophysicist and Honorary Professor at Montanuniversität Leoben. Schön was educated at Bergakademie Freiberg (Mining Institute of Freiberg), Germany, where in 1962 he graduated with a Diploma in geophysics; in 1967 he received his Doctor of Natural Science. In his career, Schön has held a variety of academic positions: at the Bergakademie Freiberg he was Professor and Head of the Geophysics Department (1987-1991). In 1991, he moved to the Institute of Applied Geophysics, Joanneum Research, in Leoben, Austria; where, from 2000 to 2004, he was the science manager of the geophysical institute. In 1993, he was a visiting Professor at the Colorado School of Mines. In 1999 he became Honorary Professor at the Montanuniversität Leoben. In his academic positions he was also a thesis supervisor for students studying formation evaluation. Since 1999 he has expanded his teaching beyond university and has taught training courses (Petrophysics, Formation Evaluation) for industry.

De la contraportada

This book focuses on the applications of geophysics in addressing rock properties for petroleum geoscience, geotechnical, and geothermal applications. Sophisticated geophysical techniques deliver a fascinating collection of physical data but they are essentially indirect: information on the velocity of seismic waves, electrical conductivity, nuclear spectra, etc. must be translated in terms of lithology, porosity, fracturing, fluid saturation, permeability, and geomechanical properties. Petrophysical data analysis is one of the key technologies for characterizing reservoirs and for prediction of relevant reservoir parameters using well-log and surface geophysical (seismic) data.

Individual chapters cover reservoir properties, petrophysical aspects of NMR, density, electrical, elastic, mechanical, nuclear, thermal, and magnetic rock properties. In a special chapter, selected relationships are presented as a foundation for combined interpretation.

Presenting the fundamentals of rock physics and combined interpretation techniques, the book may be used as a handbook as well as a textbook for the large community of geoscientists and reservoir engineers.

• Presents all practical relevant properties of rock in one volume
• Experimental and theoretical fundamentals in a systematic framework
• Special focus on relationships between properties
