Investigation of petrophysical properties for Yamamma carbonate formation

Given the knowledge of the rock type, porosity, Archie's parameters and water saturation can be determined by using different logging devices. For example, if a density logging tool is to be used, the rock matrix density must be known in order to determine the porosity. Likewise, using sonic lo...
