| Synthetic Micro-Normal Resistivity (SMNO) |
This is an acronym for a well log used in the oil and gas industry. The code SMNO is a unique identifier to recognize this particular log and can be found in any (ASCII) log files provided by the logging company. The official name for this log is 'Synthetic Micro-Normal Resistivity'. This log is often used in the industry. This log can be used to evaluate the micro Resistivity measurement using a "normal" electrode arrangement; traditionally combined with Micro Inverse Resistivity in a Microlog survey for identifying permeable beds. Concluding, this is a measure of the measurement of the resistivity of the formation within the first few inches of the borehole wall.This log usually has the unit 'Resistivity'. This is the property of a material which resists the flow of electrical current. The ratio of electric-field intensity to current density. The reciprocal of conductivity. Data for this log is produced by a tool that uses a normal logging technique and can be used to investigate the resistivity of the formation. Similar logs are listed below:
