Lesson 1

Data Import

DLIS File Import

There are two ways you can import *.dlis data - File(s) import or Selective DLIS import (Figure 14).

Figure 14

File(s) import dialog

File(s) import loads the header and the data, applies the family assignment rules, and calculates statistics when loading to the buffer.


Selective DLIS import loads the header to the buffer and applies the family assignment rules (quick load). When you transfer files to the Project browser, it loads the data and calculates statistics. This type of import is useful when working with large Wellbore image files, or when you to view the content of the file. Imported data are displayed in the import buffer, where you can verify that all variables are present (Figure 15).

Figure 15

Selective DLIS import dialog

After data are imported into the buffer, highlight the datasets to be imported into the project and click the Blue Arrow into the Project browser (Figure 16).

In the exercises that follow, you import TOPS1, TOPS2, and TOPS3.


25

Data Import


Exercise 1

Importing Filename TOPS1

To import filename TOPS1: 1. Verify that the import type is set to files import. 2. Define the well name column. 3. Define the dataset name column. 4. Define the reference unit. 5. Define the dataset type (Interval). Two settings were configured automatically: •

Variable name line was set to 1.

•

Data import will be done from line 2. These settings should be verified for any future files.


NOTE:

Exercise 2


To import filename TOPS2: 1. Activate the property Top/bottom. This is useful for cases in which you have a top column and a bottom column. Notice that the property Dataset type was automatically set to interval. 2. Define the TOP and Bottom columns and verify they have the correct units. Notice that, in this example, there is no need to define the reference curve. The Top variable will be used as a reference. 3. Define the well name column.

26



Data Import

4. Define the Dataset name in the Property area. If no column is defined as dataset name, you have the option of entering a name. 5. Click Load to the import buffer.


Notice the red error messages in the output dock window during the import process: [10:01] Warning: The reference column (variable #2) is not sorted at line 64: Well9;TOPS2;11233.5;ZoneE. [10:01] Warning: The reference column (variable #2) is not sorted at line 65: Well9;TOPS2;12065;. 6. Review the original file and make corrections as needed. Notice that a dot is missing in line 26 of the original file. Instead of displaying a depth of 10983.4, the depth is displayed as 109834. 7. After saving corrections to the file, repeat steps 1 through 5 to import it.

Exercise 3


To import filename TOPS3: 1. In the Property area, define Delimiter > Others as a ( ' ) separator and click Preview. 2. Set Combine consecutive separators to yes and click Preview. 3. Remove the unit from the Well name column.


27

Data Import


4. Add a unit to the Reference column. 5. Define Dataset name as TOPS3. 6. Set the Dataset type as interval.


7. Optional: Edit the original file and delete ( ' ) separator.

28



Lesson 4

Data Import

CSV Spreadsheet Import

Core data are imported as point data in *.csv format using the File(s) import option. Display the Data import wizard to verify or change property settings.

Importing a CSV Spreadsheet NOTE:

If you must import Excel data in *.xls (MS Office 2003) or *.xlsx (MS Office 2007) formats, save the files in the *.csv format.

To import this type of spreadsheet: 1. Open the folder \DATA\04 CSV and import the file Well1. The Data import wizard is displayed. 2. Verify that these property settings are correct, or make changes accordingly: a. Set the Dataset type to Point Data. Schlumberger Private

b. Add units to variables. c. Set the Variable name line to 1. d. Set the Import from line to 2. e. Add the FT unit to the reference if it was not previously added. 3. After your point data are added to the import buffer, you should see a display similar to the figure below. The name of your point data dataset should be MICP.


29

Data Import


Exercise 1

Importing Formation Pressure.xlsx

To import the file formation pressure.xlsx: 1. Open the Excel file and save it with the same name in a *.csv format comma delimited file. 2. Define Dataset name and import the data to the buffer only. Notice that the curves were imported as array (vector) data . This is done because, in the original file, at least one depth repeats itself twice. 3. Clean the buffer by clicking

.

4. In the import buffer, click on the word Datasets. In the Properties window, look for the option named ASCII import. 5. Highlight Array creation policy and choose the option add an epsilon to the reference value. This option remains selected for any type of data.


This configuration is not optimal for other types of data, such as Capillary Pressure curves. Choosing the option ask for each case may be useful for future import sessions.

6. If you forgot to configure Well name and Dataset name, make these entries by right-clicking and using the context menu.

Exercise 2

Importing Thin Section Analyses (Table)

To import a thin section analysis: 1. Define variable name line as line 3 (of the original file) and click Preview. Notice that this file has no units. 2. Define unit line as line 0 and click Preview. Notice that, in this instance, the application begins importing the file only from line 10. 3. Define import from line as line 4 and click Preview. 4. If you wish to visualize additional lines in the lower table, increase the number of available lines and click Preview.

30



Data Import

5. Remove the Well name from column 1. 6. Define the curve to be the Reference of the dataset. 7. Add units to the curves and enter a name for Dataset name.

