Davud Mamed-Tagi oglu Sadigov (Azerbaijani: Davud Məmməd-Tagi oglu Sadixov; Russian: Давуд Мамедович Садыхов; Decemeber 11, 1936, Baku – November 11, 2008, Baku) was a prominent Soviet and Azerbaijani geophysicist known for his contributions to the borehole geophysics.

Early life and career

Davud Sadigov was born in Baku, Azerbaijan, to Mamed-Tagi Sadigov (1919–1982) and Sona Sadigova (XXXX–XXXX). His father was the director of Baku Oil College. In 1968 he married Fatmakhanim Ibrahimova. After graduation in 1960 from Azerbaijan Oil &amp; Gas Institute, he started his successful career in oil and gas exploration projects in Western Siberia where he took part in several gas field discoveries among which was the large Pungin Field.

In 1964 he returned to Baku and joined the Southern branch of All-Union Institute of Geophysical Prospecting Methods ( ЮжВНИИГеофизика ). Over the years, he progressed from supervisor position of well logging department to Chief Geophysicist and Deputy Director for Geology &amp; Geophysics department of State Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic.

He, for the first time in Azerbaijan, applied the method of two drilling fluids with different resistivity to study fractured-cavernous reservoirs. His academic works were focused on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) logging technology, reservoir quality, and hydrocarbon reservoir assessment. Thanks to his studies, NMR technology and logging have been successfully incorporated in oil &amp; gas fields in Azerbaijan, Russia (Western Siberia &amp; Pechora-Ukhta Basin), Uzbekistan ( Buhara-Khiva Basin ), and Kazakhstan ( Mangishlag peninsula ). His theoretical and experimental developments have been described in 76 papers and 15 inventor’s certificates.
