ABSTRACT
Nowadays, energy produced from hydrocarbons such as oil and gas is of vital importance to our lives, since it is used for cars, airplanes, heating, and so on. In order to extract those hydrocarbons from the earth, it is essential to determine the subsurface material properties. Specifically, it is crucial to determine the porosity (that is, the amount of fluids), the oil and gas saturation (that is, the amount of hydrocarbons within the fluid), and the permeability, which reflects the difficulty of extracting hydrocarbons from the formation.