Lesson 7

Data Import

Well Identification Solver: Data Import under the Same Name

This exercise shows you how to import data from one well to another well. This is a useful process when the names of two wells are not identical due to a typing error, naming conventions, and so forth.

Exercise 1

Importing under the Same Name

One method of importing the data under the same well is to rename each well. Another solution is to use the Well Identification Solver. To import data under the same name: 1. Import the file RUN1.las to the project. 2. Clean the import buffer by clicking

.


3. Drag-and-drop RUN2.las, RUN3.las and RUN4.las to the import buffer. Notice that the name of the well is slightly different for each file. 4. In the import buffer, click on the word Datasets and view the import properties. The second tab, Well Identification Solver, is active by default. On the left side there is a list of all wells in the import buffer, while on the right side there is a list of the wells that already exist in the project. 5. Link the wells in the buffer to the wells in the project. 6. Return to the buffer and click

to import the data.

Module 3

TVD Computation and Index Dataset


This module covers how to compute a True Vertical Depth (TVD) variable and create an Index dataset. The Index dataset creates a correspondence table using the reference depth of each dataset. This step is necessary in order to link all the datasets within a well. Without the Index, data cannot be displayed in 3D plots and some modules will not run.

Learning Objectives After completing this module, you will know how to use: •

deviation survey data to calculate TVD

•

the Reference Dataset tool to create a correspondence table.

TVD Computation


Lesson 1

This tool uses deviation survey data to calculate true vertical depth (TVD), the offset of the well, and several additional references.

Running a TVD Computation To perform a computation: 1. Select Techdata > TVD computation. 2. Insert the required families, as indicated in the figure, and click Create. An empty True Vertical Depth window displays.


41



3. Drag-and-drop the deviation survey dataset into the Project browser on the left side of the window, under the Wells tab.

A line appears for each well, with additional parameters. The parameters are read directly from the well properties. In this example, it is an on-shore well with an elevation of 90 feet.


4. Scroll across to the Method field on the right side of this parameters line. You can use the drop-down options to change the method used to calculate the TVD curve and sampling rate of the new dataset.

5. Click Apply. A new dataset named TL_WellPath is created under Well1 in the Project browser. This dataset contains: •

TVD - true vertical depth

•

TVDSS - true vertical depth sub-sea measured from the KB

•

XOFFSET - the offset in the X direction from the well position, measured from sea level

•

YOFFSET - the offset in the Y` direction from the well position

•

TVDBML - true vertical depth below mudline, measured from the earth's surface:

•

(TVDSS - water depth)

TIP:

42

The names can be modified in the properties of the method.




6. Remove Well1 from the Wells list in the project navigation pane. 7. Repeat step 3 through step 5 for Wells 2, 3 and 9. 8. Drag-and-drop all three wells together in the navigation pane under the Wells tab and calculate the TVD for each at the same time.

Lesson 2

Correspondences Table Creation

Without an Index dataset, you cannot display items in 3D, display 2D plots according to various references, or work with specific modules.

Creating a Correspondences Table To create a correspondences table: 1. Select Techdata > Reference dataset > Manual build. 2. Drag-and-drop one or more datasets into the Datasets navigation pane. Schlumberger Private

In this example, select two datasets: •

MICP, containing MD and Core depth data

•

TL_Wellpath, containing MD, TVD and TVDSS data.

All the depth measurements in each well are displayed in the corresponding column.

3. For each dataset, choose the curves to use in the Index dataset and click Apply. A new dataset named Index is generated from this operation. It comprises all the depth variables from the datasets present in all the wells used in the process. 4. Remove the datasets from Well1, and repeat the operations for the other wells.

Variables Management


Variables are series of data - alphanumeric, scalar curves or vector arrays - arranged according to a chosen index or reference. Upon import, each variable is assigned to a family using the Family Assignment Rules tool. Each family has its own display properties, regardless of the variable name. For example, any curve assigned to the Bulk Density family displays in a linear scale, using a red color between the limits of 1.95 – 2.95 g/ cm3. If the curve has other units compatible with the family's unit, an on-the-fly conversion is done, and the display respects the same limits. In this instance, the limits are between 1950-2950 Kg/M3. Alias is a generic name for variables, but with an order of priority that can be defined by a user.

Learning Objectives After completing this module, you will know how to: edit the Families database

•

import and export families

•

use the Family Assignment Rules tool

•

work with the Alias system.

Lesson 1

Families Management

The family controls the display settings of all the variables, regardless to the variable name.

Families Database


To access the tools that allow you to change families in the database, select Techdata > Families management > Families database (Figure 21).

Figure 21

48

Menu to access the Families database




The window in Figure 22 lists all the families in the database and the display settings for each family.


Figure 22

Families database window

Two tabs are present in this window: Families and Edit Families. The Families tab displays the settings (unit, min-max, scale, line color, and more) corresponding to each family. The Edit Families tab allows you to change these settings at many levels - User, Project, or Company.


