Typical Petrophysics Workflow

Typical petrophysics workflow involves 23 steps including inputting log data, editing logs, running calculations, picking parameters, performing interpretations, and generating outputs like contour maps and reports. Key steps include normalizing data, running programs for clay volume, porosity, water saturation, and reservoir properties, and preparing final logplot and map presentations to convey results.

Typical petrophysics workflow

1. Database creation
2. Create a new project, wells
3. Input log data.
4. Tvd/ TVDSS computations
5. Establish families/ aliases
6. Display the wells in Basemap.
7. Enter tops/zones for the well.
o Manually
o Copied from a spreadsheet such as Microsoft Excel
o Imported from an ASCII file.
8. Contour tops in Basemap to verify that the tops are consistent with known geology.
9. Edit the log data.
o Splice logging runs to make continuous versions of each curve.
o Depth shift curves to a common depth reference.
o Baseline shift the SP to correct for drift.
o Patch curves to correct problems such as sonic cycle skips, casing effect, etc.
o Use Synthetic Curve Generator to synthesize missing curve data.
10. Prepare for environmental corrections.
o Create/ import a temperature curve
o Run Neutron Matrix Conversions. (require that the neutron curve be in decimal
limestone units)
11. Apply environmental corrections.
12. Run some quick, basic calculations and make a logplot of the results. Compute the
following:
o neutron-density crossplot porosity and apparent grain density
o neutron-sonic crossplot porosity and apparent DT matrix
o porosity from the sonic and density logs
o UMatrix, UMatrix Apparent, M, N
o Rwa, Rmfa
13. Generate crossplots and histograms by zone. To determine lithology, pororsity, Rw, clay
mineralogy, hydrocarbon zones as well as Rmf.
14. Normalize the data.
1

15. If normalization is performed, then do as follows:
o Rerun the basic calculations using the normalized curves.
o Regenerate the crossplots and histograms.
16. Using the Interactive Parameter Picker or by visual inspection, pick necessary
computational parameters such as the following:
o Rwa from Pickett plots or from SP and Rmf
o GR clean values based on visual inspection of the GR log in clean rocks
o GR shale values based on visual inspection of the GR log in shales
o clean grain density from neutron-density crossplot
17. Contour parameters in Basemap to verify that the values in each zone are consistent with
known geology and production history.
18. Run the Clay Volume program (using lateral average if necessary) and view the
calculation results in a logplot. Available options in the Clay Volume program include
o single or multiple curve indicators
o crossplot indicators, such as Vclay from neutron-density crossplots
o discriminators set for individual crossplot indicators
19. Run the appropriate interpretation programs and logplot displays. Typically these would
include
o Rw from pickette plot. Correct temp log
o Clay Volume computation
o Calculation of porosity
1. Density correction
2. Grain density determination
o Computation of water saturation
1. Conventional Shaly Sand analysis or
2. Laminated Sand-Shale Analysis
o MultiMin/Complex Lithology analysis
o Determine cutoffs
o User programs
o QC logplots such as Statmin-reconstructed log overlays
o Borehole Dip Picker to determine the true dip and azimuth of beds from borehole
image logs
o Facies Classification module to identify electrofacies in the current well and
surrounding wells
o logplots of final results, for example, showing bulk volumes together with
permeability
o Sensitivity analysis
o Synthetic curve generation
o Missing curves
o Saturation height function
20. Run Summation Report including reservoir engineering parameters such as integrated
pay thickness and hydrocarbon pore volume.
21. Generate contour maps of zonal thicknesses and volumes.
o Create zone parameters for thickness and volume, entering the values from the
summation reports.
o Contour those parameters.
22. Prepare final logplot presentations.
o Final Logplot presentations usually include raw logs, PHIE, Sw, permeability,
bulk formation volume, dip plot, and electrofacies interpretation displays.
o Final Basemap presentations may include cartography, bubble maps, and attribute
maps in order to convey results graphically.
23. Create a collage with representative logplots, crossplots, and histograms to present to
management.
