Introduction 1

Well Overview
Well is Geologs MDI (Multiple Document Interface) application designed to graphically display, edit and analyze log data in a single well. Several wells can be loaded into memory, processed and then the changes saved or discarded, as required. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that only a few wells be opened consecutively, based on available memory. If large numbers of wells are to be processed simultaneously, use Geologs Project application (wells are not stored in memory, and data is immediately processed and saved to the database). Layouts, which graphically display your data, are created interactively using a standard set of industry tracks, and an easy point and click mouse operation. Well provides standard layouts which can be used as they are, or copied and customized. Layouts are well independent so, once created, they can be used repeatedly for new wells and projects. Text, a tool which displays your data in spreadsheet format, is used to view all or part of the data in a single well, and edit that data, as required. Data analysis is carried out using a range of tools provided for curve correction, crossplot, etc.

LAYOUT COMPONENTS

COMPONENT Artist Picture Track Header Area Display Area Border Track Footer Area

DESCRIPTION A picture can be inserted into the header, footer or inside the border to display legends, logos or drawings. Shows specified header or title information for logs. Well log data is graphically displayed in this area. The edge of the display area. Shows specified footer information for logs.

Track Types
The following table contains a description of each of the track types available, that are used to display various types of data. Scale Scale tracks display reference logs (e.g., depth, twtime, etc.). Multiple Scale tracks may be part of your layout, but only one log can be displayed in the track. Wireline Track and Wireline Log Wireline tracks display numeric log data. In addition to Wireline logs, core, mwd, and mud log data are examples of other kinds of numeric logs. Multiple logs can be displayed in the track. Lithology Lithology tracks display lithology patterns. The pattern displayed at each depth interval is keyed to the value of the lithology log defined for the track. Lithology logs are alpha logs which contain values such as SS, ST, and LS (sandstone, siltstone, and limestone, respectively). Seismic Seismic tracks display synthetic seismic logs. Dip A Dip track is used for displaying dip in sections and on borehole images. There are 3 types of bars used for the graphic representation: Sine(wave), Tadpole and Herringbone. Sine Sinewave displays can be used to manually pick/edit dips on a wellbore image by overlaying the Dip track on an Image track.

Geolog 6.6 - Well Tutorial

Step 1: The Well Interface 10

Dip continued... Tadpole A Tadpole track displays a plot of dipmeter data representing Dip and Azimuth logs as tadpoles. Dip magnitude is represented as a circle on a logarithmic scale from 0 to 90 degrees. A tail on the circle is used to indicate the down-dip direction (azimuth). Herringbone Herringbone displays show the projection of dip data onto a line of section as straight, short lines. Point Point tracks display graphic symbols. Unlike lithology, point tracks do not repeat the graphic patternit is plotted only once. Point tracks are used to display paleo symbols, stratigraphic symbols, etc., and wellbore symbols like plugs, packers, and casing shoes. Table Table tracks display alpha logs containing descriptive text from either point or interval-sampled sets. A single alpha log is defined for each table track. Interval Interval tracks display alpha logs stored in interval sets. Interval tracks are used to identify cored or perforated intervals. They are also used to identify geologic areas by rotating the text vertically in narrow tracks. Image Image tracks display array data image logs, representing vertical and horizontal variation in formation properties, according to a gray scale, rainbow or user defined color map. Array Array tracks display multichannel logs. The trace height displayed is the trace of the array log at one frame (i.e., the vertical size on the plot of the horizontal channels). CGM CGM tracks are picture tracks for posting images. The image must be a CGM file (Geologs standard format). Graphic files in other formats can be used after conversion to CGM format using Geologs Artist application. To place the tracks in a layout select Insert > track type or click on the icon.

Geolog 6.6 - Well Tutorial

Step 1: The Well Interface 11

Step 2: Create a Layout


Procedure
This step explains how to create a layout. Layouts define the graphical presentation of well log data stored in Geolog. Layouts are well independent, so they can be used for any well. New layouts can be created interactively, or by customizing an existing layout. In this step, you will: Create a new layout and insert several track types. Specify a default set and default well. Format the datum for the display. Format the tracks. Add core data to a Wireline track. Display core descriptions in a Table track. Plot a core photograph. Insert and format a Layout header. Create a plot file.