49



Editing Family Settings To edit family settings: 1. Highlight the family to be edited.


2. Right-click and choose the level at which you want to edit the family. The Edit Families tab is activated.

Access to the family display properties for editing is shown in the figure. Icons in this tool provide these actions:

50

Add a family

Save your changes

Delete a family

Update the display




3. In the Edit Families tab, highlight the family to edit and change the settings in the Properties window. The options available to modify the family display settings are shown in the following figure. NOTE:

Permeability is automatically assigned a logarithmic scale, display color, line type and thickness, wrap, automatic palette filling, and more. Refer to the figure.


4. After editing settings in the Properties window, click save the changes.

51



Exporting and Importing Families


You can export the family list to an Excel spreadsheet in *.csv format, modify and add relevant information, then import the revised list. Upon import, you are asked to define in which level the revised list is to be saved - User, Project or Company (Figure 23).

Figure 23

52

Exporting the family list in csv (Excel) format




Editing Family Properties To edit family properties: 1. Select Techdata > Families management > Families database.

TIP:


2. In the window that displays, scroll through the families list and locate the Gamma Ray family. Press a letter on the keyboard that matches the first letter of the name you wish to locate. In this instance, press G to go to this family directly.

3. Highlight the family Gamma Ray / Gamma Ray and view its display options in the Properties window. 4. To edit the display, right-click on the family and select Edit the family > Project. This opens the Edit Families tab. 5. Change some of the settings in the Properties window color, limits or other parameters. 6. Click

to save and validate these modifications.

Notice that the modified items are now saved in the Project level. 7. Drag-and-drop the variable in a layout and view the revised display. 8. Repeat the process for the same family, but now modify the display properties at the User level. 9. Select Edit the family > user and save your changes.


53



10. In the Edit families window, click on one of the levels - User, Project, Company or Techlog - and view the Properties window. The priority in display settings is User first, then Project, Company, and Techlog, in that order.

In the Edit families window, you can deactivate or activate the rules for any level. Deactivating a level means that you will not use the settings at that level. Instead, you will use the settings for the next level down. Deactivating a specific level is useful when you need to generate a report or other specific output.


For example, gamma ray displayed with Techlog settings is always displayed with a baseline value of 75 for the area fill. If you have no need for the settings, you can remove them from a baseline in the User level. Because users can use their own display settings, identical data may be displayed in different ways. To maintain continuity, you can use Project settings instead of your personal settings so that all plots in the project are harmonized. The same logic follows for the Company level.

Creating a New Family You also can create a new family at any level. To create a new family: 1. In the Edit families tab, select one level: User, Project, Company, or Techlog. 2. Click New

.

3. In the window that displays, highlight the main family, family and level in which to save the new family. TIP:

Alternatively, you can add a new family to the predefined list of Main families.

4. After creating a new family, go to the Properties window and define the display settings for the new family. 5. Click to validate and save the changes, and assign a curve to your new family. 6. Right-click on a curve in the Project browser, and assign it to the new family using the contextual menu that is displayed.

54




7. Display the curve in a layout and verify that the settings are correct.

Family Assignment Rules Tool Upon import, variables are assigned automatically to specific families. This is done on the fly according to the variable name and unit by means of the Family Assignment Rules tool. In the dataset DATAFULL, some curves are not assigned to a family and are red in color. This means the curve name did not match any of the existing rules. To use the Family Assignment Rules tool: 1. Select Techdata > Families management > Family assignment rules. This opens the list of all the rules that were applied. 2. Use the Quick Search tool to focus on a family of interest. In this instance, view all the rules in search of the Core Porosity family. Schlumberger Private

Notice that the variable C_PHI was not assigned automatically to this family.

3. To create a new rule, select the list level in which the new rule will be located. The default level is All. Change the level to the Project level. 4. Notice that all the rules disappear, as they all belong to the Techlog level, and the icons that were grayed out are now visible. 5. Click New

to create a new rule.

6. Define the main family and family: •

Main family: Core Analysis Routine

•

Family: Core Porosity


55



7. Define the variable name: C_PHI. 8. Define a unit. If you leave the unit as an asterisk (*), the unit is a wild card. This means the rule will be applied on only the variable name and not its unit. 9. Click OK. 10. Before applying the rule, test which variables will be affected as a result of this new assignment rule. a. Tick the option: Test only and click Apply to all variables. b. View the list of variables in the Output dock window. 11. When you are satisfied, uncheck the tick mark from the Test only and apply the rule. Notice that the color of the variable changes. 12. Click on the variable C_PHI in the Project browser. The properties of this variable show that it is assigned to the Core Porosity family. 13. Look again at the list of all rules that assign a curve. A new rule is displayed with a priority above all other rules. Schlumberger Private

NOTE:

It is possible for two or more rules to contradict each other. Should this be the case, the rule highest in the list will be applied first.

