Basic logging-while-drilling (LWD) measurements have remained the same since their introduction in the late 1980s. But capabilities have expanded from ultrasonic and density calipers to an increased selection of tool sizes. The evolution of hardware, data processing and interpretation that has furthered understanding of the best applications for LWD measurements are reviewed. 27 figs., 1 ill., 20 refs.
