Chapter
Data Management
This chapter provides the proper procedures for labeling
floppy disks and backing up data to ensure software
compatibility and consistent management of data collected.
Labeling Floppy Disks

It is required that all data disks returning from a job be properly labeled as
either Job Data, Raw/Edit Data, EP-1, D-Map, or Text. Every disk
should have the job number, company, OCS-G/well number, location, and
rig. In addition, every data disk should have beginning and ending depths
as well as beginning and ending date and time. Avoid complicated
numbering schemes for your data disks in the event you do a lot of reaming
or change from one service type to another (such as going from RGD to
DPR).
When labeling your disks, use a pen with quick-drying ink. Allow the ink
to dry before handling the disk or label (this will avoid smearing the ink
and leaving the disk label illegible, which seems to be a common
occurrence). Also avoid using a large broad tip marker (Marks-a-Lot) to
label run numbers. Use a fine to medium tip marker instead.
Data Back Up
The number of MS-DOS utility packages available to the personal
computer user are rapidly increasing. Many of these packages have
redundant capabilities such as data back up and data compression. As a
personal computer user, you may have your own special utility package
that you prefer to use. However, it is extremely important that you leave
your package at home and use the utility packages provided in the HPUTIL
main menu. This ensures upward and downward software compatibility in

every release of Teleco's surface software products. This also permits easy
data manipulation for any data collected.
MWD Services
M-SERIES Systems
After all final logs are generated, back up all replay files to high density
floppy disks. If the replay file (binary file) is relatively small (i.e., less than
1.1 megabytes), then copy the files directly to disk. If the file is larger, you
need to back up the data using the Fastback Utilities program available
from the HPUTIL main menu. The Fastback version used has been
upgraded to version 2.10. This version will read earlier versions of
Fastback disks, but the disks created by 2.10 cannot be read by earlier
versions of Fastback. If you are unfamiliar with using this utilities
program, contact your supervisor for guidance. It is important to note that
during the job, you should always retain a copy of the original unedited
raw data.
The files that are required for back up are as follows:
binary.* (this includes binary.fil, .idx, .uni, .apd)
*.cfg (header information), use this with HPUTIL Rev. 2.1 or

greater
setup.fil (Mplot/Wplot formats...formally newplot.fil)
log.fil (Makelog/Head/Minihead formats)
tvddata.fil
newplot.fil (use with HPUTIL versions earlier than Rev. 2.1)
header.fil (use with HPUTIL versions earlier than Rev. 2.1)
comment.fil
mserdb.133 (M-SERIES ASCII definition file)
P-SERIES Systems
All data is periodically backed up automatically to magnetic tape. Provide
all job information and run numbers on each tape. If MPLOT in HPUTIL is
used for plotting logs, a P-SERIES.Xfer file must be transferred into the
HPUTIL directory so a binary file can be generated. In this case, back up
the appropriate files as you would for an MWD M-SERIES system (see the
preceding section). At the job's completion, you should have a set of disks
with the binary.fil data and a set of P-SERIES magnetic cassette tapes.

Data Management
RWD Services
M-SERIES Systems
In an effort to reduce the voluminous number of disks and different types
of data disks returning from RWD jobs (i.e., xfer.fil, Getdata, raw memory,
M-SERIES real-time data, etc.), please follow the recommended procedure
for collection and storage of RWD data. The procedures also help conserve
memory on the hard disk.
There are four types of data disks that need to be saved during the course of
a downhole memory job when using an M-SERIES system. These are the
M-SERIES real-time data disks, raw memory dump data disks, and
Getdata and GetXfer data disks. All disks should be labeled with the job
number, company, OCS-G number and well number, rig, and depth in and
out and volume number, regardless of the type of disk label used. This
becomes increasingly important when several sidetracks are drilled from
the same job.
M-SERIES Disks
Using a standard floppy disk label, make sure every disk is fully labeled,
including time/date and depth in and out. Also, be sure to label the
M-SERIES software revision number in the upper left-hand side of the
label and the disk number in the upper right-hand side.
Raw Memory Dump Disks
Standard (generic) disk labels can be used for these disks. You should back
up memory dump data after each dump (run). Each memory dump needs to
be stored on a separate set of disks. Label these as Mem Dump 1, Mem
Dump 2, etc. Besides the information recommended above (i.e., job
number, company, OCS-G number and well number, rig, and depth in and
out), include any time offsets that were used for processing and the MDMS
revision number in the upper left-hand corner of the disk label.
GetXfer Disks
Use a standard (generic) disk label for these disks. Label these disks as
GetXfer, volume (example: GetXfer, vol. 1 of 1). The directory for
GetXfer is automatically named GetXfer. The volume label is a
reference to the disk number and total number of disks used when the
GetXfer file is backed up to floppy disk using the Fastback Utilities
program. Make sure to provide all other pertinent well information on the
disk label that is required on the other disks.
The GetXfer executable is accessed in the HPUTIL main menu. This
routine allows us to store the Xfer file selectively. When GetXfer is

Data Management
performed, a directory in the D:\ drive is created. The Xfer.fil is then

compressed using PKARC and then copied into the Xfer directory. The
engineer is required to perform a GetXfer at the completion of each run
(i.e., memory dump) after all the memory data for that run has been
processed.
Perform GetXfer on the D:\ drive. When performing the GetXfer program,
name each run as Xfer1.ARC, Xfer2.ARC, Xfer3.ARC (Xfer file from
run 1,2,3, etc.). Relog sections should be listed as Xrl1.ARC, Xrl2.ARC,
Xrl3.ARC (for Xfer file from relog 1,2,3, etc.). After a GetXfer is
performed, back up the GetXfer directory onto floppy disks using the
Fastback Utilities program (see Proper Sequence for Executing a GetXfer
and Getdata on page 1-7).
After the Xfer file has been backed up on the D:\ drive using the GetXfer
utility program, delete the Xfer file from the C:\ drive. This is done to
avoid duplication of data storage (i.e., storing the Xfer file on both the
GetXfer and Getdata directories and data disks).
Getdata Disks
Use a standard (generic) disk label for these disks. Label these disks as
Getdata, directory (job number), volume, (example: Getdata \3250,
Vol. 2 of 2). Always use the job number as the directory name. Make sure
to provide all other pertinent well information on the disk label, which is
required on the other data disk types. Getdata backs up any file in the
HPUTIL directory that has a .fil or .cgf extension. The Getdata routine
is accessed through the HPUTIL main menu. A Getdata should be
performed at the end of each run. If you are on a job that uses both RGD
and DPR tools, make sure the binary files for each tool type are merged or
appended together prior to data back up. It is important to note that a
Getdata should not be performed until a GetXfer has been executed and the
Xfer file is subsequently deleted from the C:\ drive. After the Xfer file has
been deleted from the C:\ drive, run Squeeze and Quicken, which will
significantly reduce the size of your binary file. You are now ready to
execute a Getdata (see Proper Sequence for Executing a GetXfer and
Getdata on page 1-7).
Perform all of your Getdata on the D:\ drive. When Getdata is performed,
store and label each run as Run1.ARC, Run2.ARC, Run3.ARC, etc. Run
numbers should correspond to the correct bit run on the log header. After
the Getdata has been executed, back up the Getdata to floppy disk using the
Fastback Utilities program. It is imperative that a Getdata be performed at
the completion of the last run, which includes the appended binary file for
the entire job.
If changes are made to the database (e.g., comment.fil, *.cfg, etc.) after a
Getdata was performed, another Getdata should be executed and backed up

to disk to update the database. The idea is, in the event that logs have to be
remade at a later date by either the engineer from the job or staff personnel,
all of the information is readily available and will not have to be updated or
recreated.
P-SERIES Systems
At the operator's option, all data is periodically backed up automatically to
magnetic tape at a user selected time interval (every 30 minutes is
recommended). Provide all job information and run numbers on each tape.
If MPLOT in HPUTIL is used for plotting logs, a P-SERIES Xfer file must
be copied into the HPUTIL directory so a binary file can be generated. In
this case, back up the appropriate files to disk using the Getdata routine in
HPUTIL (see the preceding section). At the job's completion, you should
have a set of Getdata disks and P-SERIES magnetic cassette tapes for the
entire job.
Additional Data Management

Squeeze
Squeeze is a program that is accessed through the HPUTIL main menu and
is designed to compress the binary.fil in HPUTIL. The compression is done
by discarding all deleted records, removing all backplotted records, and
averaging the data to a resolution of 0.25 feet (0.10 meters). In addition, the
resistivity values are recomputed from conductivity to provide a more
precise approximation than just averaging the resistivities. After Squeeze is
finished processing, the data in the binary.fil is replaced in an ordered
structure. The surface records are listed first, then directional, temperature,
memory data, etc. This ordering however, poses some problems for the
editor in MPLOT UTILITIES (DMD editor), such as time and depth
searches. Therefore, use MEDIT to edit any squeezed files. There is also a
Squeeze executable for XFER files in the HPUTIL main menu. Its
functionality is identical to the Squeeze used for binary files.
Quicken
Quicken is also accessed from the HPUTIL main menu and is designed to
speed up the searching routine for data when using MPLOT or MEDIT. It
accomplishes this by creating a table of indices for each 100 feet of log.
These indices allow MPLOT or MEDIT to jump to a point within 100 feet
of the start depth of the log (or in the case of MEDIT, within 100 feet of the
depth you are searching for), thus making it a lot quicker for searching.
Quicken should be run after any program that modifies the binary.fil. This
would include appending to a binary.fil, or executing ADDTVD,
ADDTSD, and/or Squeeze.