14. Repeat Step 3 through Step 11 for the variable name CKK, and assign it to Main family: Core Analysis Routine and Family: Core Permeability. The family assignment rules list can also be exported to Excel, modified and imported.

56



Lesson 2


Aliases Management

Aliases are generic names of variables, with an order of priority that you can define. The priority is defined according to the level of the alias - User, Project, Company, Techlog - as well within each level.

Aliases Database To access the Aliases database, select Techdata > Aliases management > Alias database.


Figure 24

Accessing the Alias database

This window is displayed, listing the aliases databases in the Techlog folder. The actions you can take include: Validate and save modifications Add an alias from the selected level – User, Project or Company Delete an alias from the selected level – User, Project or Company Increase or decrease the priority of a variable

LogView

LogView

LogView is a useful tool that allows you to display any variable present in the Project browser. The actions available in LogView are classified by the type of action, and the actions available in the dynamic toolbar depend on the object you select. The fixed toolbar and mouse mode do not change.

Learning Objectives After completing this module, you will know how to: •

configure the appearance of LogView

•

create core image displays

•

build zonations

•

create plots in track

•

save and apply a layout.

LogView Appearance


Lesson 1

Variable filling and shading

Insert a color filling between a variable and its right or left limit; insert shading between the two curves.

Baseline

Modify track appearance.

These properties can be modified simultaneously: Color, Font, Type, Thickness, Connection, Marker (type and size), Scale, and Type of Limits (Mnemonic, User, Variable)


Adjust the zoom factor, display or do not display zones, modify the color of the track background and its width, insert a track name in the header, adjust the number of vertical lines, select the color and thickness of vertical lines and their scale (linear or logarithmic). Grid increment modification

As many as three grids can be displayed in a track: the main reference grid, a secondary grid, and a tertiary grid. Each has a user-defined increment, which allows you to capture a greater or lesser amount of detail from the variables displayed.

68

Save layout and layout properties

A LogView layout and its properties can be saved and retrieved at a later date. Saved layouts are saved in the Project Browser under Layouts.

Apply layout and properties to other datasets/wells

When a LogView is set up for a particular well, its layout can be used as a model to display other wells. The subsequent wells display the same variables, all of which create a display using the same settings as those of the original layout.



Lesson 2

LogView

Core Image Display

Core images can be displayed in LogView in the same way as any other log. To optimize the display, change the zoom factor in the Properties window of the Core Image track.

Lesson 3

Zonations

Zonations allow you to insert and use zonation tracks in a layout. To access this feature, go to the layout and select Insert > Zonation track. If there are several wells in the layout, insert a zonation track for each well by selecting Insert > Zonation track for each well. By default, a zonation track displays selected zones of the current zonation set used for the layout. The zonation track is updated when you change selected zones or the zonation set. The zonation track also can display other zonation sets in the database.


Select a zonation track, use the Properties window to toggle the property Current Zones to No, and choose a zonation set in the Zonation dataset list. Alternatively, choose a zonation from the drop-down menu in the Zonation dock window and toggle ON the zones to display.

Lesson 4

LogView

Plots in Track

Plots in Track displays three types of variables: •

a variable in a track over a zone interval

•

a user-defined fixed depth interval

•

a user-defined variable depth interval.

To insert a plot, highlight a variable, right-click and select Insert > Plots. Figure 33 shows LogView displaying Neutron and Density variables in the first track, VShale in the second track, and a Neutron-Density crossplot and VShale histogram in the third track.


Figure 33

LogView variables and histogram

Plot Groups Inserting plots on a depth interval or plots per zone creates a plot group, allowing you to apply global properties to all plots within the group. A group is locked by default, but you can unlock the group in the Properties window. To unlock the group, toggle Freeze to No.


71

LogView


In a locked group, the display properties are global for all displayed plots from one group. In an unlocked group, the display properties of each plot can be set individually. A group can be copied and pasted into a plot track, moved to a plot track, or removed from a track. For plot per zone and plot by depth interval, the plotted top and the bottom depths are different from the top and bottom of the plot itself.


You can modify the display limits in the Properties window to produce a correct display independently of the area delimited by the plot. Figure 34 shows an example of a corrected plot.

Figure 34

Grouped plots

The plot can be moved and stretched in this interval without changing the data. This option is activated automatically when adding plots on a large interval; deactivate it by selecting the plot or plot group.

Lesson 5

Save and Apply a Layout

After setting a layout for a well, saving the layout and applying it to other layouts is a simple process. In the Layout window, select Save > Save as layout, and the layout is saved to the Project browser under Layouts. A layout can be retrieved at a later time in the project. You can apply it to datasets or wells in the same layout, or you can apply it to individual layouts. 1. Select Layout > Other wells (in the same layout)…. 2. Choose the wells to which the layout applies. 3.

Add wells to the same layout.

