Introduction of Well Logging & its

interpretation
METHODOLOGY
• Interpretation Flowchart

Check calibrations, parameters, hole • Data formats

Primary information
conditions, scales, curve responses, etc. (LIS,DLIS,LAS)
• Load the data in GEOLOG
Split the log into major zones based on (paradigm software)
Zoning
formations, fluids, and hole conditions
• Well composite
• Splice data of different
Identify the main lithology (shale, intervals
Lithology / Fluids sands, carbonates…) and fluids (gas,
oil, water) • Check Depth matching

Compute porosity using multiple

• Environment correction
Effective Porosity methods, as appropriate for the • Data ready for processing/
lithology and fluid interpretation

Water or hydrocarbon Identify a water zone, compute Rw,

Saturation and compute saturation in other zones.
How much hydrocarbon?
Vhc = A * h * ɸ * Sh * B

Where:
B = Constant
Φ = Effective Porosity
Sh = Hydrocarbon Saturation
h = Reservoir Thickness
A = Area covered by Reservoir
