Introducing the Techlog Interactive Suite 2008.

Application modules (in purple) are available to suit your

specific needs and objectives. You can add application
modules one at a time or you can add an entire focus area
(see page 11) depending on your requirements.
©
The Techlog platform (in orange) is the foundation for
everything that you want to do with any of the modules. It
comprises a package of tools for loading, manipulating and
viewing the enormous range of data handled by Techlog.

Focus areas.
Core.
Petrophysics depends on access to many types
of data, particularly log and core together.
A wide choice of tools are available for bringing
the core data into the interpretation including
plotting, editing, upscaling, classifying and
fitting function definition. All of these can be
found in the application modules Techcore
(Tco), Saturation-height modelling (SHM), and
CoreDB (CDB).
Core data storage and manipulation are vital
tasks. Once they are properly managed, the
effective integration of core data with other
sources requires reconciliation for reasons
of differences in measurement scale and
measurement environments. Integration and
reconciliation are facilitated by visualisation,
quantification and upscaling.

Log.
Log data are the fundamental data resources
available to petrophysicists. Now, the term
includes a wide variety of data types and modes
of acquisition: Wireline, LWD, continuous
recording, irregularly sampled, single value at a
sample, multiple values at a sample (array data),
image data, real-time data streaming.
Day after day petrophysicists and log specialists
are loading, manipulating and analysing large
quantities of log data. Experts go further with
specialised interpretations addressing advanced
petrophysical questions.
Find these activities in the following modules:
Quanti (Q), Quanti.min (Q.m), NMR, Thin bed
analysis (TBA) and Saturation-height
modelling (SHM)

Focus areas.
Fluids.
Reservoir layering, continuity and
compartmentalisation are key elements of
detailed reservoir characterisation. Their
effective analysis is enhanced by bringing
many different strands of data to bear on
©
the problem. You can do this within Techlog
where the FPress (FP°) and Fluid Contact
(Fc) modules evaluate multiple contacts
within compartmentalised reservoirs to derive
minimum, maximum and most likely depths for
fluid contacts in complex reservoirs.
The resultant contact surfaces and fluid typing,
by compartment, can be visualised in 3D and
instantly updated, should analyses change.

Geology.
In addition to the well-by-well view, you can
post data onto maps, see the well spatial
relationships in 2D/3D and assess correlations
and trends qualitatively and quantitatively
through the subsurface. Primary tools in the
geological workflows include log data for
correlation and geological characterisation, core
data for facies descriptions and image data for
structural and fracture analysis.
Core and log data are used very effectively
together within Ipsom (Ips) for example
to characterise facies; borehole image
interpretation in all its forms is the main activity
covered by the Wellbore imaging (Wbi) module.

Focus areas.
Earth Model.
Show petrophysical and geological data
and results as a 3D view of the sub-surface
within the same environment where detailed
interpretation of those data are performed.
Access the 3D graphical library of 3D Vue (3DV)
to build a visualisation of an “Earth Model”
which you can then use to explore the interwell
space. The 3D graphics toolkit is also used
within Wellbore imaging (Wbi) to represent
image data and dip planes.
Now petrophysicists work within the context of the

Geophysics.
The need to tie seismic survey data into well
information is paramount in successful seismic
analysis. Well data are often considered the
“ground-truth” for seismic data.
Preparation of the log data is best done within
the log domain using the neural network in

Geophy (GeΦ) a comprehensive, single-offset,
synthetic seismogram package that includes
time-depth functioning from checkshot and/or
sonic log data, fluid substitution and synthetics
filtering.
Then compare these and other petrophysical
results directly against seismic data (loaded
from SEG-Y).

multiple well data processing becomes

Data inventory and query
Datasets hold data at a single
reference, which can be regular,
irregular, depth (MD, TVD, TVDSS, etc.)
or time-based, or just a simple index
count (e.g. sample ID for core data).
Images and complex array data curves
are stored within the same robust
data model.

Data Editing Data Processing

Inspection and review of the values
or content of simple curves, arrays,
zonations and well properties are
facilitated by dedicated spreadsheet-
type editors. These can often be
TM
linked or copied directly into Excel
for reporting or sharing data
with colleagues.
Combine, re-size datasets within
wells or merge data from several
wells into a composite well as the
process may require.
When simple editing is not sufficient,
turn on the power of the many graphical
and calculation-based tools for more
complex data processing.
Data can be re-sampled, shifted,
despiked, clipped or upscaled.
Perform mathematical operations such
as find derivatives, integrate, filter, spline
or linearly interpolate or standardise.
Frequency domain filtering is a powerful
option in this category of tool.
Multiple wells may require inter-well
normalisation, for instance before
computing formation properties. Ensure
full and close user control of this
operation with a graphical interface to
view progress and results at all times.
