Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to a method for determining a volume fraction of water and water salinity in organic shales and other geological formations. The method includes a knowledge of complex formation permittivity at several frequencies and minimizes or excludes dependency on external parameters, such as the permittivity of the formation mineral phase.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for optimizing well-logging using an optimized wait time determined by analysis nuclear magnetic resonance data to achieve faster and better quality borehole evaluation. The method comprises performing a nuclear magnetic resonance pre-log testing; identifying a wait time for a portion of a signal from the pre-log testing with a long T1 and T2, value at each depth of the pre-log testing, wherein T1 is defined as a longitudinal relaxation time and T2 is a transverse relaxation time ascertained from the nuclear magnetic resonance prelog testing; and constructing a logging program with a logging program wait time being consistent with the wait time identified.

Abstract: A method for determining a formation type within a wellbore includes forming the wellbore such that the wellbore intersects fractures within a formation. Hydrocarbons are produced from the formation. An induction tool is disposed into the wellbore after producing the hydrocarbons. A resistivity of a portion of the formation is measured with the induction tool. The resistivity of the portion of the formation is compared with a known formation type. The formation type of the portion of the formation is determined based on the resistivity. A characteristic of the formation type is output.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fragment of nucleic acid characterized in that it comprises a nucleotide sequence selected from: (A) the sequence SEQ ID No. 1; (B) the sequences of one or more bases; (C) fragments of the said sequences (A) and (B); (D) sequences complementary to the said sequences (A), (B), and (C); and (E) the sequences which hybridize with the sequences (A),(B), and (C). The corresponding peptide sequences are also disclosed. A nucleic acid fragment of the invention may be used as a primer or probe, particularly in a method for diagnosing a genetic anomaly linked to the Kallmann syndrome.