Exercise 1

Create a New Layout and Insert Tracks


There are two methods for inserting tracks on a layout: Using the icons on the toolbar (or the Insert menu). Using the Properties dialog box. In this exercise you will learn both of these methods. Layouts are ASCII files which are saved in the projects layouts directory.

Geolog 6.6 - Well Tutorial

Step 2: Create a Layout 12

1. 2.

Close example_well.layout. Select Well > View > New > Layout. The display is blank and the Title Bar identifies the current layout as layout.

Insert tracks using Icons


3. Begin building the layout by inserting all the tracks you wish to use in the layout. For this exercise, insert the following tracks by clicking on each icon in the following order: Wireline Scale Interval Lithology Point Dip Wireline Table CGM Tracks are inserted to the immediate right of the currently selected track. Selected tracks are identified with a highlighted border and red control points (see Figure 10). A track is selected by clicking on it with the left mouse button.

Exercise 2

Specify a Default Set


At installation, the default set for use in Geolog is WIRE. This can be changed by your Systems Administrator, if required. Geolog selects logs from the default set when a set is not specified, and searches the default set first when attempting to find and display logs. When working in Geolog, you can change the default set, when required, as follows: 1. Select applicationname > Default Set... - for this exercise, Well > Default Set... to display the Set select dialog box.

2.

Select a set (for this exercise, leave the default as WIRE) and click OK; the default set is displayed in the applications Title Bar.

Step 2: Create a Layout 16

Exercise 3

Specify a Default Well


You can also define a default well for your current Geolog session. 1. 2. From the Geolog launcher bar select Project > Run. For Windows type: set env(MIN_WELL) BOTEIN OR For Unix type: setenv MIN_WELL BOTEIN This sets the well, BOTEIN, as the default well when the Well application is opened during the current user session. Here, you have set the default well variable from the command line for the current user session. It is also possible to set variables at a user, project, or site level in your geolog6_env.tcl file, on a more permanent basis. For more information refer to the Environment Guide on the Online Help.

Exercise 5

Format the Tracks


In this exercise, you will format each track in turn.

Wireline Log - GR
To add 2 logs in the first (leftmost) wireline track, and then format the display for each log: 1. 2. Select the first wireline track. How do you ensure it is selected?

3. 4.

Select Insert > Wireline Log TWICE to insert two logs into the track. Within the Header, double click on the (black) first wireline log inserted to display the Properties dialog box.

Note: Clicking anywhere in the layout opens the Properties dialog box with the track/log selected being active in the dialog box.

5. 6.

Ensure the TRACK tab is selected. In the Logs section, to specify the GR log for 1.Log: enter GR in the Log field in the Wireline Log section; Geolog searches for that log, or an alias for that log, throughout the entire well according to Geologs search rules;

OR click on the Log Select icon and select the log from the displayed list of available logs; if you use this method, it is advisable to remove the version number so that the latest version of the log is always displayed (unless, of course, a specific version is required). 7. Click on the second log in the Logs sectionsee Figure 13.

Display Core Descriptions in a Table Track


Table tracks display alpha logs containing descriptive text from either point or interval sampled sets. This permits a tabular rather than graphical presentation. Text positioning is depth referenced but can be automatically adjusted to avoid overwriting, with lines drawn back to the original depth for referencing.

To format the Table track to display core descriptions


1. On the Common tab for the Table track, set the values as noted below: Space: Width: Header Line 1: 2.
0.5" (1.3cm). 3" (7.5cm).

Change to Core Description.

On the Track tab, set the following: Table Log: Appearance: Adjust Enter/select CORE_POINT.DESCRIPTION. Change Text Alignment to Left. Toggle ON. The core descriptions being plotted are referenced every foot (.3m), which would normally cause overplotting. By setting Adjust to ON, the text is repositioned (up or down) to avoid overplotting (click Apply and view the descriptions in the track, then toggle Adjust OFF and view the change). Set a Red Dot Line with a Width of 0.02 (0.04). Join lines join the log values back to the correct depth in the previous track. Space set on the Common tab should be provided between the tracks to display these join lines.