Optionally, you can save the plot as a template by selecting Save > Save as template. The template also is saved in the Project browser under Templates. To apply a template to other wells or datasets: [Procedure] 1. Double-click a template in the Project browser. Schlumberger Private

2. Set either Well template or a Dataset template. As a Well template, the template applies to multiple datasets in a single well. A Dataset template applies to a single dataset in multiple wells. 3. Choose the datasets or wells to which the template applies. The difference between a layout and a template is that a template saves only the content of a layout, whereas a layout saves the complete display (Figure 36).

Cross-plot

The Cross-plot tool allows you to compare multiple measurements made at a single reference over a 2D plot. In Techlog, the Cross-plot tool can incorporate as many as five dimensions or variables in a single window, along with filters, charts, secondary variables, user-defined regressions, and equations. The crossplot is linked to all other plots in your Techlog workspace, which means that any point selection you make over the plot will be interactively displayed in other plots.

Learning Objectives After completing this module, you will know how to: configure the appearance of a crossplot

•

manipulate the plot from tabs in the interface

•

use the Cross-plot tools for selection

•

Lesson 2

Cross-plot Tabs

There are three primary tabs in the Cross-plot interface that help you display the crossplot: Variables, Filter, and Charts.

Variables Tab In the Variables tab, you place curves to be displayed – X axis, Y axis, Color code, Label and Point size.

Filter Tab The Filter tab allows you to refine the display using a different variable. Most commonly, this is a qualitative variable. For example, you may wish to display data points filtering on facies, fluid code, or any classification group. In this example, you choose which facies, or which combination of facies, to display for a more detailed analysis of the data. In this lesson, you will see how to combine the filter with other tools to provide the most accurate data analysis possible.

Module 7

Zonation

Zonation

A zonation is a specific dataset that stores your zones of interest as intervals. In the Project browser, these datasets are displayed with the icon (Figure 46) and are defined with the Dataset type Interval.

Figure 46

Zonation dataset

Learning Objectives


After completing this module, you will know how to create and edit zones using the Zone editor, the Graphical zone editor and other graphical tools in LogView.

Overview Each zonation is defined by a reference curve and at least one curve defined with the family Zone Name (). Other information, such as zone description, Hydraulic zones, Fault block, Zones parameters, and more can be present in the dataset. Each zone is defined with a top and a bottom.

Figure 47

Zonation definition

In Figure 47, the zone name at depth 7494 is defined by a missing value. As a result, ZoneC and ZoneE are not contiguous, and there is a gap between depths 7494 and 7907. By comparison, there is no gap between ZoneB and the ZoneC, because the bottom of ZoneB is the top of ZoneC.


97

Zonation


To use a zonation: 1. Choose the zonation in the drop-down list in the Zonation window.

2. Choose the zones to use.


There are three ways you can create a zonation in Techlog: •

the Zone editor

•

the Graphical zone editor

•

graphical tools present in the layout.

Lesson 1

Zone Editor

The Zone editor allows you to easily create and edit zonation datasets. Zone settings, such as color and comment, also are accessible and editable using this tool. The Zone editor view is based on a tree representation of the zonation (Figure 48).

Figure 48

98

Zone editor showing the top and bottom for each zone and well



Zonation

Each node represents a zone. The wells display in each column, and the zone top or bottom depths display in rows. Each cell displays the depth value at the top and bottom of a zone for a particular well. An empty or missing value in a cell means that no value is defined for the cell. TIP:

The order in which the wells are displayed can be changed by dragging and dropping the well names into the Zone editor header. You also can rearrange the order of the zones, using either drag-and-drop or the shortcut keys Ctrl + up-arrow or Ctrl + down-arrow.

To launch the editor, select Techdata > Zone editor > Zone editor.

Figure 49

Launching the Zone editor Schlumberger Private

To load data in the Zone editor: 1. Drag-and-drop wells into the Zone editor window. 2. Choose a zonation in the Zonation dock window. 3. Toggle ON the zones to edit. After the data loads, doubleclick on a cell to edit it. When a zone is selected, the lower part of the window updates to show the zone color and description. Assign a random color to a zone color by clicking auto, or choose a color by clicking the colored square to the left of the text field. Modify the description of the zone in the text field. All of your changes are recorded when you save the zonation.

Figure 50

Assign a random color to a zone


99

Zonation


To add a zone: 1. Click Add zone

.

2. In the Zonation window, type the name of the new zone. If an item was selected previously, the new zone will be listed after the selected item; otherwise, it will be inserted at the bottom. NOTE:

A deleted zone will be ignored, while a hidden zone (unselected in the dock window) will be taken into account when you set values for the zones or save the zonation.

A well can be removed from the editor using the top header context menu. Schlumberger Private

After all changes are complete, save the zonation by clicking on Save . The zonation dataset is saved in every well present in the editor. NOTE:

When a zonation is saved, if the top of a zone is empty or contains a null value, the zone is skipped. If the bottom of a zone is empty or contains a null value, the top is saved and the bottom is considered to be the top of the next zone.

Miscellaneous Options There are many additional options available in the Zone editor: Unit

Define the unit in which to display values.

Reference

Choose the type of reference with which to work. All the wells present must have the data needed to use the selected type of reference.

100

Zonation Name

Enter the name of the zonation.

Background zone color

Display the zone color as background color for the item.

Values precision

Set the precision with which the values are displayed.

Values format

Change the way numbers are represented.



Update the editor after zone selection

Zonation

Set whether the editor should be updated or not when the selection is changed in the Zonation window and the editor is not the active window. This option is useful when using zones in a log view and editing at the same time.

Use maximal precision when saving

Save values with the maximum precision available or with the currently displayed precision.

Save with the original reference

If this option is set to True, each zonation dataset is saved using a reference identical in type to the original one (if the dataset was already present). If this is set to False, zonation datasets are saved using the current reference type.

TIP:

Use Ctrl + A to expand/collapse all items.

•

automatically create a depth shifting window

•

depth shift a variable

•

depth shift a dataset.

Lesson 1

Manual Depth Shifting


Depth shifting of several curves or an entire dataset can be required to correct a tool string shift. This results in a curve being shifted up or down. This lesson shows you how to manually shift a curve or a dataset.

Creating a Depth Shifting Window Several procedures can be applied to depth shift a curve. This procedure shows how to graphically depth shift a variable from a layout. To create a depth shifting window: 1. Choose two logs: a reference log and a log to shift. 2. Drag-and-drop the two curves in an empty layout. 3. Select the two curves. 4. In the Open drop-down list, choose the Open a depth shifting window option. A layout is automatically generated, as shown in the figure that follows. •

The first track displays the log-to-depth shift.

NOTE:

In this track, the curve cannot be modified.

•

The second track displays the reference log.

•

The third track displays the log to depth shift. It is only in this track that the curve can be depth shifted.

•

The last track also displays the log to depth curve but, this time, with the reference log to help you accurately depth match the curve.


139


Depth Shifting


Depth Shifting a Log To activate depth shifting: 1. Hold down the Shift key and left-click in one of the two first tracks. 2. At each click, a red anchor bar appears. Position the cursor on one of the bars at the Log level. 3. Shift the log by moving the cursor up and down, while holding down the left mouse button.

Important Notes

140

•

When only one anchor bar is present, the depth shifting is equivalent to a block shift, as the curve is displaced in one block.

•

When two or more anchor bars are present, the depth shifting is equivalent to stretching, as one of the bars locks the curve.

•

The depth shifted curve automatically takes the name of the curve with the suffix _sft.

•

To remove an anchor bar, click on it and press the Delete key.

•

It is possible to zoom in or zoom out at any time during the operation.



Depth Shifting

Saving the Depth Shift After you are satisfied with a depth shift, you can save the curve and save the applied depth shifting. To save the curve: 1. Click on the curve. 2. In the Save drop-down list, choose The variable.... To save the depth shifting, choose The depth shifting table... in the Save drop-down list. A window opens when you enter a name for this depth shifting. The name you enter is applied to a set in which all characteristics of the depth shifting are saved.

Applying a Depth Shifting This function allows you to apply a saved depth shift table to a variable or a reference. To apply a depth shifting: Schlumberger Private

1. In the Project browser, choose a curve to shift. 2. Using the contextual menu, apply the depth shift to either a variable or the reference of the dataset. •

If applied to the variable, only the variable will be depth shifted according to the applied table.

•

If applied to the reference: the entire dataset will be depth shifted according to the applied table.

TIP:

Depth shifting is automatically applied to all the curves you have selected.

Refer to the figure on the following page.


141



Depth Shifting

Special Feature – Block Shifting It is possible to block shift any curve: 1. Select the curve. 2. Hold down the Ctrl key while using the top and bottom arrows on the keyboard. WARNING:

The shifted curve is not automatically saved.

3. Right-click on the curve and choose the Save option.

Horizontal Shifting It is possible to laterally shift, for example, a log to match two curves before splicing them. To apply a horizontal shift to a curve: 1. Hold down Ctrl + Alt and click on the curve. 2. Move the cursor from left to right, or from right to left.

142



Lesson 2

Depth Shifting

Automatic Depth Shifting

This option automatically computes the depth shift between two logs and displays the computed shift bars in a depth-shift layout. You can adjust or remove the computed shift bars, as desired.

General Workflow for Automatic Depth Shifting Drag two variables (log curves) into a multi-well layout. The variable can be from the same dataset, or from different datasets within the same well. To automatically depth shift: 1. Choose two curves and open the Depth Shifting window. 2. From the Open drop-down list, choose Open the depth shift window. 3. In the Edit drop-down list, choose Automatic definition of the depth shift table. This action calculates and displays the depth bars between the curves. Schlumberger Private

Automatically apply

Automatically launches the depth-shift procedure when properties are modified.

Correlation cutoff

When the correlation coefficient between two sequences is below this value, the sequences will be ignored in the depth shift.

