Based on advanced maintenance models developed during FAA certification of 747 aircraft, reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) is used to control maintenance costs while improving reliability. Author Jim August tells you how RCM makes sense for electric utilities that have been forced to control maintenance costs and improve reliability in the throes of conversion to retail competition.

Item Description:
Binding: Hardcover Book and CD Set
Shipping
For calculating additional shipping cost, for shipping outside of the U.S.A. shipping weight is: Four (4) pounds
Narrative
Basic Well Log Analysis is a general introduction to common open hole logging measurements, both wire line and MWD/LWD, and the interpretation of those measurements to determine the traditional analytical goals of porosity, fluid saturation, and lithology/mineralogy. It is arranged by the interpretation goals of the data, rather than by the underlying physics of the measurements.
The accompanying CD-ROM contains digital versions of the data from the case studies, a summary guide to the measurements and their interpretation, and a simple spreadsheet containing some of the more common interpretation algorithms.
This Second Edition of Basic Well Log Analysis delivers a great impact on training and self-training along with superior workbook exercises, newer measurements, borehole imaging, and nuclear magnetic resonance in separate chapters, all directed to provide a guide through the lengthy and sometimes ambiguous terminology of well logging and petro physics. It provides readers with interpretation examples (and solutions) so that the techniques described here can be practiced. |
