    Induction Resistivity Tool is preferred over Latero-Type tools in non conductive muds .

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The Induction Resistivity Tool is preferred over Latero-Type tools in non-conductive muds because it is specifically designed to measure resistivity in low-conductivity formations. Non-conductive muds have low electrical conductivity, which can cause inaccurate readings with Latero-Type tools. The Induction Resistivity Tool uses electromagnetic induction to measure resistivity, making it more accurate and reliable in non-conductive muds. Therefore, it is true that the Induction Resistivity Tool is preferred over Latero-Type tools in these conditions.

    Temperature range for oil window is :

    • 0 -100 degree celsius

    • 60-175 degree celsius

    • 100-325 degree celsius

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. 60-175 degree celsius
    Explanation
    The temperature range for the oil window is 60-175 degrees Celsius. This range represents the optimal temperature range for the formation and maturation of oil. Below 60 degrees Celsius, the temperature is too low for oil formation, while above 175 degrees Celsius, the temperature is too high and the oil begins to break down. Therefore, the oil window refers to the specific temperature range in which oil can be formed and preserved.

    High Resistivity is always indicator of Hydrocarbons .

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    High resistivity is not always an indicator of hydrocarbons. Resistivity is a measure of how much a material resists the flow of electric current. While hydrocarbons generally have low resistivity, there are other factors that can also result in high resistivity, such as the presence of certain minerals or fluids in the subsurface. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that high resistivity always indicates the presence of hydrocarbons.

    Depth of Investigation of Focussed Current resistivity tools is less than unfocussed tools .

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is false. Depth of investigation of focused current resistivity tools is actually greater than that of unfocused tools. Focused current resistivity tools use a smaller current electrode spacing, which allows for a more concentrated current and better resolution at greater depths. Unfocused tools, on the other hand, have a larger current electrode spacing, resulting in a wider current spread and shallower depth of investigation. Therefore, the depth of investigation of focused current resistivity tools is greater than unfocused tools.

    Litho-density Log works on the principle of :

    • Compton Scattering

    • Photoelectric absorption

    • Pair production

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Photoelectric absorption
    Explanation
    The Litho-density Log works on the principle of photoelectric absorption. This principle states that when X-rays pass through a material, they may be absorbed by the atoms in the material, resulting in the ejection of electrons. The degree of absorption depends on the atomic number of the material, which allows the Litho-density Log to measure the density of the formation being logged. Compton scattering and pair production are not directly related to the working principle of the Litho-density Log.

    Correct Answer
    A. Gamma Ray scattered from the formation
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Gamma Ray scattered from the formation." In a density log, gamma rays are emitted from a source and then scattered by the formation. The scattered gamma rays are detected, and the intensity of the detected gamma rays is related to the density of the formation. This scattering process allows for the measurement of the formation's density.
