The sonic log measures the travel time of elastic waves through rock formations and can be used to derive porosity. It uses a transmitter and receiver to measure pulse travel times. Faster travel times indicate higher porosity as pores allow faster fluid-filled wave propagation than solid rock. The sonic log provides information to support seismic calibration and tie well measurements to seismic data. It can also be used to calculate porosity values when combined with density and neutron logs.
This document provides information about formation density logging. It defines formation density logging as a tool that provides a continuous record of a formation's bulk density along the length of a borehole. It is used to calculate porosity along with sonic and neutron logging. The tool works by emitting gamma rays into the formation and measuring the attenuation to determine density. Density logs are useful for determining porosity, identifying lithologies when combined with neutron logs, and detecting gas zones.
The document provides an overview of density logging, which measures rock bulk density along a wellbore. It defines density logging, describes the tool and principles behind it, and discusses how density logs can be used to evaluate porosity, lithology, shale compaction, and other geological features. Key applications include porosity calculation, lithology identification when combined with neutron logs, detecting unconformities from changes in shale compaction trends, and identifying lithologies like coal or pyrite from their characteristically low or high densities.
The neutron log measures formation porosity by bombarding it with neutrons. These neutrons interact with hydrogen atoms in the formation and produce gamma rays. The tool counts the gamma rays to determine porosity, with more hydrogen indicating more pore space and fluid. However, the neutron log can incorrectly indicate high porosity in shales due to bound water in clays. The NMR log is used to distinguish between bound and movable fluid to correct this shale effect. The neutron log is useful for determining porosity, delineating porous formations, detecting gas, and estimating shale content.
Formation evaluation and well logging are processes used to determine the properties of subsurface reservoirs and identify commercially viable oil and gas fields. Key logging tools developed over time include resistivity logs in the 1920s, dipmeters in the 1940s, gamma ray and neutron logs in the 1940s, sonic logs in the 1950s, density logs in the 1960s, and logging while drilling was introduced, allowing real-time data acquisition.

The document discusses caliper well logs, which measure the diameter and shape of boreholes. It describes how caliper tools work, including mechanical calipers with extendable arms that measure variations in borehole diameter. Common types are 2-arm, 4-arm, and ultrasonic calipers. Caliper logs present continuous borehole diameter measurements and are used to make environmental corrections to other well logs and assess lithology, permeability, and porosity.
Well logging involves lowering instrumentation into oil and gas wells to collect data about the surrounding rock formations. A well log records measurements from these instruments and provides information to geologists, geophysicists, drilling engineers, and reservoir engineers. Common logs measure properties like electron density, acoustic travel times, resistivity, and neutron absorption to characterize formations and identify potential reservoirs. Well logs are presented as tracks on a plot against depth to interpret features like formation tops, pore fluid content, and stress orientations deduced from borehole breakouts.
Gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves emitted spontaneously by radioactive elements like potassium, uranium, and thorium found in rocks. A gamma ray log measures this natural radioactivity to indicate the presence of shale and clay in formations. The log uses a scintillation counter detector in the tool to measure gamma radiation from the formation. Radioactive elements tend to concentrate in shale and clay. Therefore, higher gamma ray readings indicate more shale, while clean formations like sandstone have lower readings. The log can be used to correlate between wells and evaluate shale content.
The document provides an overview of spontaneous potential (SP) logging. It discusses that SP logging measures natural electrical potentials between the borehole and surface. Positive deflections indicate fresher formation water than mud filtrate, while negative deflections mean saltier formation water. SP can be used to determine formation water resistivity and estimate shale volume. Key applications include detecting permeable zones, correlating formations, and determining facies.

Drilling systems automation is the real-time reliance on digital technology in creating a wellbore. It encompasses downhole tools and systems, surface drilling equipment, remote monitoring and the use of models and simulations while drilling. While its scope is large, its potential benefits are impressive, among them: fewer workers exposed to rig-floor hazards, the ability to realize repeatable performance drilling, and lower drilling risk. While drilling systems automation includes new drilling technology, it is most importantly a collaborative infrastructure for performance drilling. In 2008, a small group of engineers and scientists attending an SPE conference noted that automation was becoming a key topic in drilling and they formed a technical section to investigate it further. By 2015, the group reached a membership of sixteen hundred as the technology rapidly gaining acceptance. Why so much interest? The benefits and promises of an automated approach to drilling address the safety and fundamental economics of drilling. What will it take? Among the answers are an open collaborative digital environment at the wellsite, an openness of mind to digital technologies, and modified or new business practices. What are the barriers? The primary barrier is a lack of understanding and a fear of automation. When will it happen? It is happening now. Digital technologies are transforming the infrastructure of the drilling industry. Drilling systems automation uses this infrastructure to deliver safety and performance, and address cost.