Exercise 4

Create Data
In this exercise, you will learn how to insert various types of new data and in the following exercise, you will learn how to modify existing data. The following naming conventions are imposed by Geolog: The set names "REFERENCE" and "WELL_HEADER" are reserved Set names. All names (wells, logs, comments, constants) in Geolog are restricted to 32 characters of any combination of letters, numbers and/or the underscore. Set names should be consistent within the wells in a project, and within a working group or business unit within your organization. If in place within your company, set name conventions should be used. Names usually reflect the type of data stored within the set. For example, WIRE: wireline log data; TOPS: formation names; DST: drill stem test data.

Sets
1. Click the Sets tab.

When the Sets tab is selected, the following information is displayed: INFORMATION DISPLAYED Set DESCRIPTION Name of the set.

Geolog 6.6 - Well Tutorial

Step 3: Text 55

Figure 41: Logs in REFERENCE Set

This Set contains all the downhole vertical references for the well and is used for domain translation from one vertical reference to another. It will always contain DEPTH as the primary reference but may also contain other references such as TVD, TST, TVT, TIME and TWTIME. The REFERENCE set spans the maximum depth range to encompass all downhole data, and automatically extends as additional data is loaded into the well.

Constants
Constants consist of common information for the whole well (e.g., latitude, measurement reference) and are stored in another reserved set, WELL_HEADER. Many Constants are stored automatically when data is loaded from LAS, LIS, and DLIS tapes or files. Constants properties: can be either numeric (e.g., KB height) or alpha values (e.g., Company name). No limit to the number of constants you can define. Geologs Artist application can access these Constants to create customized headers and footers in log layouts and Artist pictures. For example, the picture inserted in the layout in Figure 26 on Page 39 contains variable text which has been obtained from the Constants for the currently open well. Variable Text is covered in the Artist Tutorial. Loglan (Geologs programming language) has database access to Constants values, as do external database access routines (e.g., cgglib).
Geolog 6.6 - Well Tutorial Step 3: Text 56

Fixed Constants The information found in the wellinfo.wellinfo file determines the Constants which are always present in every well. While Constants can be added, modified or removed from the wellinfo.wellinfo file, as required, Geolog requires the following constants, which should not be modified: CONSTANT WELL DATA TYPE Alpha*32 DESCRIPTION The unique key to identify the well within the project. Each well must have a unique key no more than 32 characters in length. The wells latitude. The wells longitude. The wells east/west surface location. The wells north/south surface location. The wells east/west bottom hole location. The wells north/south bottom hole location. The surface point from which log depths are measured (usually KB). The elevation of the measurement reference. Ground (or mean sea level) elevation. Drilled depth for the well. The well symbol code. See the Appearance palette Markers for a full list of available types. Name of the project. Name of the included project.

Step 4: Graphical Tools


Procedure
In this step, you use the graphical tools available in Geolog to modify and create data. You will: Insert and modify pins in a log and adjust the log between pins. Merge 2 logs and merge a section of a log. Split a log into sections. Insert missing data in a log. Use picks to insert lithology/table data. Use picks to insert point data. Manually insert dips into an Image track. Shift log values back to a constant baseline. Recalibrate the depth values of a log using Depth Shift. Highlight an area of interest and view the results in various document views. Well provides a variety of tools to graphically manipulate and process log data. These tools are used to correct logs which have been poorly recorded, improve the display of logs by extrapolating from accurate data to less accurate data, and generate synthetic data. When logs are modified, they are given an incremented version number and comment which reflects the modification. The original data is retained. Log names and comments can be edited using Text View (discussed in Step 3: Text on Page 44). Graphical tools are accessed from the Tools menu and most tools also have an icon on the Toolbar. Regardless of the operation, graphical log editing follows the same simple procedure: Select the log(s). Select the graphical edit tool. Follow the prompts on Status bar.
Geolog 6.6 - Well Tutorial Step 4: Graphical Tools 74

The following table lists the available tools and provides a description of their function. TOOL Pin Merge Split Curve Insert Curve Insert Missing Wrap Up Wrap Down Picks Dip Edit Baseline Shift Depth Shift Highlight Area Highlight Cancel Mount Digitizer Unmount Digitizer DESCRIPTION Insert control points (handles) for log manipulation. Pins anchor logs to depth points, and are used with most graphics tools. Splice logs or sections of logs together. Divide a log into 2 logs. Insert new log values. Modify the left/right limits of a wireline track so additional log values that extend beyond the current track limits can be displayed /inserted. Create Interval (Formation tops), Table (alpha logs), Point (marker logs) or Lithology (lithology patterns). Graphically insert dips. Adjust log values to a constant baseline. Shift logs vertically to place them on depth with a reference log. Highlight an area of interest. Mount a digitizer to record paper data.

