Citing PPPEDIA

Updated 08-Mar-2008 .

Petrophysicists have and get Frequently Asked Questions, and we have undertaken to address some of them, in a community-built reference which we called PPPEDIA, for PetroPhysics encycloPEDIA. Learn more about PPPEDIA.

In late 2006, we moved our articles to Wikipedia, and PPPEDIA has now morphed into a WikiProject on Formation Evaluation. Click here to go to this project on Wikipedia.

We encourage you to contribute to WikiProject on Formation Evaluation, and welcome your questions and suggestions. Here are some ideas of Formation Evlauation FAQ that you might want to address.

Our name and logo are partly in typing-finger-in-cheek reference to WIKIPEDIA, the Free encyclopedia, which, at the time we started here, had no entry for Petrophysics (but, to be fair, has one on Formation Evaluation).