WTOB.EXE
This is a new program that copies a curve from a WDF file and either
converts it to a binary.fil or writes it to a pre-existing binary file.

This program imports an ASCII file into MPLOT. It is similar to the
MARC I ASCII file import.
HTFX.EXE
This program creates line commands for the sliding indicator (see
Comment Files on page 2-11).
MEDIT
MEDIT is an editor for the binary.fil that has been compiled for use in the
HPUTIL main menu. MEDIT is used to view/edit the binary.fil in the
HPUTIL directory. Use the Up/Down arrow keys and the PgUp/PgDn keys
to highlight the record type you wish to edit. Press [ENTER] to select a
particular record type. Use the [F2] key for the Depth Search option. All
changes to a file are permanent as soon as you change to another page or
exit. If you do not leave the page, press [F1] to abort the edit and the
original contents of the page will be restored. Always use MEDIT on a
squeezed file. This will greatly reduce the search time when doing a depth
search.
Future Additions
Future additions include the ability to convert binary files to TIF (Tape
Image Files). This can be used to transmit data via fax or for rapid plotting
of multiple log copies (MPLOT/WPLOT ver. 3.1).

Chapter
Log Preparation
This chapter provides specific instructions on generating
various logs for original holes and sidetracks.
Recommendations for plotting traces and scales and
generating log annotations and comments are explained in
detail.
Note: Since depth scales for logs vary greatly between districts,
it would be difficult to include all of these each time the
subject of depth scales is referred to within this
document. However, for any area, logs are generally
presented with two depth scales that can be loosely
defined as 1) correlation log scales and 2) quantitative
log scales.
Correlation logs are typically plotted with smaller depth
scales such as 1:600, 1:1200 English or 1:1000 metric.
Quantitative logs are plotted with larger scales for
quantitative analysis; typical scales are 1:240 English or
1:200 metric. All depth scales referred to beyond this
point in this document are referenced as either
correlation or quantitative log scales.
Regardless of customer requests on location, it is required that both 1- or 2and 5-inch Measured Depth and True Vertical Depth Field and Final logs
be generated at the end of a job. True Vertical Depth logs should be
omitted if a vertical hole was logged. Two copies of field prints should be
left on location.
When generating logs from the HPUTIL main menu, it is recommended to
use the Make Log utility program. This utility permits the logging engineer
to configure the header layout, log formats, and the configurations
(annotations, trace labels, casing labels, etc.) from one screen. These

Log Preparation
configurations can be stored for later use. The major advantage to this
feature is headers can be individually matched to logs and comment files.
Once your configuration is set up and plotting is invoked, both header and
log are plotted sequentially.
Original Holes and Sidetracks

Engineers should treat original holes and sidetracks as separate wells. This
means that the engineer should generate final logs and directional surveys
for the original well, which should be completed and turned in before the
start of the sidetrack. This data is finalized and sent to the customer. This is
necessary because the client typically uses this data to plan the sidetrack
wells.
If the engineers remain on location, they should make every attempt to
generate final logs for the original hole and back up to floppy disk (or tape
for P-SERIES) all appropriate data, including directional surveys, and send
everything to the office. Only one End of Well Report, which summarizes
the activities from both the original and sidetrack well, is necessary and
should be turned in at the completion of the last sidetrack well.
Each sidetrack should have a separate header for that particular sidetrack.
The first Eastman Teleco run number (in the Bit Run Summary) for each
sidetrack header should succeed the last Eastman Teleco run number on the
original hole or the sidetrack before that, unless the sidetrack well is
considered as a new well by the operator. A new well status is usually
applied if the bottom-hole location of the sidetrack well falls in another
block.
When making final logs for the sidetrack well, the beginning of the log
should correspond with the beginning of the sidetrack. Do not make a
composite log that includes any portion of the original hole above the
sidetrack unless specifically requested by the customer.
If you are requested to make composite logs, make sure to include a remark
in the Remarks page indicating that the bit run information for the portion
of log above the sidetrack can be found on the headers for the original log.
Traces/Scales
Trace Coding
The objective of using different line types is to distinguish between
different types of measurements plotted together in the same track (i.e.,
phase difference/attenuation resistivities, neutron porosity/formation
density, or conductivity/weight on bit, etc.). Therefore, unless you are
2-2
Baker Hughes INTEQ

750-500-041 Rev. A / January 1996
Log Preparation
plotting more than one parameter together in any one track, all primary
trace curves should be represented by solid lines only. The only exception
to this is the back up scale for conductivity (see conductivity scale in RGD/
DPR log formats) Both short normal curves in track 2 on the correlation
log format are plotted as solid lines. However, if you are plotting apparent
resistivities with corrected resistivities, the corrected resistivity should be
coded with a medium dashed line.
Pen-up Intervals
Pen-up intervals should not exceed 10 feet (3 meters). The only exception
to this is when plotting TVD for a horizontal well or tool temperature
(TCDX, TCDM). There is no reason to use a pen-up interval greater than
10 feet (3 meters), regardless of data density. You are strongly discouraged
from doing so. Any data gaps and the reasons for their occurrence should
be documented in the Remarks page of the Log Header (see Main Header,
Remarks on page 3-10). Pen-up intervals are referred to as Interpolation
Limits in 1.3x M-SERIES software.
Recommendations for Scales

Use standard scales for traces where possible. However, when secondary
traces continuously interfere with the primary trace or curve, scale
adjustments may be necessary. When it does become necessary to change
scales, always contact the geologist and/or engineer in the office who is
watching the well and request preferred scales and formats. Always
perform a scale change on secondary curves before primary curves. If scale
changes are made to both secondary and primary curves and interference
still exists, it may be necessary to move the secondary curve to another
track or remove it from the log. Once again, consult the client for the
preferred location of traces.
Rate of Penetration
The rate of penetration is included on all logs unless otherwise requested
by the client. This includes morning and afternoon field logs as well. Rate
of penetration is plotted on a linear grid but variable scale. It is typically
presented with Gamma Ray in track 1 or with Conductivity or Weight
on Bit in track 3. The scale should always begin with 0 on the right side of
the track with increasing rate of penetration towards the left. This provides
correlation of the sands and shales with Gamma Ray in track 1. The scale
should be set up to allow minimum interference with the primary curve
(gamma ray, conductivity, or weight on bit). This may require a scale of
1000 to 0 ft/hr if the rate of penetration is high. Also explore the Scale
Change option when the rate of penetration decreases or increases (see
page 2-12 and page 2-15).

Log Preparation
It is important to note that when using MPLOT, select 5DSH (for

correlation logs) and 2DSH (for quantitative logs) under the selection line
type. Trace coding and curve averaging are provided automatically. For
example, for 2DSH, a histogram will be plotted as a medium dashed line
with a 2-foot average. This means that no additional averaging or
smoothing should be selected under MPLOT when preparing to plot the
rate of penetration.
Gamma Ray
It is important to set the scale range so that individual divisions on the trace
scale are whole numbers (for example, each division on a scale from 25 to
225 API is equal to 20 units, each division on a scale from 50 to 150 API is
equal to 10 units, etc., as opposed to a scale of 50 to 275 API, where each
division would be equal to 22.5 units). This is an API industry standard
because it simplifies reading the curve.
Your scale should be set up to accommodate recommended divisions of
either 10, 15, 20, or 25 units. Anything beyond 25 is generally too large
because the separation between the sand and shale base line may be too
small for adequate differentiation of lithologies.
The scale should also be arranged so the gamma trace is centered in track 1.
If the curve becomes weighted to one side of the track (i.e., becomes
increasingly sandy or shaly) as you increase in depth, it may be necessary
to perform a scale change (see page 2-12 and page 2-15). If a scale change
does not seem appropriate, pick the scale that works best through the zones
of interest.
When plotting the gamma ray in track 1, you should set up your scaling to
maximize the separation between the shale base line and the sand line.
Ideally, you would shoot for a 4 to 6 division separation. However, when
plotting a secondary trace in the same track as gamma ray, such as rate of
penetration, the above recommendations often cannot be adhered to. The
gamma ray trace must be compressed in order to accommodate the
secondary trace. The following suggestions may be helpful.
1.
Compress the secondary trace (i.e., rate of penetration) scale as

much as possible before compressing the gamma ray.
Remember, MPLOT will do scale changes on the fly for any
trace.
2.
Since a 6 division separation between sand and shale may not be

feasible, shoot for a 4 division separation (anything less than 4
divisions is not recommended). This may require using scales
that we are not accustomed to, but still allow for divisions that
are divisible by whole numbers. For example, with a scale from
30 to 180 or 80 to 230, each division equals 15.
2-4

