IP3.4 Data Base Structure

Curve Sets can be customized
Top Bottom interval
Step
Irregular step allowed

Data loading to set of correct step

6 data loaded to 6 set

1 data loaded to 1 set
0.1 data loaded to 0.1 set (FMI)

Automatic extrapolation between sets

Allows mixing of input set in modules

All output curves in a module must

belong to the same set or set type
Depth curve created for each set
Curve names maximum length
increased to 14 characters
Set names maximum length increased
to 8 characters

Database Security
Each well in the database can have a
security setting
Security is set by user logon name
Wells can be
Read / Write
Read Only
No access

No access wells just show well name

on load screen and wells can not be
loaded
Read only wells load as a well copy
and can not overwrite original
Can be saved under a new name

Access rights can be set by project or

by individual wells

History Module
Stores History on Modules run

History Module
Stores History on Curves

History Module

Makes comparison between listings

Zone Linking
Zone Sets can be linked so they share the same :
Top and Bottom depth
Zone Name and Zone colour

Once linked any operation done on one of the sets in a linked group is done on them all
Change zone name
Change depths
Create new zone

Zone Sets - Enhancements

Copy a parameter set to a tops set
Edit Tops set in a parameter window
Allows editing of Linked sets
Output tops to a listing / clipboard

Substitution
Unocal / Chevron proprietary module now released in IPv3.4
Developed by Chris Skelt - Chevron

Mineral Solver Enhancements

Ability to solve for the un-invaded zone

or in-between.

covered by Coal, Salt and Bad
hole logic
Volcanic, Anhydrite etc

Porosity and Water Saturation

Enhancements
Comparisons can be made between
the different porosity methods
Allows calibration of sonic porosity
parameters in good hole for use in bad
hole zones

Comparisons of different Sw methods

Output effective Sw and also Total Sw

Comparisons are designed for QC

purposes and not for final results
No iterations are made between Phie
and Sw. Assumes normal Phie and Sw
results for use in the model
calculations

Porosity and Water Saturation

Enhancements
Thomas-Stieber shale distribution calculations
Dispersed, laminar and structural volumes
Properties of the sand laminations calculated

Laminated Clay

Dispersed Clay

Sand Lamination properties

Clay Volume and Porosity Water

Saturation Linking
If the Clay Volume and PhiSw module
zone sets are linked we can now link clay
parameters
Density, Neutron and Sonic Clay

Change Density clay on a PhiSw Xplot

Changes Density clay in Clay volume
Re-runs Clay Volume
Runs PhiSw

Sw Modelling Enhancements - Set-up

and Corrections
QC Pc Height V. Sw plug crossplots
More selection of default crossplots

Closure Corrections on individual plugs

Plug Phi and Perm now displayed on QC page
Plug line colour now shown on setup window

Sw Modelling Enhancements Cap

Pressure Functions
Data for a function can be selected by zone
Current function being worked on is now shown in
the setup module for individual plug selection

Weighted Regression for function

Weights the data by 1/Shr. Weights the low Sws

Sw Modelling Enhancements Log

Functions
Weighted regression added
FWL and selected wells are saved by function
FWL can be set for all wells from the equation tab
Data for a function can be selected by zone

Sw Modelling Enhancements Sw V.
Height Curves
Options extended to allow Gas over Oil calculations of Pc
Gas/Oil contact is entered plus Gas Density
Pc in the gas zone calculated by adding the Pc in the Oil to the Pc in gas
IFT correction factors can be set for both Oil and Gas
Hence the same function can be used for both fluid

Sw Modelling Enhancements Grain

Size curves
Set-Up module now outputs from Pc curves
Grain size distribution array curves
Sw normalized Pc array curves (for plotting on Log plots)

Basic Log Functions - Enhancements

Calculation Bulk density from density porosity
Calculation of Permeability using default equations
New conversion tab
Oil and Gas density
Sigma Oil, Gas and Water

Sigma Cased Hole Sw Enhancements

Sigma matrix can now be optional
entered rather than calculated from Rho
matrix
New Output curves
Sigma Open Hole Reconstructed
Sigma 100% Water apparent
Sigma 100% Hydrocarbon apparent

Sigma / Phi Xplot with const Sw lines

Depth Shifting
Depth offset (shift) curve can now be
named per track
Auto Depth Shift
Correlation type can be defined
Distance away from original shift can be
defined to stop new shifts overwriting old

New module to shift curves using

previously generated depth offset curves

Dip Picking Image logs

Dips can be picked from images
Dip type selected from display window
Display window allows manual dip
value entry

Interactive editing
Left mouse for editing angle and size
Right mouse for editing depth

Plotting - Enhancement
Default Plot can be specified for all wells
When a new plot is requested for a well the selected plot format will be used

Customizable Log Plot Headers and

Footers
Log Plot Headers and Footers
Total customization of Headers
Montage builder used to create the header formats
Will link in automatically well and log attributes
Default formats are similar to IP3.3

Attributes are
mapped in the
Montage builder
