Unit 2: Geophysical Properties of the Subsurface
Compiled by Lee Slater, Rutgers University Newark (lslater@newark.rutgers.edu)
Archie (1950) defined the term petrophysics to describe the study of the physics of rocks, particularly with respect to the fluids they contain. Although originally focused on geophysical exploration, petrophysics ...