750-500-041 Rev. A / January 1996
Log Preparation
Note: Note the different smoothing intervals for the gamma ray
MWD API trace on the 1-, 2-, and 5-inch logs. Always
use a smaller smoothing interval for the higher rates of
penetration.
Resistivity
The scale for both correlation and quantitative logs will vary for different
locations. Consult the client for preferred scales and formats. As a
standard, plot apparent resistivities on all logs for RGD services unless
specifically requested by the customer. For the DPR service, plot corrected
phase difference and amplitude ratio resistivities.
In the event that you need to change your resistivity scale due to anomalous
readings that obscure the trace, use the following standards:
For correlation logs, your amplified measurement is always 1/5 the
unamplified scale. For example:
Default scale:
Change scale to:
unamplified = 0.0 to 10.0

amplified = 0.0 to 2.0

Or:
Note: An X10 scale is available (on MPLOT) as a back up
scale. This is typically used for linear resistivity scales
(common in the Western Region) on all correlation logs
for the 0 to 10 scale (see correlation log formats for the
RGD and DPR Services). When the 0 to 10 scale wraps
around (when resistivity exceeds 10 ohm-m) the back-up
scale automatically switches to 0 to 100 scale. The backup trace will begin at the first division beyond the lefthand track edge (this division equals 10 ohm-m).
If the X-10 scale is used, a remark should be provided
that explains that the back-up scale is a X-10 scale.
Although this is a typical format for wireline 1- or 2-inch
logs, it is new to our MWD/RWD logs. A remark will
avoid any confusion for anyone reading the log.
For a quantitative log, the resistivity trace is ordinarily plotted on a two
cycle semi-logarithmic scale. In order to increase the scale, increase from 2
cycles to 4 cycles. This is a standard procedure in the logging industry. For
example:
Reference Manual
750-500-041 Rev. A / January 1996
2-5
Confidential
Log Preparation
Increase from 2 to 4 cycles:
2-cycle = 0.2 - 20.0

4-cycle = 0.2 - 2000.0
A 4-cycle semi-logarithmic format should always occupy both tracks II

and III (this will require you to sacrifice any other traces in track III). This
prevents the scale from becoming too compressed in only one track. To do
this, just set up track II with a 2-cycle semi-log scale from 0.2 to 20.0, and
track III with a 2-cycle semi-log scale from 20.0 to 2000.0.
Note: Make note of the change from +/- wrap to the over option
for the resistivity trace in track 2 for quantitative logs.
This option is now available on MPLOT and should be
used wherever possible.
Conductivity
This trace is plotted commonly in areas characterized by low resistivity
formations such as the Gulf Coast. This scale will also vary for different
locations. It is always plotted on a linear grid, a default scale of which is
typically 4000 to 0000 mmhos. Where space permits (i.e., extra traces are
available for plotting), plot a back-up trace for conductivity (typically this
would be 8000 to 4000 mmhos-meter). This trace is coded as a medium
dashed line. If no space is available for extra traces, use the wrap or backup feature for plotting. In either case, the back-up trace should be annotated
as CSAX back up or CPCM back up on your logs (see Back Up Trace
Labels on page 2-10).
Neutron Porosity
This scale is variable but always on a linear grid. In clastic formations
(sand and shale), the scale is typically 60 to 0 porosity units. In carbonates
(limestones), the scale is 45 to -15 porosity units. On correlation logs, this
trace is plotted in track 3. On quantitative log scales, the trace is either
plotted across tracks 2 and 3, or only in track 3. This trace is plotted as a
solid line in double combo presentations (because it is a primary curve) and
as a medium dashed line for triple combo presentations. Consult the client
for preferred scales and formats.
Bulk Density
This scale is variable, but always on a linear grid. The default scale is 2.0 to
3.0 g/cc (for a limestone matrix). Scales for clastic formations will vary for
each region but a default scale that matches the neutron porosity 60 to 0
porosity units scale is 1.65 to 2.65 g/cc. Bulk density on correlation logs is
typically plotted only in track 3. On quantitative logs, it is typically plotted
across tracks 2 and 3 or only in track 3. This trace is plotted as a solid line.
Consult the client for preferred scales and formats.

Density Porosity
This scale is variable (but always on a linear grid) to match the neutron
porosity scale. In clastics (sands and shales), the scale is 60 to 0 porosity
units. In carbonates (limestones), the scale is 45 to -15 porosity units. On
correlation logs, this trace is plotted in track 3 with neutron porosity. On
quantitative logs, the trace is plotted either across tracks 2 and 3 or only in
track 3 with neutron porosity. This trace is plotted as a solid line. Consult
the client for preferred scales and formats.
Photoelectric Cross Section
The default scale is 0 to 10 barnes/electron, which is plotted on a linear
grid. The scale may be manipulated to move the trace out of the way of the
primary curves (keep track divisions as whole numbers). This trace is
generally reserved for quantitative logs. It is plotted as a heavy dashed line
in track 3 (when Bulk Density or Density Porosity is plotted across
tracks 2 and 3), or in track 3 as a half track presentation (when Bulk
Density or Density Porosity is plotted only in track 3). This currently is
not a commercial measurement!
Delta Rho Correction
The default scale is - 0.25 to 0.25 g/cc, which is plotted on a linear grid.
Although the scale can be manipulated to move it out of the way of the
primary curves, the same sensitivity should be maintained (i.e., - 0.5 to
0.20 g/cc). This curve is generally reserved for quantitative logs. It is
plotted in track 3 as a medium spot line (when Bulk Density or Density
Porosity is plotted across tracks 2 and 3), or in track 3 as a half track
presentation (when Bulk Density or Density Porosity is plotted in only
track 3). Consult the client for preferred scales and formats.
Time Since Drilled
Time Since Drilled is a trace that is automatically calculated in
P-SERIES and MDMS software systems and is referred to as Elapsed
Time. This trace is also calculated from the executable ADDTSD in the
HPUTIL main menu (run ADDTSD after the binary file in HPUTIL has
been constructed). It is important to note that there are differences between
these traces. Most notably P-SERIES/MDMS calculates elapsed time on a
run-by-run basis, which means the trace is interrupted at the end and
beginning of runs. Use this trace only if HPUTIL and MPLOT are not
available for generating logs. The ADDTSD executable calculates Time
Since Drilled continuously from top to bottom so there are no
interruptions in the trace. The ADDTSD executable also gives you much
more flexibility in selecting traces you can calculate TSD from, such as
phase difference resistivity, gamma ray, etc. This is the trace of choice. Be
careful when selecting mnemonics for plotting. Use mnemonics that are

Log Preparation
defined as Time Since Drilled (for example, RPTM - Time Since Drilled
from Phase Difference Resistivity [RWD]).
This trace is plotted on linear grids only and reserved for quantitative logs.
The default track for Time Since Drilled is track 3. However, it may be
moved over to the first track for Triple Combo presentations to avoid
competition with other traces or when a logarithmic grid is used in track 3.
The default scale from 0 to 300 minutes (increasing from left to right
should be used in conjunction with a medium spot line type. It is not
recommended to use a scale smaller than 0 600 minutes. Since a medium
spot line type is similar to a medium dashed line (the back up scale for
conductivity), make sure to identify the back up conductivity trace as
CSAX back up or CPCM back up.
Note: Plot Time Since Drilled with the X-10 Mode (see
Note in Resistivity on page 2-5) to avoid multiple trace
wraps where bit trips and long periods of circulation
occur.
Data Density
Data density is another data type that is automatically calculated by the
P-SERIES/MDMS software systems. This trace is also calculated with
Time Since Drilled from the ADDTSD executable in the HPUTIL main
menu (run ADDTSD after the binary file in HPUTIL has been
constructed). The Data Density calculated from ADDTSD is the trace of
choice for plotting. Data density should be plotted as tick marks on the left
side of the depth track on quantitative logs. Make sure to move any
annotated Run Markers to the right side of the depth track.
True Vertical Depth
True vertical depth is another new trace added for horizontal wells. It is
calculated from the ADDTVD executable in the HPUTIL main menu. It
should be plotted on both correlation and quantitative logs in track 1 as a
heavy spot line type with a variable scale (the scale will depend on the true
vertical depths calculated in the lateral portion of the hole), which should
increase from right to left. If scaled appropriately, the TVD trace can be
used in conjunction with the gamma ray and/or resistivity traces to identify
when the bit enters and exits the objective zone.