Exercise 1

22. Select the duplicated log and delete it. Log Versioning Whenever an original log (log_1) is changed, an edited version of the log is immediately created and the version number increases incrementally (i.e., an edited version of log_1 appears as log_2). The original log is never overwritten. It should be a regular housekeeping practice to keep the number of versions you have in your well database under control. Remember to make use of your log comments to keep track of which version is which.

Step 4: Graphical Tools 80

Exercise 2

Merge
Logs from multiple runs down a well can be combined to form a single log using Merge. Merging is useful where logging runs overlap or where incomplete data is available. Logs can also be merged by splicing a section of one log into another. Pins are used to define which technique is used.
Note: The order of selecting logs defines the set and log name of the new merged logs.

To merge - single pin 1. Reopen the MIRA well, discarding any changes. 2. 3. 4. Select Well> View > Close All and discard any changes. Reopen the 4_merge.layout. Insert a single pin at approximately 3069ft (935.5m), just above the data you wish to remove in NSPECT_1.GR_1 log. Use the Position Information in the bottom right corner of the window to precisely select an exact depth. 5. 6. Select the first log to be merged (NSPECT_1.GR_1). Press and hold down the SHIFT key and select the next log to be merged (GTS_3.CGR_1).

7. 8.

Insert a third wireline log into the track. From the Properties dialog box display the original log and change Wrap on the TRACK tab to 1x to create an identical display of the log.

Curve Insert Missing


Curve Insert Missing and Curve Insert are used to graphically alter a log by replacing selected sections with missing values. These tools are also used to insert missing values while creating a new log or section of log. Curve Insert Missing is primarily used when digitizing. See Geologs online help for detailed information on these tools.

Wrap
Wrap is a quick method of modifying the left and right limits of a wireline track so that additional log values that extend beyond the current track limits can be displayed or inserted. More precise limits can be set on the TRACK tab in the Properties dialog box. To use Wrap, select the log and then select Tools > Wrap Up or Tools > Wrap Down.

SP logs frequently exhibit a gradual drift from the shale baseline with depth. To remove this drift and establish a consistent shale baseline (0 mv is usually the shale baseline) the Baseline tool is used. Any log can be baseline shifted (the baseline value is defined on the TRACK tab of the Properties dialog box) and log values shifted back to the constant baseline. To baseline shift The SIRIUS well has an SP log that requires baseline shifting. 1. 2. Close the 4_dip_edit layout. Open the 4_sp_baseline layout. This layout displays the log with a red baseline defined. 3. 4. 5. 6. Select the SP_2 log. Select Zoom > Overview and determine where the log should be shifted. Zoom back in on the top of the log. Select Tools > Baseline Shift. The mouse changes to a pencil with a pin attached. Insert a pin (top pin), at the first point where the log crosses the baseline and then insert a second pin (base pin) at the second point to define the interval of the log to shift (see Figure 72).

Exercise 9

Depth Shift
Depth shift is used to recalibrate the depth values of a log. One or more logs can be recalibrated (shifted). The process involves creating a shift set by graphically matching the curve signatures from a shift (incorrect) log with the corresponding curve from a reference (correct) log. Once the shift set is created, it can be applied to any log. To perform depth shifting, a layout is required where: the log to be shifted is displayed on one track, and the reference (correct) log is displayed on another track, and a space exists between the two tracks. Depth Shift - create a shift set In the following example, the NSPECT_1.GR_1 log is used as the reference and the GTS_1.SGR_1 log is shifted against it. 1. 2. 3. Reopen the MIRA well, discarding any changes to the SIRIUS data. Close 4_sp_baseline layout. Open 4_depthmatch layout. The 4_depthmatch layout displays the logs for this well in the correct format for depth matching (see Figure 74).

