The abreviatin stands for 'Formation factor'. This log is not used too often in the industry. The values of this log represent the ratio of the resistivity of water-saturated rock to that of the water solution contained in the rock. Also called Formation Resistivity Factor and abbreviated "F".This log in unitless. Either the log measurements can not be expressed with a unit (eg. a ratio) or the unit is unknown to us.
Data from this log can be used to investigate the formation resistivity factor of the formation. Similar logs are listed below:
