--- (Electric data)
It is much easier to correlate wells because the data that are collected by
drillers logs,
sample logs,
electrical logs
enable the geologists to predict more precisely where similar rock
formations will occur in each case
Subsurface correlation
It is based primarily on
stratigraphic continuity, or
strata, or
petroleum to accumulate.