Log Preparation
Log Annotations
Note: Annotations for logs are constructed using the control
file comment.fil (see page 2-13).
See Remark
Follow the recommendations in the Remarks section (see page 3-10). All
remarks should be referenced on the log by the See Remark annotation.
If the See Remark refers to a particular depth interval, position the
reference in between the top and bottom of the interval instead of at the top
or bottom of the interval. Do this unless the interval to be remarked is
several hundred feet in depth on the log.
Trace Labels
Trace labels should be placed within the first 100 feet and last 100 feet of
each log. If your log is only a few hundred feet in length, such as a relog or
morning log, it may not be necessary to supply trace labels at both the top
and the bottom of the log (i.e., avoid crowding the log with too much
information). Examine TVD logs carefully for this! In addition, trace labels
should be provided at intermediate points on quantitative logs and lengthy
correlation logs. As a rule, these should be spaced approximately every
five feet, or 1.5 meters, on both quantitative and correlation logs. It is
important to remember that the trace labels may need to be adjusted so they
are evenly spaced on the log. It is better to have fewer trace labels than too
many trace labels. Also, avoid placing trace labels in pay zones or areas of
interest.
Also, always make sure trace labels are provided where one service ends
and another service begins on the log (i.e., where RGD converts to DPR).
If large gaps are present on the log due to tool failures, or intervals that
were drilled without Eastman Teleco, etc., provide trace labels where the
traces end and begin again. Depending on the length of the gap, it may not
be necessary to do this for the correlation log, but it should always be done
for the quantitative log presentation.
When plotting correlation DPR logs with linear grids (such as the Gulf
Coast), trace labels are required for both Rat and Rpd on the 0 to 10 scale as
well as Rpd on the 0 to 2 scale. It is acceptable to position the trace labels
for the 0 to 10 scale to the left of the traces, which will probably put the
trace labels in the depth track (see log examples at the end of each chapter
for service descriptions). Make sure that the trace labels are positioned
such that they do not interfere with depth labels, run markers, casing
markers, etc. Also take care to make sure the Rat trace label accurately
points to the Rat trace (dashed curve) and the Rpd trace label points to the
Rpd trace (solid line). As a rule, when the Rat and Rpd traces overlap one

Confidential
Log Preparation
another, place Rat on the left side and Rpd on the right side of the
overlapping traces.
Back Up Trace Labels
Make sure back up traces are labeled when plotted. They should be labeled
as CSAX back up ->. These are entered as a freeform remark using the
Annotations Across option (see page 2-15). This is done primarily for the
conductivity trace.
Casing Markers
Always include casing markers in the depth track on all final logs
regardless of whether the casing marker overlaps with a depth label. Also
identify the casing markers with the size of the casing (for example,
13-3/8 casing, see log examples at the end of each chapter for service
descriptions). Attempt to place this inside of the casing unless space is a
factor. This is done using the Annotations Across option (see page 2-15).
Also make sure to reposition your casing markers appropriately for 5-inch
logs. Casing markers can also be generated manually by using the Line
Annotation option for comment.fil (see page 2-16).
If we log out of casing and this is recorded on the log, mark the casing
according to the log, not at the depth recorded by the driller. If there is a
discrepancy in depths, make note of it in the Remarks page. List separately
the driller's casing depth and Teleco's casing depth (see log examples at the
end of each chapter for service descriptions). It is also important to note
those intervals of log that have been logged behind casing.
Run Markers
Identify run markers on the right side of the depth track where runs begin
and end. If there are any runs that overlap one another, these runs need to
be entered by hand using the Annotations Down To and Annotations
Down From Depth options (see page 2-16). When runs do overlap, offset
and alternate the run markers as shown in the log examples at the end of
each chapter for service descriptions. Where resistivities plot below 0.2
ohm-m (i.e., plots into the depth track), offset run markers if necessary to
avoid overlap between the run marker and resistivity trace.
Make note that run markers should now be plotted on the right side of the
depth track. Data density has been moved to the left-hand side of the depth
track so it will not interfere with resistivity traces that plot below 0.2
ohm-m.

TD Markers
TD markers should also be provided at the end of the log (at TD) in the
depth track unless they overlap with depth labels (see log examples at the
end of each chapter for service descriptions). Commonly, this will happen
on only one log, such as the TVD log. In this case, remove the marker from
the log in question but include it on all other logs where it does not overlap.
TD markers can also be generated manually using the Line Annotation
option for comment.fil (see page 2-16).
Sliding Indicator
This is a new option that permits identification of sliding intervals on the
log. As a default, plot the line between the specified depth interval on the

Note: In order to activate all or any of the annotation options in
comment.fil, go to the HPUTIL main menu and select
MPLOT CONFIGURATION. Select Yes for desired
options. It is important to note that comment files are
generated using the SEE ASCII editor (selected from the
HPUTIL main menu). Comment files are edited using
either the SEE editor or the edit option in the MPLOT log
plotting configuration menu (press [F1] to edit). To
facilitate editing and log preparation, all features such as
trace labels and annotations etc. can be viewed directly
on the screen logs (press [F8] to view log).
Remarks
Type in your remarks as they should appear on the remarks page. If you do
not want a remark printed, you must either delete it or insert an
exclamation mark in front of the remark. The exclamation mark, when
placed in column 1, basically tells the computer not to print that line (see
Exclamation Mark on page 2-12).
Annotations
You should make an attempt to learn all of the annotation options available
under the comment.fil. Become familiar with freeforming the annotations
and, in particular, the Down from Depth and Down to Depth options.
These allow you to freeform run markers in the event that you have
overlapping runs. You will also be required to annotate the casing size in
the depth track of each log where applicable (see example logs at the end of
each chapter for service descriptions). You may also find it necessary to

Log Preparation
freeform the See Remark X option when the preset positions get in the
way of log traces.
Look for areas of conflict after plotting a log. For example, look for
overlapping run markers, casing markers and TD markers that overlap
depth markers, or trace labels and See Remark X that overlap traces, etc.
If there are conflicts, reposition the label accordingly. Overlapping run
markers should be put in the depth track using freeform annotations. Omit
TD markers from logs where the TD marker conflicts with a depth label.
See Remark 1
Make note of the track coding (1 through 4). If none of these positions
works well for your log, use the freeform annotations (see the preceding
section).
Exclamation Mark
Use the ! symbol for any line you do not want to print on the remarks
page. Also use this to fill line spaces between different sections in your
comment.fil. This prevents blank remarks pages from printing below your
last remarks.
Scale Changes
Become familiar with the Scale Change option (see example logs at the
end of each chapter for service descriptions). This has a very important
application for the first track on every log. In the past, we have encountered
conflicts between the gamma ray and the rate of penetration trace. These
conflicts can, in many cases, be eliminated with a scale change. In the
event of high rates of penetration, you should apply a scale change to the
rate of penetration trace through the interval characterized by the high
drilling rates. In many cases, you may find it necessary to apply a scale
change to the gamma ray trace when it drifts off to one side. Use good
judgement for scale changes. Although you should feel comfortable about
making scale changes, do not get in the habit of applying scale changes
every 1,500 feet.
Trace Labels
When setting up trace labels, make sure to set up separate gamma ray trace
labels for the correlation and quantitative logs. Due to the different
smoothing intervals between the two, labels set up for the correlation log
typically will not work for the quantitative log.
Most engineers find it convenient to build a comment.fil for the main
header and each log type (such as 1MD.fil, 1TVD.fil, 5MD.fil, 5TVD.fil,
comment.fil). It is recommended to end each file with the three letter
extension .fil. This ensures that all of these files will be stored when a

Getdata is performed. Also make sure to use a name that makes it easy to
understand which file is for which log. Remember, we need to have the
capability to plot your log in the event you cannot. If any corrections are
made to your comment files while you are plotting final logs, make sure to
restore these to disk via a Getdata.
Traces On/Off
This is a new function in MPLOT that enables the engineer to turn traces
on or off where desired. This is advantageous, for example, when you log
behind casing. Your log response is rather erratic and may drift beyond the
track it is plotted in. This data can be turned off without having to
manipulate the database. The same can be done in areas with poor data
quality due to a tool failure. Its most common use is when combining realtime and memory data. Typically, the real-time data is disabled in the
overlap region where the real-time data ends and the memory data begins
or vice versa. (see Traces On and Off on page 2-15 for instructions on
how to use this option.)
Guide to Comment.fil (Bryan Dugas)

Comment.fil
Comment.fil contains commands and text to be displayed on logs
generated with MPLOT. It is important to note that the comment file is
generated using the SEE editor (selected from the HPUTIL main menu).
The comment file can be edited using either the SEE editor or the edit
option in the MPLOT log plotting configuration menu (press [F1] to edit).
To facilitate editing, all features such trace labels, annotations, etc., can be
viewed directly on the screen logs (press [F8] to view log).
Each line in the comment.fil is classified by the first character (which
should always be left justified). Also note that there are no spaces in
between characters. Below is a summary of the formats of the different

Line Annotation
|<START DEPTH>,<END DEPTH>, <LOCATION>,<WIDTH>
This line command draws a line between the <Start Depth> and <End
Depth> at the location of a given width. The width is represented in
1/200th of an inch (for example, 2 is 2/200th of an inch). This command
is used to manually generate casing markers, TD markers, and sliding
indicators.

Example: A vertical line is drawn on the outside edge of the track 3 from
11,000 to 11,050 feet with a line thickness of 8/200ths of an inch. 8 is a
typical line thickness for a sliding bar indicator. 2 is typical for
standard width lines.

Horizontal Lines
|START DEPTH,END DEPTH,LOCATION,WIDTH
Horizontal lines can also be drawn by manipulating the start and end depth
and width. In this case, start and end depth represent the line thickness and
width is line length.
|9000,9000.2,540,153
Example: The TD marker is placed in the depth track at 9,000 feet. The
length of the line begins at the location of 540 and extends for 153/200ths
of an inch. Line thickness is 0.2 (log) feet.
Casing Markers
%?,DEPTH-0.5,537
%,DEPTH-0.5,671
Casing markers can be created individually by using a combination of

Annotation Across (%) and a line command (|). The depth listed should be
the casing depth minus 0.5. Two special characters (?, Alt 22...for the left
side) and (, Alt-23...for the right side) are needed for plotting the casing
markers. These ASCII characters are created in the text editor by holding
down [ALT] and typing the number on the numeric keypad, then releasing
[ALT]. As can be seen, this annotation takes two comments, one for each
side of the depth track. Additionally, a line annotation is needed to draw a
line across the depth track. Note the example below:
%?,9000.5,537
%,9000.5,671
|9001,9001.2,537,153
Example: A casing marker is placed on each side of the depth track

(location 537 and 671) at a depth of 9,000.5 feet. A horizontal line is also
drawn across the depth track at 9,001 feet.
Note: Examples in Line Annotation, Horizontal Lines, and
Casing Markers are based on a 5-inch log
presentation, the values for line width or thickness will
vary depending on depth scales used for plotting.

Gulton Plotter Calibration

Manual Calibration
Prior to plotting final logs, the Gulton plotter must be checked for
calibration (see Gulton Wellogger in Appendix B). Run a calibration
strip and check the Gulton for accuracy. If it falls out of the specification,
recalibrate and run another calibration strip. Check for accuracy again. At
this point, you are ready to plot final logs. The 20-inch strip should
measure out to +/- 1/16th of an inch.
However, to effectively provide quality control for calibrations, the
20-inch calibration strip from the calibrated Gulton should precede the
header on every final log you intend to plot. In other words, prior to
plotting a final header and log, run a 20-inch calibration strip. Advance the
paper a small amount and begin plotting your header. Do not separate the
calibration strip from the log (i.e., this is insurance that the Gulton plotter
calibrated is the same plotter used to plot your logs). Anytime a different
plotter is used, the log must be accompanied by a calibration strip as
requested above.
Software Calibration
Software calibration is selected from the HPUTIL main menu (see Gulton
Wellogger in Appendix B). This executable program was developed by
Bryan Dugas as an alternative to the manual calibration. It should be more
reliable than the manual calibration. Use the same quality control
procedures outlined in the preceding section.

Headers
This chapter explains how to generate the miniheader and
the full header.
Miniheader
Miniheaders should be reserved for logs generated on the rigsite for
morning and afternoon reports. These headers will not be used for final
field prints at the end of a job. Follow the same format as the main header
for header presentation. Make sure to note any scale changes that might
occur from day to day in the Remarks section.
In addition to remarks, it is required that you provide on the miniheader the
following:
Sensor distance to bit for each sensor.
Mud type and most recently recorded mud weight.
Mud chlorides.
Rm , Rmf at BHCT (F for North and South America, C for

International). See Main Header, Environmental Parameters on
page 3-8 for details of these measurements.
Measured depth and TVD of BHCT.
P-SERIES currently does not have the capability to plot a Remarks page
for the miniheader. In this case, after the miniheader is plotted, advance the
plotting paper forward to permit space for handwriting remarks. After
enough paper has been advanced, continue plotting the log.

Headers
Full Header
Main Header Page, Top Half
Note: When using HPUTIL plotting packages (HEAD/
MPLOT), carefully inspect the information on your
headers. There are character string restrictions which
tend to chop off the end of words in customer
information, permanent datum, elevations, and rig name
when data are copied over from the M-SERIES Job Data
disk.
Service Type
Service type is plotted adjacent to the company logo in the box at the top of
the header. Only the services (or log traces) presented on the log should
appear in this box. For example, if a triple combo service was run but only
DPR data was plotted on the log, then the box should read Dual
Propagation Resistivity, Gamma Ray. Any other service that was run but
not presented on the log should appear in the Other Services box, in this
case Neutron Porosity, Density, and Directional Surveys (note that
Directional no longer appears in the Service Type box as a default!).
Additionally, there is adequate space to record the hole size or hole section,
a common request for international clients who prefer final log distribution
for each hole section, as opposed to composite logs for the entire well.
Customer Information
It is very important that the correct customer information be on the final
log header. Although you should have reasonable confidence in the
information given on the master job sheet, mistakes are common. It is
encouraged that you to double and triple check your well information by
cross referencing with other sources on the rig. Areas to check are the
directional driller's well plot, the mud report, and the IADC report. Give
little faith in a sign on the company man's wall with the well information
on it or signs on the derrick of the rig. These are seldom updated from well
to well, especially for operators who tend to go from well to well very
quickly.
Well Numbers
Well numbers may be designated as either No. A-34 or # A-34.

Field
The bottom-hole location block number should always be provided here.
In other words, if the rig is located in block 60, but the bottom-hole
location is block 59, use block 59 here. Avoid abbreviations unless a
character string overflow exists, which is a common problem here.
County
Once again avoid abbreviations. If the field is offshore, write
OFFSHORE.
Country
Country can be abbreviated due to character string restrictions.
Well Location
Always use the surface location coordinates. Make sure to identify clearly
these coordinates as Surface Location. Double and triple check the block
numbers to avoid confusion between surface and bottom-hole locations
(this is a common problem!). Well location coordinates can always be
found in the well prognosis, which the company man should have. Final
logs without well locations will not be accepted. If well locations are not
available on the rig site, then call the office. The marketing representative
responsible for the account will be contacted.
North America
Lease line coordinates (such as 1250' FEL, 1100' FSL of South Pass Block
65) are typically preferred by the customer. If lease line coordinates are not
available, then Lambert coordinates (more commonly referred to as X,Y
coordinates) can be used. If lease line coordinates or Lambert coordinates
are not available, then latitude and longitude, which is a universal
coordinate system, should be used. Format this as follows:
00deg 00min 00sec North
00deg 00min 00sec East
International
International typically uses longitude and latitude. See the above format for
this. Additionally, there is a specific UTM format as follows:

If the location is related to any other position, such as a platform center, use
the oil company format and make note in the Well Location stating this
(e.g., Ref to Platform Center).
Sect./Twp./Range
This is a terrestrial coordinate system used primarily in the United States.
Lease line coordinates that are used for a land or onshore location should
be accompanied by this. If this information is not provided at the rigsite,
call the office.
API Number
American Petroleum Institute number is used as a well reference number
for wells drilled in the United States. Although not required in the past, it is
quickly becoming a standard part of the log header among many
companies. If they do not have this information on location, call the office.
Other Services
This space is designated to list other measurements or services used but not
provided on the log. In the past, we used this to designate things such as
pore pressure detection, etc. If you notice the header pic.fil has been
changed, directional has been omitted from the header. Therefore,
Directional Surveys should be included in the other services box.
When triple combo logs are generated, the modular neutron porosity and
modular density lithology traces are typically excluded from the
correlation log presentation but provided on the quantitative log
presentation. Therefore, when plotting the correlation log for these
services, Modular Neutron Porosity and/or Modular Density Lithology
should be listed in the other services box.
Drilling Information
Log is measured from R.K.B. (Rotary Kelly Bushing) unless a top drive is
used, then log is measured from D.F. (drill floor). This should be followed
by elevation above permanent datum (this value should match the values in
the Elevation box).
Example: Log measured from R.K.B., 92 ft Above Perm. Datum.
Elevation KB 92 ft.
Permanent Datum will have to be abbreviated as M.S.L. for mean sea
level and G.L. for ground level (land locations). All numbers that represent
depths should be followed by abbreviated units (for example: 8080 ft).
All dates should be expressed as DD MMM YY. Make sure your depth
in on the header is the depth at which Formation Evaluation Logging
Services begin, not where Directional Services begin.

Elevation Information
Elev. KB is the elevation of the kelly bushing above the permanent
datum (i.e., if you are offshore, the permanent datum would be mean sea
level). However, in some areas, this number represents the elevation of the
kelly bushing above the sea bed (i.e., the number is the summation of water
depth and the elevation of the kelly bushing above mean sea level). The
Elev. KB is always listed as one foot higher than Elev. DF (elevation of the
drill floor). Both of these are displayed as positive numbers. If you are
drilling with a top drive unit, you will reference your depth from the drill
floor; therefore list Elev. KB as N/A.
Water depth/GL is the water depth (offshore) or elevation of ground
level above sea level (onshore) at the rigsite. If you are on a land job, it is
very important that you obtain the ground elevation at the rigsite. If it is
not available at the rigsite, call either the geologist or engineer watching
the well. If they are not available, call the office. The Marketing Rep or
Technical Rep will be contacted and requested to obtain the information.
Both of these numbers are usually listed as positive numbers, although
local variations may exist. Consult company geologists for guidance if it is
unclear how to represent the elevation information.
Note: This information must be accurate. It is used by
geologists to compensate for differences in depth between
logs. These differences occur when wells are logged on
rigs with different air gaps and water depths. Knowing
the elevation of the kelly bushing and the correct water
depth allows geologists to reference all logs to a
permanent datum. This is essential for accurate depth
correlation between logs.

