A recipe on how to merge several different LAS files into a single unified one. Wells usually have log curves scattered in different LAS files of different step resolutions and depth zone coverage.

GeolOil ships with a small collection of LAS and GLOG files. Learn how to access them. The built-in collection can be optionally expanded with a learning set of practical study cases —highly recommended—

This recipe shows how to import core data, which should be displayed as a collection of irregularly spaced dots. Core data can be imported from CSV Excel spreadsheets.

Learn how to calculate parameters of reservoir quality, like net-reservoir and net-pay thickness, and even to plot them on your log display.

The standard, classical default technique to compute cutoffs for volume of shale, porosity and water saturation. One of our most referenced articles on the internet, even for the year 2019 patents.

Learn how to compute volume of shale from the gamma-ray curve using the formulas of Linear Index, Larionov, Clavier, Stieber, and GeolOil blend.

After VSH(GR), this is the most reliable technique. Neutron porosity curve responds to hydrogen content in clays. The overestimated porosity compared to density porosity yields a good estimate for VSH.

GeolOil has 25 different classical models to compute water saturation and Total Organic Content (TOC). Compare results with different models. Check the influence of electrical parameters on SW.

The Indonesia Poupon-Leveaux model is among the finest SW models. It is a general purpose equation, often more accurate than Simandoux, specially in clastic reservoirs with low salinities.

Our toolbox of equations to calculate common rock geomechanical properties, like Young Modulus of elasticity, Poisson Ratio, Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS), Sand Production Index, and others.

A simple recipe on how to split the rock components. Visualize and display volumetric proportions of Vshale, non shaly matrix, and split the porosity in water and hydrogen fluids.

Check our fine built-in collection of fuzzy logic mineral solvers. They are easy to use, yet provide reliable results even when compared with X-RAY diffraction core lab measurements.

Estimate fracture porosity at the log scale (1-3 feet), using sonic and density logs. Correlate fracture porosity with geomechanical properties to explore where fracture occurs.

This article explains the concepts behind the Apparent Water Resistivity (Rwa). Learn how to correct Rwa for clay in shaly reservoirs. Quickly screen for pay zones without a custom fit SW model.

Water NaCl equivalent salinity and Rw, are probably the most important parameters to establish a good SW model. Learn how to compute salinity and Rw from ionic water analyses.

This article gives clues and techniques on how to estimate formation water resistivity (Rw), and cementation porosity exponent "m" using only log curves data.

This article discusses techniques and hints on how to estimate the rock matrix density (RHOM) based on core, and specially log data using neutron and density curves, as well as mineral solvers.

How to calculate averages of properties for zones like formations, members, beds, facies, and flow units. Estimate upscaled water saturation and porosities suitable for volumetrics.

Learn to estimate porosity from the flushed zone resistivity. The estimation does not depend on RHOB or NPHI and is robust against the presence of gas. The article also introduces corrections for shaly matrices.

The SW Ratio method allows to estimate the water saturation on clean formations without knowing its porosity. This article also introduces corrections to deal with shaly matrices.

This article discusses three techniques to detect gas caps: The neutron-density cross-over difference, the increase in fluid transit time, and the overburden vertical stress gradient change.

This page shows a dictionary of typically encountered mnemonics for LAS file curves, their descriptions, and our suggested aliases. It is a quick resource reference.

The GeolOil interpretation work-flow is an ordered sequence of chained functions. Each parameter can be a constant or a curve on its own. Change any parameter and update your model with a single click.

GeolOil Logging Scripting is a specific powerful language for well logs. It is probably the easiest tool in the industry of petrophysics software. Far easier than Schlumberger Python TechLog.

The reference manual for the GLS language, with the list of functions, syntax, its compact default streaming mode, and its advanced looping mode.

This page shows the modified Simandoux equation for water saturation and two variations that avoid iterative solutions. It also deduces the Simandoux model from the Archie conductivity.

An article that highlights the differences between VSH and VCL, and how to compute from logs. A core photograph ilustrates the sealing nature of shales.
