MAKE CPH
"Mobile Ready" With a Home Screen App
Crain’s Petrophysical Handbook is now "Mobile
Friendly". The website has been
updated to improve viewing and navigation on mobile
devices (smart phones, tablets) as well as desktop
computers and laptops with a narrower viewing area.
The website adapts its layout to the viewing area by
changing the left and right navigation panes into pull down
menus, altering page scrolling behavior, as well as scaling
images down when appropriate.
To make it easier to take advantage of these advancements,
you may want to create “Crain’s Petrophysical Handbook App” on your device so you
can access the handbook with the touch of a finger!
Select the instructions below that are most appropriate
for your device:
