ABSTRACT
New techniques are described to evaluate complex dual porosity aquifers
using geophysical logs. Alternatives are presented to characterize highly
heterogeneous rocks and identify the presence of primary and secondary
porosity. Also, this methodology allows the evaluation qualitative indexes
of permeability and petrophysical variables. Applications of these interpretive
methodologies are presented for the karstic aquifer of the Northern Basin
of Matanzas, Cuba.
