PetroWorks Family of Products

Overview

The PetroWorks family of productsLogEdit, PetroWorks Asset, and

PetroWorks Proprovides petrophysicists and geoscientists with the
ability to quickly and easily analyze digital well logs in a project.
Whether the logs come from early resistivity devices or from the latest
suite of wireline services, PetroWorks can help users gain the most
from their data.

Looking at the earth-centric interpretation process, as you proceed from

acquisition of data to earth modeling, several overlapping data
processing areas occur. PetroWorks began as a product centered on
petrophysical interpretation, but it now extends in both directions,
toward more specialized acquisition-related processing and also toward
more general interpretation. Virtually no other formation evaluation
software packages span the process from acquisition to interpretation
with any widespread success.

Introduction to PetroWorks and Log Edit Landmark

LogEdit, PetroWorks Asset, and PetroWorks Pro products are

constructed so that LogEdit is a subset of the functionality and
applications in PetroWorks Asset, and PetroWorks Asset is a subset of
the functionality and applications in PetroWorks Pro.

LogEdit (including the LogEdit application and other utilities)

facilitates the preparation of wellbore data for analysis. It is
targeted for data management professionals.

PetroWorks Asset provides data preparation and interpretation

capabilities for casual users, such as asset team members, while
shielding those users from the complex interpretive applications in
PetroWorks Pro.

PetroWorks Pro provides a full range of data preparation and

interpretation capabilities for full-time formation evaluation
specialists and for others wanting the same functionality. Along
with more (and more complex) interpretive models, PetroWorks
Pro also includes Model Builder, a rapid application development
environment. Models built with Model Builder can be distributed
to colleagues as executable files (which preserves the integrity of
the code) and can be executed by users of PetroWorks Asset and
PetroWorks Pro.

PetroWorks Application Types

Two basic types of applications exist in PetroWorks: (1) Data
Preparation and (2) Interpretation. A number of utilities support these
applications.

Landmark Graphics Corporation Introduction to PetroWorks Family of Products

Data Prep
As the name implies, Data Prep is associated with various kinds of
correction, cleanup, and editing that are necessary before certain data
can be used properly as input to interpretive algorithms. Data Prep
occurs in the nebulous area between acquisition, post-acquisition
processing (which is presumed here to include calibration), and
petrophysical interpretation.

Data Prep is almost exclusively a single-well activity and is heavily

dependent on information taken from the acquisition context. Data Prep
applications typically modify one curve to produce a processed version.
They take a single input and produce a single output, maintaining the
acquisition context of the original input.

Example applications within PetroWorks include LogEdit and

Environmental Corrections. These applications can accept multiple
inputs, but their purpose is to produce modified versions of these
inputsthey generally do not synthesize wholly new data as curves.

Interpretation
This type of application generally accepts multiple inputs and produces
multiple outputs. The results are based on an interpreters choice of
input and other subjective determination, like parameters, that might
specify detailed behavior of an algorithm. The algorithm is often based
on one or more empirical formulae.

The acquisition context for log curves is stressed much less. Data
source and version become more important, because outputs may be
generated iteratively by several interpreters trying various input and
parameter combinations.

Interpretation tends to be a multi-well activity. Example applications

include QuickInterp, MultiMineral, and DualWater.

PetroWorks/LogEdit Applications
The table below shows the applications available in each of the
products in the PetroWorks family. Applications are grouped by
functionality. LE is LogEdit, PA is PetroWorks Asset, and PP is
PetroWorks Pro.

PetroWorks Family Applications

Application LE PA PP Application Description

Project Management

Source Priority List enables you to establish separate prioritized lists for petrophysical
Manager data sources and geologic (stratigraphic) data sources. Many
interpreters can be working in the same project at the same time, and
the Interpreter/Source Priority settings tell the program whose data
you want to use. The geology list option in the Interpreter Source
Priority List Manager replaces the Session menu option Interpreter/
Source Priority available in previous releases.

Curve Alias List allows you to maintain and manipulate ordered lists of curve names
Manager (mnemonics) represented by a single name, representing a general
curve type similar to POSC trace classifications. Curve aliasing
allows you to select the curve type while in an application: Based on
your curve alias list, the system then determines actual curve names
on a well by well basis at processing time.

