Introduction
Storing, managing, and retrieving the huge volume of data our industry can acquire with today's technologies is challenging. Authors address how a database helps companies to cope with ever-increasing amounts of data, streamlining data management and laying a foundation for future interpretation and development. Articles cover new techniques for fracture analysis, detection of heterogeneities, and determination of water saturation. Authors relate developments in borehole images, which can now identify the number, size, and type of fractures; in downhole well testing techniques, which improve the picture of reservoir heterogeneities such as faults; and in logging tools that allow us to derive more accurate values of formation water and oil saturations.