Smoothing windows

The automatic depth shift makes two passes:

Window size

Length of the correlation sequence, specifically, the number of depth positions.

Shift size

Designated shift above and below the sequence.

Correlation type

Selects the correlation type from the drop-down list: Correlation, anti-correlation, or both.

Outliers cutoff

Increases or decreases the number of shifted depth positions. Smoothes the signal by reducing noise.

First, a low-resolution pass using a large window size (Smooth Window 1). Next, a high-resolution pass using a small window size (Smooth pass 2).



Remove outliers shift

Eliminates noise resulting in a smoother signal.

Shift outliers threshold

Eliminates noise resulting in a smoother signal.

WARNING:

Depth Shifting

The shifted curve is not automatically saved. To save it, right-click on the curve and choose the Save option.

The splice table automatically fills with default values. Techlog creates a table with one line for each output variable and four columns for each input curve: Position

Merging priority

Dataset.variable

Name of the dataset concatenated with the name of the variable.


155



Top

Depth used as the top of the interval of interest for this variable. The value entered cannot be above the top of the dataset.

Bottom

Depth used as the bottom of the interval of interest for this variable. The value entered cannot be below the bottom of the dataset.


Each line provides one output per variable with the same name, family and alias, according to the group type. Modify the group type in the VST Properties window.

window. Then click Apply. •

The Apply mode can be set to Display, Save, or Save and Display.

•

Variables can be grouped by variables, family or alias name.

•

The Splice overlap controls the method that combines the curves – either position or mean. If gaps exist, they are filled by Iinear interpolation, missing values, a constant, or a top or bottom value.

Results can be output to a new dataset with a specified name, or you can overwrite an existing dataset. You can assign a suffix and set controls on the sampling rate and reference unit.


Figure 75

The Properties window

Click the Apply icon in the log view, or click the Apply button in the lower right corner of the workflow. Then modify the limits of each log and control the output in the resulting log. The group of tracks on the left corresponds to a line in the table. One track is created per variable to be spliced. The last track on the right shows the result of the splice. Refer to Figure 76.

Exercise 1

Creating a Dataset

In Well4, use VST to create a dataset containing all the data coming from RUN1, RUN2, RUN3 and RUN4. To create a dataset: 1. From Techdata, open the VST window and drag-and-drop all RUN* datasets from Well4. 2. In the Properties window, set Type to variables to group variables by variable name and click Apply. A layout displays for each variable with four input tracks and one output track. Notice that between RUN1 and RUN2 there is no gap or overlap, but between the RUN2 and RUN3 there is an overlap. The priority is given to RUN2.

158




Note that a gap exists between RUN3 and RUN4.


3. In the Properties window, choose an appropriate method to fill the gap and click Apply. 4. Set the Apply mode to Save and click Apply. 5. A new merged dataset is created. Notice that the point data variable cannot be spliced. 6. To keep core porosity in the final dataset, in the Project browser drag-and-drop C_PHI data from RUN2 to Merged_Set. The Resampling tool opens automatically because each dataset is defined by the reference depth, top and bottom depths, and sample rate. When moving a variable from one dataset to another, all the data must conform to the new dataset. More information can be found in the Help manual (F1). 7. Click Apply and the point variable will be placed into the final dataset.

Project Data Management


Project Data Management is a collection of tools that help you manage and perform quality control on data.

Prerequisites To successfully complete the lesson and exercises in the module, you must import the following XML files into the project: •

Well1_Harmonization_Exercise.xml

•


•


•


Learning Objectives Schlumberger Private

After completing this module, you will know how to: •

identify inconsistent units and families in the data using the quick data mining tools in Techlog

•

use the Data Harmonization tools to rename variables and families, and assign and convert units.

Lesson 1

Project Browser Optimization

The Inventory tools list all the variables present in the Project browser (Figure 77). To refine the inventory and focus on only the data corresponding to this exercise, create a filter on the datasets named Harmonization_Exercise. To create a filter: 1. Select the dataset Harmonization_Exercise in Well1. 2. Right-click and select Create a filter. OR Press Ctrl + J.

Lesson 2


Issues in the Datasets

Several tools are available that help you identify and correct problems in the data.

The Project Browser The Project browser (Figure 78) can be used to quickly identify variables with missing units and families. •

Variables written in black have a unit and a family assigned to them.

•

Variables written in gray are missing a unit or a family.

•

Variables written in red are missing a unit and a family.

•

Families written in red are not defined in the family database.

The Project browser, however, will not allow you to identify inconsistent units or families. Also, it is not effective when working on a large number of wells or datasets.

Inventory Tools


Open the Inventory tools by selecting Techdata > Quick data mining.