Borehole Record
All borehole size numbers are expressed in inches (in.) and all depths
expressed as abbreviated units (for example: 8080 ft). Avoid expressing
inches in decimal form (such as 10.75 in.). The conventional method is
preferred (such as 10-3/4 in.). Always begin your borehole record from the
first hole section.
Casing Record
All casing size numbers are expressed in inches (in.) and all depths
expressed as abbreviated units (for example: 8080 ft). As with Borehole
Record, avoid expressing inches in decimal form. Additionally, begin the
casing record from the first hole section; typically this would be drive pipe.

Drilling Contractor/Rig
Avoid abbreviating the name of the drilling contractor or the rig whenever
possible. However, there are character string restrictions in Rig so list

Log Type/Scale
The Make Log configuration menu in HPUTIL gives you the capability to
manually modify some options such as log scale (e.g., modify 1:1200 to
read 1 IN = 100 FT). Use the default setting unless otherwise requested by
the client.
Print Type
Options are field or final print. Any log prints left on location at the end of
a job should have field print headers. Any logs that are intended to be
distributed to the customer from the office at the completion of a job will
have final print headers. However, any final logs distributed to the
customer without the proper quality assurance checks will have field print
headers. Final field prints should never be made with miniheaders.
Company Representative/Teleco Representative
It is recommended that both first and last names be listed. Where
appropriate, first initials may be substituted for the first name. Likewise,
first initials or first name may be preceded by Mr. Most importantly,
make sure the spelling of company personnel is correct.
Job Number
Double check to make sure that the correct job number is represented.
Main Header, Bit Run Summary

Always make sure that bit numbers are accurately listed. Bit numbers are
easily found on the IADC report in the company man or tool pushers
office. List rerun bits with the number of the bit followed by RR (i.e.,

Surface Gear
Do not use Teleco run codes (such as MCC or MCB) to list surface gear.
Surface gear should be listed as TR-3201 or TR 2306.

Eastman Teleco OD/Type

Because of a lack of space, inches must be expressed using a quotation
mark ( ) instead of the conventional (in.). Avoid expressing inches in
decimal form (such as 7.75 in.); use the conventional method (7-3/4). Use
the standard Teleco three-letter abbreviation for tool type (such as RGD).
Run Data
All depths should be expressed as abbreviated units (for example: 8080 ft).
Use conventional standards to express bit diameter as inches (such as
9-7/8 in.). Log times should be expressed as hh:mm (such as 05:30 hrs).
Always follow up time numerics with hrs. Dates should be expressed as
DD MMM YY (14 FEB 92). Measured Depth In/Out is bit depth. Top/
Bottom Interval Logged should be the depth of the F.E. sensor, which is
closest to the bit. For example, in a standard triple combo configuration,
this will be the DPR sensor.
Mud Data
Because of a lack of space, mud type will have to be abbreviated such as
lignosulfonate (Ligno) or polymer (Poly). Chloride counts should always
be followed by abbreviated units (e.g., parts per million abbreviated
ppm). Eventually this will be moved to the Environmental Parameters
page.
Water Loss
Water loss and mud filtrate are synonymous. Mud filtrate can be found on
the mud report. The units for water loss are cc/30min, which can be
abbreviated as cc. Eventually this will be moved to the Environmental
Parameters page.
Rm @ Temp
List surface recorded mud resistivities and temperatures. Most customers

Equipment Serial Numbers
Record individual serial numbers for each sub, source, detector, etc. Drill
Collar Number is redundant with Eastman Teleco DHA No. in the Bit
Run Summary (this will be removed in later versions of software).
Modular Assembly No. should begin with 1 for the first Modular
Assembly used and incremented sequentially only when the modular
assembly changes between runs. For example, one modular assembly was
used for three runs (no changes in the assembly were made in between
runs). The number 1 should appear in the columns for the first three runs.
However, prior to running in the hole for run number four, the neutron sub
was exchanged. Then a 2 should appear in the column for run number
four. These numbers will correspond to modular tool diagrams that will be
plotted out on the header (this capability is scheduled for a later P-SERIES
release).
Sensor Offsets to Bit/Memory Acquisition Rates
Sensor offset is the distance of the sensor to the bit. Additionally, place
memory acquisition rates for sensors here. Remember, the MDL and MNP
acquisition rates are not the same as DPR.
Other Tool Information
Disregard Total Weight and Stab/Location. Fill in with N/A.
Main Header, Environmental Parameters

Rm and Rmf should be recorded at least twice a day, or anytime mud weight,
potassium content, or chloride content of the mud system changes. This
can become significant when drilling into salt or changing a mud system
over from fresh to salt saturated. These data should be documented on the
miniheaders of daily logs (see Miniheader on page 3-1) as well as the full
header for final logs.
Note: Rm and Rmf should always be recorded from a meter. Do
not calculate these from mud chlorides. This may result
in inconsistent results. Once the surface measurement
has been made, correct Rm and Rmf for the bottom hole
circulating temperature (CDS temperature) using Arp's
equation. Present these parameters on the Environmental
Parameters page as Rm and Rmf @ BHCT (bottom hole

temperature, typically 75 to 80F) before measuring the
mud resistivity. The mud filtrate should be easily
collected from the mud engineer on location.
It is important that both measurements ( Rm and Rmf ) be taken from mud
that has been collected from the same location. By convention, mud
samples for these measurements should be collected from the flowline.
However, your mud sample should be consistent with where the mud
engineer (who is providing you with filtrate samples) collects his sample.
Check with the mud engineer for his collection point. If he is sampling only
from the active pit, then take your samples from the active pit. If he is
sampling from both the active pit and the flowline, request filtrate from the
flowline.
Once you have established a sample location, maintain that same location
for the duration of the job. The key is consistency!

provided in Appendix A for the mnemonics listing on the Remarks page.
Remarks
The objective of the remarks page is to document as clearly as possible any
events that might affect the measurement of our sensors. We want to
ensure, in our documentation, that we eliminate ambiguities, not add to
them. Therefore, take time to organize your remarks. (It becomes obvious
when you do not!) Please make note of the example header formats. You
should attempt to follow these as accurately as possible.
List only those remarks that are relevant to the log. For example, it is not
necessary to list the number of Directional Only runs prior to logging runs.
Also provide a space in between each remark for easier reading.
Remarks should be numerically listed and referenced on the log with a
See Remark, etc. Organize the remarks so they are listed sequentially
with depth. In other words, remark number 3 should not reference a depth
that is shallower than remark number 2.
Your documentation should be written for the geologist or petrophysicist
who will be analyzing this data six months from now and may not be
familiar with the drilling operations that took place on the rig. So be
concise and avoid using rig slang during documentation. For example,
instead of saying the hole was backlogged or backreamed on the way in the
hole, write: The interval from 2020 to 2040 ft was logged while reaming
during the trip in the hole for run No. 1. Bottom drilling and logging began
at 2040 ft. This clarifies when, where, and what events took place.
Include both measured depth and TVD depths when referencing

specific depth intervals. List measured depths first, followed by TVD
depths in parentheses. For example, 8400 to 8900 ft MD (7200 to
7600 ft TVD).

Items that should be documented in the Remarks page * are as

follows:
1.
Casing depth of driller / casing depth of logger: Traditionally,

there is almost always a discrepancy between the driller's casing
depth and an open hole loggers casing depth. Always record the
drillers casing depth and below it indicate where Teleco logged
out of casing. Additionally, always place casing labels at the
depth where Teleco logged out of casing, not the drillers casing
depth. This means you must enter the depth where Teleco logs
out of casing under casing data on the main header page. This is
the depth MPLOT uses to place casing labels on the log.
2.
Sections of hole that were logged behind casing.
3.
Sections of rat hole not logged on run prior to running casing

due to sensor offset.
4.
Sections of hole that were reamed. Reaming for logs is

becoming more common, especially with the Modular Services.
Be careful to document and differentiate reaming runs from runs
made while drilling ahead. Also define the objective for the ream
(e.g., the reaming run recovered data lost on a prior run due to a
tool failure or whether it represents second pass data for time
lapse logging).
5.
Real-time log versus memory log (when a standard MWD

Service such as RGD is mixed or merged with RWD Services or
when an MWD log from an RWD Service is merged with an
RWD log).
6.
Exposure time. The Time Since Drilled trace does not wrap.
Therefore, provide a remark where the trace goes off scale that
indicates how much exposure time there was in that interval prior
to logging (e.g., the interval from 3030 to 3080 ft was logged 13
hrs after drilled).
7.
Editing.
8.
High penetration rates, which tend to reduce data density or

may even leave gaps in the log.
9.
Surface equipment problems (such as power failures). This is

important because it clarifies the reason for low data densities or
no data density in areas with low rates of penetration.
10.
Decoding problems. This is important for the same reasons

listed above in surface equipment problems.
11.

