Basic Principles of Induction Logging

Emeritus Professor A.Kaufman has 28 years’ experience of teaching at the geophysical department in Colorado School of Mines He received his PhD. in Institute of Physics of the Earth (Moscow) and degree of Doctor of Science from the Russian Academy of Science . From 1981 to 20015 he published 14 monographs by Academic Press and Elsevier, describing different geophysical methods. Most of them are translated and published in Russia and China. He also holds three patents, which found application in the surface and borehole geophysics. A. Kaufman is a honorary member of SEG. Dr. Itskovich is a Technical Advisor with Baker Hughes who has been employed since 1994. He received his Ph.D. degree in geophysics from the Russian Academy of Science, and an M.S. in electro-physics from Novosibirsk Technical University. Gregory’s research interests and experience include advanced EM measurements, mathematical modeling and inversion of well-logging resistivity and NMR data. He has published 40 professional papers and holds more than 50 U.S. patents, and is the inventor of several geophysical instruments that have been commercialized on a worldwide basis.
