depth level from every logging
pass then allows user to filter data
until optimal slope and threshold is
determined
• Considers changing spinner
position and fluid holdup at every
depth level
• Slope and Threshold calculated for
each spinner in each fluid type
• Results in more accurate velocity
calculation in deviated or horizontal
wells
Gas
Water
Spinners

22. Production Logging Updates
• New Graphical
Display of
Results for
Deviated or
Horizontal wells
• Displays the
Velocity, Holdup
and Flowrates
calculated from
the individual
borehole
segments per
zone

23. Acoustic Waveform Processing Updates
• Added the Miniplot “Curve Rose-plot” for presenting Fast Angle and
making false Anistropy easier to identify
• Added first iteration of Reflection-analysis tools & plot
• Added Integrated Travel-Time curve creation and presentation
• Added manual generation of Fast/Slow waves (critical after editing
FastAngle)

corrects for ‘move-out’ and enhances signal-to-noise
• Added waveform DC-removal option per mode
• Added waveform common-mode removal per mode
• Added new Early/Late parameter editing
• Fixes several bugs & client-issues

25. NMR Enhancements - T2 Wet Workflow
• Replace Gas signal with a water signal.
• Calculate gas signal from
hydrocarbon seen in NMR using
the LHC processing
• Subtract out gas signal from T2
• Calculate water signal from
porosity difference between NMR
and PhiT density, plus gas signal.
• Add water signal in by adjusting the
position so the T2 log mean
matches the T2 Log mean
calibration T2 wet log mean match T2
calibration log mean

26. NMR Enhancements - T2 Wet Workflow
Calibration of T2 log mean
• Xplot FF/BF versus T2 log mean in non
hydrocarbon zones shows a straight line
• Use this relationship in hydrocarbon zones
to estimate T2 log mean
• Calibration adjusts the water signal so that
T2 Wet log mean matches the calibration
T2 log mean

27. NMR Enhancements - T2 Wet Workflow
• Mean Calibration
• Zone
• Facies
• Multi well

Weatherford COI, Schlumberger Microscope
HD
• Modified Gain Correction for Baker Hughes
tools
• AutoDip can now run on Image360 tools

have been developed to complement the existing
Image Enhancements already found in IA
• Dedicated Borehole Image Filter Module – 20
Transforms
• Create new Image Tool for each chosen filter

33. Image Analysis – Updates
Image Deconvolution
• Reduce noise images, Deconvolve into a low
frequency background image and a high
frequency foreground image
• The low frequency image (LFI) responds to
lithology/facies and can be used as inputs to
IP’s Rock Typing modules
• The high frequency image (HFI) provides a
clearer image of bedding, fractures and other
artefacts and can be used to perform further
interpretation e.g fracture picking
• Example shows results from Cluster Analysis
which used GR and two curves derived from
the LFI image. The results compare well with
the two images

34. Image Analysis – Updates
Navigation QC
• Navigation QC has been rewritten as an Image Tool
aware module (previously it was a User App).
• Supports Schlumberger, Halliburton, Baker Hughes and
Weatherford tools
• Streamlined workflow - Select the Image Tool and the
Output Curve-Set, examine the crossplots and log-plots,
zone the data, manually adjust the centroid and, finally,
save the results
• The log-plot now features a comparison of original and
corrected inclinometry and provides the ability to define a
subset of data for correlation
• We automatically apply Magnetic Declination, when
required
• Also has the ability to use an LWD Survey inclination
curve when the magnetometers are affected by the
environment

35. Brittleness Index
• New Brittleness Index Calculation
• Output from Rock Mechanics
module within the Unconventional
Resources suite
• Described in SPE paper 115258. “A
Practical Use of Shale
Petrophysics for Stimulation
Design Optimization: All Shale
Plays Are Not Clones of the Barnett
Shale“.

36. Briggs Colour Cubing
• An interesting approach to spectal gamma ray interpretation
was presented at SPWLA 2017
• The authors established the convention of scaling the
portion of gamma ray due to uranium using the blue axis,
potassium on red and thorium on green
• The results are easy to display in a depth-based log by
filling the gamma ray track with this colour shading. This
depicts both the total value and composition of the gamma
ray measurement
• For those interested, an IP User App is available that
implements this functionality. Please contact your account
manager for further details
• For more information on the technique please see: BRIGGS COLOUR
CUBING OF SPECTRAL GAMMA RAY - A NOVEL TECHNIQUE FOR EASIER

and Lisa Song, Chevron Canada Resources.PaperU SPWLA 2017
