Henry Salisch worked as a Geologist for Anglo- Ecuadorian Oilfields and in log interpretation with Schlumberger for over 20 years. He headed the petrophysical group (well log) of Intevep (research affiliate of Petroleos de Venezuela), as Senior Research Associate, for close to 10 years. Is now in charge of teaching and supervising projects in formation evaluation at the School of Petroleum Engineering, University of New South Wales. He has published in excess of 20 papers related mainly to the integration of log, core and text data in formation evaluation.