Preferences allows you to establish the stratigraphic framework for the session,
i.e., control which project stratigraphic column is used to for
displaying surfaces and unit in dialog boxes in PetroWorks
applications for the session

Strat Column Editor allows you to build multiple stratigraphic columns, thereby defining
the project stratigraphic framework.

Data Import, Export, and Conversion

Log Export Utility enables you to export curves to Stratamodel (SM1) and LAS formats.

Wellbore Data creates pseudo log curves from conventional core analysis data stored
Converter in the core tables in the OpenWorks database.

Lithology Curve enables you to transform computed lithology data intervals

Generator determined in StratWorks into equivalent depth-based log curves that
have unique integer log values for each lithology type.

PetroWorks Family Applications (Continued)

Application LE PA PP Application Description
Data Preparation

Environmental provides more than 200 corrections for Baker Atlas, Gearhart,
Corrections Halliburton, Schlumberger, Sperry Sun, and Welex tools.

Temperature Curve formerly part of the Environmental Corrections application, this

Creation utility enables you to create a temperature curve over the length of the
well. The curve is necessary to account for resistivity changes with
temperature in water saturation and other equations.

Curve Smoothing formerly part of the Environmental Corrections, this utility enables
you to smooth, or filter, curve data. The filters are intended to smooth
data with fine vertical resolution to the coarser vertical resolutions of
other data, such as deep resistivity measurements. The filters assume
a periodic sample rate of 2 samples per foot.

Well Data Management and Editing

LogEdit enables you to perform interactive or manual log edits on log curves.
Log Edit options include depth shifting, baseline shifting, patching,
splicing, rescaling, resampling, and gap filling.

Wellbore Parameter enables you to edit petrophysical parameter values stored in

Editor OpenWorks via a spreadsheet interface. It works interactively with
the all PetroWorks interpretive applications for selecting input and
output curves and editing both global (shared earth) parameters and
parameters specific to interpretive applications.

Strat Unit Editor allows you to easily add, modify, and delete units and picks

Curve Utility enables you to copy users curves, delete curves for which you are the
source, bulk depth shift curves, and generate curve history reports on
data from one or more wells. You can customize the interface by
sorting, filtering, and/or hiding any of 32 data types.

Basic Interpretive Applications

Preliminary calculates a number of quantities of interest for quick look and
Reconnaissance standard interpretation techniques. These include single measurement
porosities, crossplot porosities, apparent lithologic values, water
resistivity from the SP, and apparent water resistivity and apparent
mud filtrate resistivity using crossplot porosities.

Log Functions allows you to do basic log calculations such as porosity corrections
and water saturations using the Archie formula.

QuickInterp provides quick-look interpretation calculations for shale volume,

porosity, water saturation, and permeability index by various
algorithms in each of the above categories. Because it can be set up to
make all calculations in a single pass, it is ideal for reconnaissance-
type applications, or for determining reservoir parameters at a general
first-cut level. Output curves from Preliminary Reconnaissance can
be used to determine some of the parameters required by
QuickInterp.

PetroWorks Family Applications (Continued)

Application LE PA PP Application Description
Progressive Interpretive Applications

Shale Volume calculates up to 11 different shale volumes from up to 8 input curves.

The program also calculates a minimum or average of selected shale
volume curves. Output from this program can be used as input to
other programs that require or allow input of an externally-derived
shale volume.

Complex Lithology allows you to process rock matrices consisting of up to three different
minerals. The application returns mineral properties as well as the
conventional results of water saturation and corrected porosity. This
application requires at least three different porosity measuring logs.

OnePhiSw calculates water saturation from one of several shaly sand equations
using a single input porosity. If density, sonic, or neutron, an effective
porosity is calculated, or an externally determined effective porosity
can also be input. Outputs included undisturbed zone water
saturation, Sw, flushed zone water saturation, Sxo, if an Rxo curve is
available, bulk volume waters, and coal and salt indicators. An Archie
water saturation can be calculated if shale parameters and inputs are
turned off.

Shaly Sand lets you determine corrected porosity and water saturation from
various shale determination routines. You have the option of which
tool to use (GR, SP, Neutron, etc.) as well as whether to use linear
and non-linear shale determination formulae. You can also choose
from three different complex water saturation equations (Indonesian,
Simandoux, and Modified Simandoux).

Dual Water uses only the Dual Water shaly sand method to solve for water
saturation. The program also outputs total and effective porosities and
volumes of the main constituents of the rock: wet clay, dry clay, silt
and matrix. Hydrocarbon density can either be input or calculated
within the program. Matrix density can either be entered as a fixed
value or as an input curve. The program uses the neutron and density
logs to determine porosity, and corrects them for clay and
hydrocarbon effects through an iterative technique. Sxo is determined
from Rxo, or from the EPT measurement, or from an empirical
equation if neither measurement is available. If both measurements
are available, a variable cementation exponent can be calculated.

MultiMineral similar to Complex Lithology in that it allows you to process rock

matrices consisting of three or more different minerals. The
application returns mineral properties as well as the conventional
results of water saturation and corrected porosity. This application
requires either three or four different porosity measuring logs.

Pulsed Neutron allows you to process thermal decay neutron logs. It calculates
saturations using the dual water model given an intrinsic formation
sigma value from any pulsed neutron tool. It can also calculate
borehole corrected porosity from TDT-K Ratio and Sigma.

PreMRIAN, Swb used in sequence, enable you determine total and effective porosities,
MRIAN, MRIAN total, effective, and bound water saturations, bulk volume water
group estimates, and reconstructed resistivities and SP curves using not only
conventional logs but also NMR data including NMR porosities.
Uses the Dual Water model.

User Programming

Model Builder allows you to design your own petrophysical model, a mathematical
description of how you want to manipulate the physical
measurements taken from well curves. Then, from your own
specifications, Model Builder builds an executable PetroWorks
application, which you and others can run to analyze and interpret
well log data. A working knowledge of C or FORTRAN is required
to effectively use this feature.

MathPack enables you to build algorithms and apply them against one or more
curves on multiple wells and units. You can solve virtually any
equation mixing curves and constants.

User Models see and run published user-written models

Visualization

Crossplot/Histograms allows you to plot up to three different curves, with multiple

discriminators, using industry standard overlays. You can visualize
the data in three dimensions in histograms and log views, and easily
transfer parameter information to other applications.

Single Well Viewer enables you to use templates created in Well Template Editor to
display wellbore data in log formats. This version of Single Well
Viewer displays vector, or multi-valued, data as well as the more
common single-valued data.

Wellbore Manager enables you to track the history of a well from beginning to end, to
examine the characteristics of a hole and the equipment in the hole, to
design a new or altered completion and production string, and to add,
edit, query, and delete mechanical data alongside your equipment

Tabular List generates a report of digital curve data for particular depth points or
units for any selected set of curves and depths. By comparing the
report with the graphical display in LogEdit, you can verify data or
confirm that data exists for a particular depth.

Integration with Other Landmark Products

PetroWorks is fully integrated with the Landmark suite of products:

Logs, picks, and zone (unit) attributes are stored in the OpenWorks
database and are thus, directly accessible to all Landmark products
that access the database. With the aid of the Log Export Utility,
even Stratamodel can access them.

Pointsets that are created inside Z-Map Plus are automatically

available to MapView in PetroWorks.

Perforation curves that were created inside the Wellbore Manager

application can be brought into PetroWorks for use when
performing curve and isopach calculations.

Units of Measure and Systems of Measurement

Data is stored in consistent measurement units. There is a preferred storage unit for
all measured quantities. These preferences are set when the project is created so
that data loaded into the project is converted to project units. For data management
purposes, the original units of the data as loaded are stored in fields that are named
the same as the associated field and have the suffix: _OUOM.

Should you have a question as to whether the correct conversions have been
performed, you can compare the original units in the _OUOM field with the
storage units defined project wide.

Systems of Measurement consist of a preferred unit for each type of measurement.

There are four default systems: US Oil Field, SPE Preferred Metric, US Oil Field
(metric depth), and Canadian Metric.
