terms:formation_evaluation
The analysis and interpretation of well-log data, drill-stem tests, etc. in terms of the nature of the formations and their fluid content. The objectives of formation evaluation are (1) to ascertain if commercially producible hydrocarbons (or other forms of energy and minerals) are present, (2) to determine the best means for their recovery, and (3) to derive lithology and other information on formation characteristics for use in further exploration and development.