InSite Rig Information System:
Flexible Functionality
6. Surface Data Logging from Sperry Drilling Services provides an
effective means of capturing and monitoring critical drilling data, so
you can use information proactively to keep things moving, even in
the most challenging wells. Providing the first line of defense SDL
specialists monitor the drilling conditions to identify and
communicate any hazardous or unusual conditions and ensure
the surface equipment is operating correctly.
Surface Data Logging also provides the platform for a range of
specialist services that utilize many of these measurements,
including LaserStrat Chemostratigraphy, ADT® Drilling
Optimization, StrataSteer® 3D geosteering services and Performance
Drilling solutions. The information provided by SDL enhances the
ability to improve drilling practices, accelerate the learning curve
and significantly reduce downtime
ADT® drilling optimization service - powerful tools for complex
wells. Many of the software and hardware tools used by Sperry
Drilling Services’ to perform detailed pre-, while and post-drilling
analysis and optimization can be provided through SDL. These
advanced systems when operated by SDL specialists enable a more
powerful monitoring and first alert capability as well complexity and
challenge increase.
Details of the ADT drilling optimization service that addresses
Drillstring Integrity, Hydraulics Management and Wellbore
Integrity can be provided by your Sperry Drilling Services sales
representative.
Reducing response time to unexpected events, Sperry’s Surface
Data Logging services can provide the ADT® drilling Optimisation
Early Warning System and Connection Flow Monitoring. These
services give the means to recognize patterns and respond rapidly to
any unforeseen change in the drilling fluid circulating system.
This is coupled with SDL monitoring of safety-critical data such as
mud total gas content, H2S and evidence of wellbore fluid influx, as
well as drilling mud loss indicators such as pit volume, mud weight,
mud temperature and mud flow in and out are all monitored
continuously for any sign of trouble.
An unexpected fluid influx or kick does pose serious safety concerns
– not to mention increased costs. Mud losses to the formation can
slow the drilling progress and damage the reservoir. Hole washout or
ballooning can compromise wellbore quality.
Detecting fluid influx and mud losses while circulating, the Early
Warning System immediately alerts operators to flow changes, and
identifies washouts or restrictions in the system, as well as hole
“breathing” or ballooning, so you can take action to avert trouble.
Understand Drilling Dynamics. An important tool in the ADT
service drillstring integrity tool kit is the DrilSaver™ III vibration
monitoring system. This system can be supplied through SDL to
provide a warning when high levels of torsional vibration are
present. DrilSaver™ III software measures the magnitude of torsional
vibration in the drillstring. This is achieved through the high
The Preferred Provider for ‘Extreme’ Drilling
Sperry Drilling Services is the preferred deepwater drilling
provider in the Gulf of Mexico, where we serve more than half
the rigs drilling in ultra-deepwater of 5000 feet or more.

frequency sampling and frequency analysis of drilling torque,
RPM hookload and standpipe pressure. The result of the
analysis known as KT, the torsional vibration magnitude, is
continuously monitored and displayed in a simple gauge format.
This allows the driller to vary drilling parameters to correct
harmful vibration levels. In addition to real-time feedback,
DrilSaver stores the KT signal in the InSite database for
correlation against depth, time, lithology or other parameters.
The program also generates a high-frequency burst data that
can be saved to disk for post-event analysis with DrilSaver
Playback software.
Another application from the ADT service drillstring integrity
tool kit is the Real-time WHIRL™ software. It calculates critical
rotary speeds that induce harmonic vibration in the drillstring.
The WHIRL™ software can be supplied through SDL to help the
driller ensure the drilling parameters are set to avoid damaging
resonant vibration.
Know Your Formation Pressure. Surface Data Logging
provides pore pressure, overburden and fracture pressure
analysis using industry standard methods. From the planning
phase through drilling operations to post-well analysis, accurate
prediction of estimated formation pressure is essential to safe
drilling. In wells around the world, formation pressure problems
result in NPT that vastly increases expenditures, costing
operators millions of dollars annually.
Advanced real-time pore pressure prediction services are
supplied through the ADT Wellbore Integrity service.
Particularly critical for high pressure and high temperature wells,
Connection Flow Monitor “fingerprints” circulating system
response during connections and flow checks to closely monitor for
any influx. It provides rapid response to the influx before it would
normally be detected, and enables the influx to be managed before
it can cause safety problems or NPT.