Chapter
Directional/Natural Gamma Ray

This chapter provides instructions on gathering and
processing measurements for Directional/Natural Gamma
Ray Service. Log presentations are included at the back of
the chapter.
Introduction
Although the popularity of Directional/Natural Gamma Ray Service has
diminished in recent years, it is still useful as an inexpensive lithology
indicator. In fact, this service has been used repeatedly for logging and
surveying horizontal wells in the Bakken Formation of South Dakota and
Montana. The tool consists of a directional collar coupled with a geigermueller or scintillator gamma detector. This service has only realtime data
acquisition capabilities, thus it is heavily dependent on drilling rates for
adequate data densities. Although this service does have the capability to
store data in the MTC memory, there are no plans to offer a commercial
rigsite memory service with this tool. The DG tool can be used in any mud
type, although consideration must be given to any KCL or KOH present in
the mud.
Mud Types
All mud systems.
Borehole Correction Inputs - Gamma Ray

Directional/Natural Gamma Ray Log Quality and Data Management Standards
Data Editing
Editing of Realtime Data
Because of occasional decoding problems that can introduce bad data into
the database, it is necessary to edit periodically. Editing should be prudent.
Obvious bad data should be removed from the database. Under no
circumstances should the data be replaced or altered. However, it is
preferred that questionable data remain in the database. This data should be
identified and referenced on the log with a remark.
Depth Shifts
Make sure logging depths are as accurate as possible. Make depth shifts in
the database where necessary. Anytime depths differ at a depth at kelly
down by 1.0 foot (0.45 meters) or greater, a depth shift should be
performed. Depth shifts can be minimized by frequently calibrating the
Kelly Height sensor at kelly down and updating the depth at kelly down at
every connection.
Data Management
M-SERIES
A raw database file should be stored on the hard disk (Winchester) and an
edited database file backed up on disk. If a Winchester is not used on the
rigsite, a raw database file also should be backed up to disk. Provide all
necessary information on every disk label, and use an easy to follow
sequential numbering scheme for labeling disks.
P-SERIES
The database file should be backed up to tape periodically during the job.
Both edited and raw data are maintained in the same database, so there is
no distinction between the two like M-SERIES.
HPUTIL
When M-SERIES (MWD data) or P-SERIES XFER files (MWD data) are
converted to binary files for plotting with MPLOT, then several file types
should be backed up to disk. These are as follows:
binary.* (includes .fil, .apd, .uni, .idx),
*.cfg (HPUTIL Rev. 2.1 or greater)

Quicken
Quicken is not required but highly recommended for non-P-SERIES

performed. This application sets up indices for every 100 feet (50 meters)
of log, which speeds up the depth search routine for the MEDIT editor.
(For more information, see Quicken on page 1-5).
ADDTSD
ADDTSD is required for non-P-SERIES databases (HPUTIL binary files).
Apply to binary file as needed during job. This application calculates the
time since drilled and data density curves for MWD and RWD data.
Calculate from the gamma ray (GRAX) unless otherwise requested. (For
more information, see page 2-7.)
ADDTSD is required on every horizontal well. This routine calculates and
arranges directional data (true vertical depth) so it can be plotted as a curve.
This is an HPUTIL utility program. (For more information, see True
Vertical Depth on page 2-8.)
Note: No other rigsite data processing is required unless
incorrect borehole corrections have been entered into the
database. If this occurs, enter the correct correction
factors and recalculate the database.

Quality Control Curves
Data Density
Data density (integrated) should be calculated from the gamma ray (GRIX)
and plotted on quantitative logs as tick marks in the depth track on the lefthand side.
Time Since Drilled
Time since drilled (GRTX) should be plotted on the quantitative log in
track II with rate of penetration. The line type should be a medium spot.
Log Quality Control

You are responsible as a logging engineer to periodically evaluate the data
quality of your logs. Generate quantitative logs and inspect the curves for
areas that might suggest a compromise in quality. If areas characterized by
poor quality are detected, notify the office (Teleco) and the client
immediately. Under these circumstances, the client should be given the
opportunity to recover either lost or poorly recorded data.
Typical Log Response

The gamma ray sensor is primarily a lithology indicator. It measures the
natural gamma ray radiation that is emitted from naturally occurring
radioactive elements (uranium, thorium, and potassium) deposited within
the surrounding formations. As it turns out, shale generally contains much
higher quantities of these radioactive substances than sandstones and
carbonates (limestone and dolomite). Therefore, the gamma ray sensor can
easily distinguish between shales and non-shale formations in most cases.
Shales are generally identified by high gamma ray readings

(greater than 100 MWD-API units).
Non-shale formations (sandstones and carbonates) are identified

by relatively low gamma ray readings (lower than 60 MWD-API
units).
Other Requirements for This Service

None.

Log presentations are included at the back of the chapter.
Introduction
The measurements gathered and plotted for Drilling Dynamics Service are
oriented toward drilling engineering applications. When the downhole
measured parameters, downhole weight on bit, and torque are correlated
and compared to their surface counterparts (surface weight on bit and
rotary torque), drilling efficiency of the bottom-hole assembly can be
monitored. Additional rigsite software packages such as Efficiency While
Drilling (EWD) and the Drilling Assistant are available to the logging
engineer to aid in interpreting trends and anomalies identified on the
realtime log. These measurements are additionally combined with a
scintillator gamma ray detector for lithology identification. This service
currently does not have rigsite memory (RWD) capabilities. However, this
service will soon be retrofitted for Modular Services. Therefore, expect to
see the modular DDG sub more commonly combined with the modular
DPR sub for enhanced RWD logging capabilities.

Plotting Recommendations
Foreground logs configured during the job should use a 2 inch depth scale.
Final logs are presented with a 2 inch and 5 inch scale.
Scales
For surface and true torque, choose trace bounds that allow the downhole
and surface traces to track close together. These are subtle changes
between surface and downhole parameters that can be identified. Although
these trace bounds are typically different, the track divisions must be the
same.
For example: Surface Torque = 5000 to 20000 ft-lbs.
True Torque = 0 to 15000 ft-lbs.....each division for both scales is equal to
1500.
For true and surface weight on bit, trace scales should be the same.
Traces
Always use medium dashed lines for downhole data (true torque and
weight on bit).

Drilling Dynamics
Plotting Recommendations
Foreground logs configured during the job should use a 2-inch depth scale.
Final logs are presented with a 2-inch and 5-inch scale.
Scales
For surface and true torque, choose trace bounds that allow the downhole
and surface traces to track close together. These are subtle changes
between surface and downhole parameters that can be identified. Although
these trace bounds are typically different, the track divisions must be the
same.
For example: Surface Torque = 5000 to 20000 ft-lbs.
True Torque = 0 to 15000 ftlbs.....each division for both scales is equal to
1500.
For true and surface weight on bit, trace scales should be the same.
Traces
Always use medium dashed lines for downhole data (true torque and
weight on bit).
Annotations
If you are plotting final logs on a replay station with a standard three
track plotter (Gulton plotter), you are restricted to a three-track
presentation. Most "during the run" remarks can be annotated directly
on the log provided the remarks are not lengthy and they do not
overlap log traces. Pre- and post-run remarks should be provided in
the Remarks page of the Main Header. Realtime zeta logs can utilize
track IV for annotations.
All of the information on DDG provided above was taken from the
Drilling Dynamics Field Operations Manual. It is required that a copy
of this manual be obtained before running the DDG Service.
At the beginning of each run, list the following:

processing measurements for Short Normal Resistivity
Service. Log presentations are included at the back of the
chapter.
Introduction
The Short Normal Resistivity Service represents a basic and relatively
inexpensive alternative in Formation Evaluation Logging Services. Prior to
the commercial release of 2 MHz electromagnetic wave propagation tools
(DPR), this was the only MWD formation evaluation logging tool available
on the market. This is a current emitting resistivity device coupled with
either a geiger-mueller or scintillator gamma ray detector. Since the
resistivity sensor is a current device, it is severely limited in the mud types
it can effectively operate in. However, it can be used quite effectively in
water-based muds with a chloride content below 20,000 ppm. It cannot be
used in oil-based muds. Although this service does have the capability to
store data in the MTC memory, a commercial rigsite memory (RWD)
service is not available at this time. The RGD Service's principal
applications are wellsite log correlation, casing point selection,
conventional core point selection, preliminary evaluation of potential pay
zones, and most importantly, realtime abnormal pore pressure detection.

units).

