Data Requirements

Search

The following data and resources will need to be provided by the client (all that are available):

  • measured depth digital log data (LAS or DLIS files) for each well
    • at the minimum, we require a shale indicating log, a porosity indicating log and a resistivity log
    • neutron, density and PE logs will allow for a much more robust lithology and porosity model to be run (typical PEX data set)
    • if possible, density correction and caliper logs should also be included to assist in quality control of the log data
    • wells with sonic data are valuable, as the sonic log is less sensitive to borehole condition and can be used to quantify micro (isolated) porosity
    • spectral gamma ray data improves results for organic rich intervals, where uranium is present, causing the gamma ray log to be “hot”
    • nuclear magnetic resonance logs allow for porosity to be interpreted, independent of the standard porosity indicating logs (neutron, density and sonic)
    • nuclear spectroscopy logs allow an element to mineral analysis to be run
    • Image logs are used to identify fractures and bedding structures
    • wells logged with water based mud, without barite, generally have better quality logs
  • the Geologist’s assigned tops in measured depth, for each well, in spreadsheet format
    • used on depth plots for zone identification purposes
  • special core analysis reports with the associated data in spreadsheet format
    • XRD, XRF
    • capillary pressure
    • electrical properties
    • bulk clay volume
    • TOC
    • shale rock properties (SRP)
  • strip log data in LAS or CSV format
    • LWD gamma, gas curves and ROP
    • comments on lithology and gas are also valuable and are needed in CSV format
  • cuttings data in spreadsheet format
    • XRD, porosity, petrographic descriptions, etc.
  • routine core data analysis in spreadsheet format
    • grain density, porosity, permeability, saturations, lithologic descriptions
  • well header data in spreadsheet format
    • KB, GL, TD, surface and downhole latitude and longitude
  • directional surveys for deviated wells in spreadsheet format
    • MD, INCL, AZIM format is required
  • completion and production data for each well in spreadsheet format
    • perforation intervals
    • DST intervals, recoveries, rates, pressures, gas composition and water recovery
  • other applicable reports, etc., that will help us with our work
  • access to the Technologist during the project
  • access to the Geologist/Geophysicist/Engineer during the project

Client Comments

“We are going to run with your model Dorian. I think your average perms over the intervals are in line with publications for the area. Great work on this set!”

B.L., Principal Geologist

“It’s nice to see your work around the office – always a solid place to start from.”

G.G., President & Principal Geoscientist

“Great work on the last round of data. I threw a few new technical tasks your way and you did a great job integrating them.”

B.L., Principal Geologist

“The merged compressional sonic log that you created now ties the seismic from surface to TD. Great job.”

N. K., Senior Geophysicist

“Thanks Dorian, this is why we keep coming back to you. Hassle free, no BS service, very refreshing.”

Z.J., Senior Geologist

“Many thanks Dorian, excellent work.”

J.C., Lead Geoscientist

“Thanks again Dorian.  And BTW, your analysis helped us enormously with our reserves evaluations. Your company does hold authority.”

P.T., Vice President Exploration

“Thanks Dorian, I knew you would come through. This is one of the reasons we keep coming back to you…you always deliver.”

Z.J., Vice President Exploration

“Hi Dorian, I was just going through the mapping and it looks great so far! Very happy with what I’m seeing.”

J.G., Senior Geologist

“Thanks Dorian for the quick turnaround. Your proposal for petrophysical services looks very good (impressive) and I will be approving.”

A.B., Vice President Geosciences

“Your petrophysical model matches core very closely.”

B.E., Senior Engineer

“Hi Dorian, Thanks for solving those problems. You have a black belt in petrophysics.”

S.R., Senior Geophysicist

“Excellent work! Thank you for the speed!!!”

R. R., Senior Engineer

“Thank you for your petrophysical evaluation. We appreciate that it is ahead of schedule.”

J.M., Vice President Exploration & Production

“Your work is consistently good and your results are very credible.”

R.C., Senior Engineer

“You come highly recommended. We would like you to complete a project for us.”

T.G., Geologist

“We took your advice and had some cuttings analyzed in a few wells. The results support your interpretation. Thanks for pointing us in the right direction.”

D.M., Senior Geophysicist

“We have found your petrophysical evaluations extremely useful and have had good success integrating the work into Petrel.”

A.B., Vice President Geosciences
