Abstract

Applications of well logging techniques to evaluate the groundwateraquifers in the area between southwest Bani Sweif and west Asyoute governorate, upper Egypt Safi Eldein.M. Metwally 1, Shimaa. M.

Apart from pumping data, 16 geophysical well logs (resistivity, gamma ray, self-potential, and nuclear logs) are utilized to achieve the main goal of estimating petrophysical parameters (porosity (∅), effective porosity (∅!""),  hydraulic  conductivity  (k),  permeability  (K)  and  shale  volume  (
