QUANTIFYING FINE GRAINED ROCKS FROM LOGS AND THEIR RELATION SHIP WITH PORE PRESSURE AND STRATIGRAPHY

On this project work on the title “Quantifying fine grained rocks from logs and there relation ship with pore pressure and stratigraphy” there are two main parts. The first part in literature review on shaly sands and shale which are normally used for the entire class of fine-grained sedimentary roc...
