"The majority of this book is on dielectric theory and Maxwell's equations used in dielectric permittivity theory, so it can be used by anyone interested in dielectric theory and permittivity in general. It also illustrates how to apply this theory under the conditions found in oil and gas borehole." --IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine

Principles of Dielectric Logging Theory covers the theory of dielectric logging - from first principles to development of new tools - for those involved in the design, development and interpretation of dielectric logging. Dielectric logging has recently experienced a revival in the oil and gas industry and is now considered a preferred method for estimating the saturation of reservoirs. Topics covered in this book include the use of dielectric tools in different types of fields, interpretation methods, the Maxwell phenomena, and how to develop new dielectric tools for future use. Users will find this book includes enough detail that newcomers, seasoned professionals and researchers find it useful.
