ols to measure a core sample's electrical anisotropy have been sadly lacking, says John Kickhofel. To solve this problem, he and colleagues at Schlumberger found inspiration in a type of logging technology currently used by the modern oil industry. They created a device capable of noninvasively measuring electrical conductivity.
