Society of Petrophysicists and Well Log Analysts

The Society of Petrophysicists and Well Log Analysts is a non-profit collective of scientists involved in petrophysics and the extraction of gas, oil, and minerals through earth sciences. Created in 1959, the SPWLA provides information services to scientists in the petroleum and mineral industries and strives to increase the overall quality of petrophysical education, while strengthening the bonds of knowledge between the scientists in this field.