Figure 79

The Inventory tools

Variables Inventory To read the variables inventory, choose Variables inventory to display an inventory. There is one line for each variable name. The first variable name CALI, with these properties:

164

•

Is present in the four datasets (Count into the datasets=4)

•

Is present in the four wells (Count into the wells=4 and Wells were present = All)

•

The minimum value for CALI (within all the wells) is 8.163 in

•

The maximum value for CALI (within all the wells) is 15.651 in

•

All the variables CALI have the same unit (Count unit=1)

•

All the variables CALI have the same family, Caliper (Count family=1 & Family=Caliper)




The Variables inventory is an efficient tool for identifying non-homogenous names, inconsistent units, and more. The goal is to make sure that each variable: •

is present with the same name in 100 % of the wells

•

has a minimum and maximum value consistent with its unit

•

has one known unit (Count Unit =1 )

•

has one family assigned (Count Family = 1).

Other inventories allow you to focus directly on the items mentioned.

Other Lists and Inventories Other lists and inventories are available that allow you to quickly identify issues such as: •

missing units - variable without unit inventory

•

missing families - variables without families inventory

•

inconsistent families - families not present in the families database inventory.

Figure 80


To add lists and inventories as tabs in the Quick data mining window, go to the Properties window and toggle ON the relevant lists and inventories.



165



For example, Variables without unit inventory can show a unit issue that you could not easily see in the variable inventory display – variable CKH.

Figure 81

Variables without unit inventory display

Variable CKH in well Well2 has no unit (Count Unknown unit =1 and Wells where present=Well2).

Exercise 1

Identifying Issues in a Dataset


Using the various lists and variables available in Techlog, identify the units, families and erroneous values present in the dataset named Harmonization_Exercise. These issues will be fixed in Exercise 2. To identify issues in the data: 1. Create a filter on the dataset Harmonization_Exercise in the Project browser. 2. Open the variables inventories from the Techdata menu. 3. Open the Variables without unit inventory as a tab in the Quick data mining window. 4. Open the Variables without families inventory as a tab in the Quick data mining window. 5. In the Variables without unit inventory, notice that: •

The variable CKH in well2 is missing a unit. The unit should be mD.

•

The variable RHOB_DH_ADN_RT is missing a unit. The unit should be g/cc.

•

The variables RT and RW have an unknown unit. The unit should be ohm.m.

•

The variable TNPH_ADN_RT is missing a unit. The unit should be v/v.

6. In the Variables without family inventory, notice that:

166

•

MDepth is missing a family. The family should be Measured Depth.

•

RHOB_DH_ADN_RT has an unknown family. The family should be Bulk Density.




7. In the Variables inventory, notice that: The name for the gamma ray variables is not harmonized. In Well1, the gamma ray is named GR_CDR_RAW_RT_backup, while the gamma ray variables are named GR_CDR_RAW_RT in the other wells.

•

The gamma ray variables have three units - gAPI, gapi, and µR/h.

•

The variables in CPOR do not all have the same family. Some have the family Core Porosity, while others are assigned the family Fast Shear Uncertainty. The second family has not been correctly assigned, and should be set to Core Porosity.

•

The variable HAFWL has two units - m and ft. All units should be harmonized to ft.

•

According to naming conventions, the variable MDepth should be renamed MD.

•

The family should be Measured Depth.

•

The unit of the variable MDepth is not consistent with the values of the variable (>8,000 m, while the TVDSS is below 8,200 ft). The unit should be set to ft.

•

The variable VSH has values inconsistent with its unit. The unit is v/v, meaning that the values should range between 0 and 1. The erroneous values must be clipped.

Lesson 3


•

Data Harmonization

You can perform the harmonization of data - renaming, assigning and converting units, assigning families, and more - in three ways: •

sequentially solving one problem after the other using the Project browser

•

automatically using the Inventory tools

•

using Data Harmonization tools.

Data Harmonization using the Project Browser In the Properties window (Figure 82), you can manually change properties such as the unit or the family of a variable. Many of the properties have drop-down menus from which to choose, while others require that you enter a value or term.

The harmonization tools offer these capabilities: Query rename tool

Rename any object or property within your project. Example: A wrong unit is assigned to a variable. The values are supposed to be displayed in percentage but, instead, are displayed in a v/v unit. Rename the unit v/v to %.

Query convert tool

Convert any unit. Example: CALI variables are supposed to be displayed as in but, instead, are displayed as cm. You can convert the variables CALI from cm to in to have harmonized units.

Query delete tool

Delete any object or property. Example: Some variables must be deleted from all the wells.


169



Query duplicate tool

Duplicate any object or property.

Query list tool

List any object or property.

Example: Create a backup of your variables before processing them.

Example: Create a list of all the variables in the project named DT. Query data tool

Replace or remove numeric values for any curve. Example: Some values of the variables are erroneous (negative porosity, and so forth, and must be removed.

A series of short scenarios follow that show you the primary ways in which selected tools can be used.

The Query Rename Tool Scenario: Rename the variable MDepth to MD. Schlumberger Private

All variables named MDepth in the dataset Harmonization_Exercise will be renamed to MD. BEST PRACTICE:
