EXAMPLE Common used Method using NtoG flag

(assuming Vcl cutoff of 50%) method based on Vcl cutoff

1 - Vcl If Vcl < cutoff → 1

meters Vcl If Vcl > cutoff → 0

Shale 1 80% clay 0.2 0 Shale

10% Shaly
Shaly 2 0.9 1
Sand Sand

Shale 3 70% 0.3 0 Shale

Shaly Shaly
4 20% 0.8 1
Sand
Sand

Shale
5 60% 0.4 0 Shale

∑ = 2.6 ∑ = 2
Cutoff = 50%
NtoG = 2.6 / 5 NtoG
NtoG==22/ /55
NtoG = 52% NtoG==40%
NtoG 40%
Error including sand
content in shales More accurate
(Vcl > cutoff)