Space Between Tracks Figure 74: Typical Layout Required For Depth Shifting

Shifts are created graphically by matching and saving pairs of points on the log to be adjusted and the reference log. These values are saved to a shift set which can then be re-applied to other logs that require shifting. 4. 5. 6. Select the log to be shifted, GTS_1.SGR_1. Hold the SHIFT key while selecting the reference logNSPECT_1.GR_1. Select Tools > Depth Shift > Create Manual to display the Depth-shift set dialog box (see Figure 75).

Do depth shifts in multiple passes. On the first pass, pin points that require no depth shifting, on the second, distinctive points, on the third and subsequent passes, pin other depth correlations. 9. In the Reference Log track, make corrections to the log to be shifted using the following procedure: Insert pins at points where shifts are required with the left mouse button. Drag the pin and log to be adjusted up or down against the reference with the middle mouse button. Shift and reference depth values are displayed in the Depth shift dialog box as shifts are located. The shift log can be moved left/right as well as up/down to make the correlation. Pins and horizontal red lines indicate the depth-offsets. Pins can be inserted or deleted in any depth order.

The following are brief explanation of some of the components of the Module Launcher. Your instructor will provide more detailed information, where required.
Selection Section

Input Set

The set displayed is either the set specified for the module, or, if not specified, the default set specified for the application (see "Specify a Default Set" on Page 16). Logs to be processed by the module come from this set, unless otherwise specified. To change, click on the Set Select icon to select from the Set Select dialog box, or enter a set name in the field. Note: In previous versions of Geolog, when the Input Set was changed, all Parameters were reset to the defaults for the module. This no longer occurs. To reset the Parameter defaults, select Launcher > Reopen. To change the Input Set for all subsequent module processing, select Application_name > Default Set... (e.g., Well > Default Set...).

Output Set

The set displayed is either the set specified for the module, or, if not specified, the default set specified for the application (see "Specify a Default Set" on Page 16). Logs to be processed by the module are written to this set, unless otherwise specified. If the set specified does not exist, it is created. To change, click on the Set Select icon to select from the Set Select dialog box, or enter a set name in the field. To change for all subsequent module processing, select Application_name > Default Set... (e.g., Well > Default Set...).

Sampling Log

Enter a log name or click on the Log Select icon to open the Log Select dialog box and select a log from the Input Set which determines the sample rate of data output when the module is processed. If this field is left blank, the output sample rate is determined by the Input Sets reference (e.g., depth) or, if no input set is specified, by the first input log. Note: It is important in modules such as tp_fill that the sampling control log covers the entire range of the input log being processed.

Show Insens By default the "Show Insens" option is toggled OFF, which means the Insensitive Value cells are not displayed.

Geolog 6.6 - Well Tutorial

Step 5: Utilities 120

Selection Section

Set Processing Limits

Select to define the top and bottom limits. When the Set Processing Limits button is selected, the Datum dialog box (see "Format the Datum" on Page 18) is displayed. This dialog box is used to set processing limits, interval processing, etc. Where DATA_TOP / DATA_BOTTOM is used, the range of data processed represents the intersection of the range of all input logs and that of the sampling control log.

Parameters (Table) Section

Like spreadsheets, Geolog's Table format is organized into rows and columns. Data displayed with a colored background is view only, while that with a white background can be edited. The background color of the view only data is used to distinguish the type of data. In the case of the Value column, dark gray is used to indicate that a parameter is not applicable (uneditable) and light gray indicates the parameter is editable. Location Where the data can be found, if it exists: PARAMETER - default values. CONSTANT - values are stored/read from well header constants. INTERVAL - values are stored/read from an interval set. LOG - values are stored/read from a log set. Mode Comment Unit Name Value columns Identifies the data as Input, Output or In_Out. Description of the parameter. The units in which the variable is stored or written (based on the environment variable MIN_UNIT_SYSTEM). The name that the module searches for in the database. If intervals are selected, the name of the interval is displayed in the column title; otherwise, the column title is "Value". Constant value or variable name to be used by the module; user definable.
