NEW OR UPDATED WEBPAGES
Crain's Petrophysical Handbook is under constant development. The major updates are listed here. Many small fixes are not listed as they are too trivial to mention.

If you see errors or omissions, email me and I'll fix it.

Technical contributions and guest articles are accepted but will be formatted to match the current page style. Some editing may be applied for clarity or brevity.