Surface Data Logging services deliver a better level of
reservoir understanding, using rapid gas analysis and
formation sampling and evaluation to provide accurate
descriptions of critical geological markers, the presence and
type of hydrocarbons, plus Digital Cuttings Imaging that
brings the details into focus.
The Fast-Gas system provides hydrocarbon analysis using
our own enhanced version of the latest gas chromatograph
technology, so you get C1 through C5 analysis in less than
one minute. Multi-point calibration improves accuracy,
while multiple overlapping chromatogram display provides
better quality control and trend analysis. Dynamic baseline
adjustments for each gas component are automatically
performed by the InSite system.
Gas analysis, along with cuttings lithology and available
MWD data, can be correlated with drilling parameters and
reference material through Sperry’s extensive formation
sampling and evaluation services, which also include
gas-in-mud analysis, calcimeter results, bulk density,
cuttings gas, and luminescence fingerprinting.
EAGLE gas system, In addition to traditional gas traps
located in the header tank, Surface Data Logging has also
introduced a constant volume and temperature gas
extraction system that will pump a drilling fluid sample
from as close to the bell nipple as possible to a skid mounted
processing module. The system will heat a known quantity
of drilling fluid to a known temperature before liberating
the gasses from the fluid in a consistent manor. This will
ensure that “heavy” hydrocarbon gas compounds are
liberated for analysis and that the measurement is more
consistent for comparison from well to well. Detecting the
heavy hydrocarbon compounds enables much more
powerful analysis of the gas ratios to be performed.
For close-up visual examination of cuttings samples and
core chips at the wellsite, Digital Cuttings Imaging makes it
possible to capture and view detailed images using digital
microscopes that combine the capabilities of a traditional
binocular microscope with a modern digital camera.
Accurate Formation and
Reservoir Evaluation
9. Cataloged by well, cuttings images can be embedded on well logs to
aid identification of changes in formation, or may be used for
training. And because they’re digital, they can be viewed in real time
for onsite analysis, or transmitted electronically for viewing by
remote personnel, providing maximum functionality, so you get the
full picture.
Advanced wellsite geology services can be provided when
formation evaluation is either particularly demanding or your
specialists are not available. The Wellsite Geologist from Sperry is a
very experienced specialist who will have many years experience
interpreting geological data in the area of interest. The Geologist
supervises all aspects of geological data acquisition including
cuttings sample description, reporting and interpretation of drilling
data, drilling gas data, core data, LWD and wireline logging data and
drafting of composite logs. The Geologist continuously monitors
offset well data, is responsible for picking core point and casing
setting points and reports on potential drilling hazards as well as
acting as focal point at the wellsite for all geological information.
When precise borehole positioning or geosteering cannot be
accomplished by conventional methods, such as LWD or
biostratigraphy, LaserStrat® chemostratigraphy offers an innovative
and dependable alternative.
Providing “geochemical fingerprinting” in near real-time at the
wellsite, the LaserStrat specialist utilizes a small portable laser
spectrometer to rapidly measure the whole-rock chemistry of
cuttings. This provides signatures of each stratigraphic unit when
paleontology markers are absent or non-definitive, and facilitates
better drilling decisions.
Even in horizontal and HT/HP applications where other steering
methods fail, LaserStrat can deliver enhanced stratigraphic control
for precise wellbore placement.
Details of the Stratasteer geosteering service can be provided by your
Sperry Drilling Services representative.

LaserStrat Chemosteering® Service:
A Horizontal Success Story
Encountering a fault of undefined displacement
aer 400 meters of horizontal drilling, one
operator chose LaserStrat chemostratigraphy-
while-drilling service to decide whether a
sidetrack was warranted.
When the LaserStrat data showed that drilling
upward just five meters would position the
wellbore back in the porosity zone, the shallow
gas well was successfully chemosteered® to TD
without a costly sidetrack or abandonment.
Used for chemosteering in subsequent wells, the
fault information revealed by the LaserStrat
service precisely guided wellbore placement
that more than doubled gas production in the
third well.