The short normal resistivity measurement is very sensitive to conductive
muds (very low Rm), high formation resistivities, and increasing borehole
size relative to tool size. Therefore, when the ratio Ra / Rm is large, the
borehole correction is large and can result in anomalously high corrected
formation resistivities (Rcorr). This is compounded with increasingly larger
boreholes relative to the tool size. The responses below assume an
appreciable amount of invasion. If there is little to no invasion, Ra should
read close to Rt.
Permeable Zones (No Hydrocarbons)
1.
When Rmf < Rw , then Ra is lower than Rt and Rcorr may be higher
than Rt (this depends on Ra / Rm and borehole size relative to tool
size).
2.
When Rmf > Rw , then Ra is higher than Rt and Rcorr may be lower
than Ra but probably still higher than Rt (this depends largely on
the depth of invasion and Rw).
Impermeable Zones
1.
If mud is fresh (high Rm), then Ra should read close to Rt , if Rt is

not too high (greater than 20 to 50 ohmm).
2.
If mud is conductive (low Rm), then Ra will read lower than Rt .

Surface measurement of Rm and Rmf corrected for bottom-hole circulating
temperature required on a daily basis. This data should be supplied on the
header of each daily log with BHCT (see Main Header, Environmental
Parameters on page 3-8 for additional mud information and measurement
procedures).

processing measurements for Dual Propagation Resistivity
Service. Log presentations are included at the back of the
chapter.
Introduction
The Dual Propagation Resistivity Service combines a scintillation gamma
ray detector and a 2MHz electromagnetic wave propagation resistivity
detector with downhole memory capabilities. The high acquisition rates
achieved by both sensors (as fast as every 5 seconds) combined with
downhole memory (RWD) allow for a high resolution wireline
replacement RWD gamma ray/resistivity log. The resistivity detector
operates under the same principal as wireline induction tools. It is thus
more accurately referred to as a conductivity reading device. One major
advantage to this tool is that it measures two resistivities with different
depths of investigation. As Rt varies from 0.2 to 20 ohmm, the depth of
investigation for the phase difference ranges from 23 to 58 inches, and the
depth of investigation for the amplitude ratio ranges from 35 to 105 inches.
This tool also has superior thin bed resolution and detection. The phase
difference resistivity can detect beds as thin as 6 inches. Advanced
modeling capabilities for this service in house permit "pre-well" modeling
at the clients request. The commercialization of this service represented a
major breakthrough for MWD Formation Evaluation. This sub is always
located at the bottom of the down-hole assembly regardless of the
configuration (i.e., double, triple combo, etc.).

Gamma Ray
Tool size, hole size, resistivity of the mud Rm , and constants (base offsets

Data Editing
Editing of realtime DPR data is not allowed. There are two reasons for this.
Because of the superior thin bed detection capabilities of the DPR, what
may appear as data spikes due to decoding problems may in fact be real
data. Also, realtime formation records are needed to accurately assign
depths to the memory data. In the event severe decoding problems exist
and the quality of the MWD log is lowered, editing is allowed provided the
logging engineer has consent from the customer. In this case, the logging
engineer is required to notify the Teleco office, then notify the client and
request consent to edit the MWD log. If editing takes place, the engineer
shall maintain a separate copy of unedited raw data that he shall use for
processing memory data. Any and all editing should be prudent. If data is
edited, it should be removed from the database. Under no circumstances
should the data be replaced or altered. It is preferred that questionable data
remain in the database. This data should be identified and referenced on the
log as such with a remark.
Editing of Memory Data
This is strictly prohibited. There are several reasons for this. We should
let the client decide whether the data in question is useful to him or not. It is
our job and responsibility as logging engineers, however, to identify data
that is most likely in error (for whatever reason) and documenting this as
such on the log. If the client requests an edited memory log with suspect

data removed, a separate log should be made and documented as such. The
LIS tape should contain all of the original memory data.
When an interval of questionable data is recorded and identified, the client
should be notified and a relog should be recommended. The concept of relogging a particular interval to determine the repeatability of logging
sensors is a standard practice in the logging industry. In order to establish
repeatability, it is important to relog a zone where the log response is not in
question in addition to relogging the questionable zone. Discuss this with
the client. If the client declines to relog the interval, document this as well
as the questionable interval on the Remarks page of the log.
Depth Shifts
Make sure logging depths are as accurate as possible. This is crucial for
this service. Make depth shifts in the database where necessary. Anytime
depths differ at a depth at kelly down by 1.0 foot (0.45 meters) or greater, a
depth shift should be performed. Depth shifts can be minimized by
frequently calibrating the Kelly Height sensor at kelly down and updating
the depth at kelly down at every connection.
Data Management
M-SERIES
A raw database file should be stored on the hard disk (Winchester) and a
raw file backed up to floppy disk. In the event that editing of the MWD
data occurs, a copy of raw unedited data shall be maintained for processing
memory data (see Data Editing above). If a Winchester is not used on the
rigsite, a raw database file also shall be maintained on floppy disk. Provide
all necessary information on every disk label, and use an easy to follow

Listed below are required log quality checks that need to be performed for

are required to call the office for recommendations.
1.
Identification of Separation between Rpd and Rat: A

quantitative log is required for adequate evaluation. Whenever a
separation between these curves occurs, it is due to either
formation effects or improper tool response. It is very difficult to
determine which of these it might be, so it is important that the
logging engineer notify the office (Teleco). With the client's
permission, it is recommended that a quantitative log be faxed
into the office (this may be a requirement in your region). If logs
are made and faxed to the office, it is most important that a
header accompany the log with all of the following information:
hole size, hole angle, mud type, mud weight, mud chlorides

(ppm), (Rm and Rmf) at surface measured temperature, and BHCT.

Call the office for recommendations. Additionally, the engineer
should calculate the phase difference and amplitude ratio
resistivities using a transform chart (see memo from Rob Randall
entitled "Verification of DPR Sub Calibration Factors," dated 21
August 1991). If the resistivities differ from what the realtime
computer printout shows, then suspect the correction factors
entered and used by the computer. If the resistivities are
approximately what is shown from the realtime printout, suspect
either formation effects or tool response problems.
2.
Realtime vs. Memory Data Comparison: A quantitative log is

required for adequate evaluation. At the end of each run after the
memory data has been processed, a log should be made with the
realtime and memory data plotted side by side (i.e., realtime Rpd
and Rat data in track II, memory Rpd and Rat data in track III). The
engineer should evaluate the log for depth shifts between the
realtime and memory data. Depth shifts result when incorrect
time offsets are applied before processing. If depth shifts are
identified, call the office for recommendations.
3.
Realtime vs. Relog Data Comparison
A quantitative log is required for adequate evaluation. After

a relog (second pass) is performed, it is important to plot the
memory relog data with the "original pass" realtime data.
Plot realtime and memory gamma ray in track I and original
pass realtime Rpd with memory relog Rpd in track II. It is not
necessary to plot Rat. Evaluate this data for depth shifts. If
depth shifts are identified, call the office for
recommendations.
If memory relog data is merged with "on bottom" data, a

composite log that contains the realtime "on bottom" data
and the memory merged relog data should be plotted and
evaluated for depth discrepancies. Plot the realtime "on
bottom" and the memory merged relog gamma ray together
in track I. Plot the realtime "on bottom" and the merged
relog Rpd in track II. It is not necessary to plot Rat . If depth
discrepancies occur, call the office for recommendations.

After borehole corrections have been applied and relatively standard
borehole conditions exist, the following relationships between Rpd and Rat
should apply.

Log Presentation
Note: All log formats listed below assume the data is either
realtime or memory data that has been processed without
a P-SERIES system (or with a P-SERIES system "without
averaging" selected for processing) and plotted using
MPLOT. In cases where a P-SERIES system was used
and the data was processed using the "averaging" option,
then it is recommended not to smooth during plotting.
This will result in over smoothed logging traces. This will
most frequently affect the Gamma Ray MWD API trace.

processing measurements using the Double Combo tool.
Log presentations are included at the back of the chapter.
Introduction
The Modular Neutron Porosity tool is the first MWD nuclear source
measurement commercialized by Teleco. Instead of relying on existing
wireline technology to develop this tool, Teleco chose to advance and push
the existing formation evaluation technology higher. This tool not only
incorporates state-of-the-art detectors but also utilizes Teleco's modular
design for advanced formation evaluation tools. This tool utilizes a 5 Curie
Americium 241 Beryllium neutron source, which emits a cloud of neutrons
into the surrounding formation as the tool advances in the wellbore.
Returning neutrons are sampled by near and far detectors and are used to
infer formation porosity. Although this tool indirectly measures porosity, it
is used more frequently for identification of hydrocarbons (specifically
gas). In the presence of gas, the neutron porosity response
characteristically decreases (reads lower porosity). If this measurement is
combined with a density porosity measurement (which is not affected by
hydrocarbons), a characteristic cross-over pattern between the two log
traces develops (whereby the neutron porosity trace falls below the density
porosity trace). It is this characteristic cross over pattern that log analysts
look for when evaluating potential (gas) reservoirs. This sub is typically
located above the propagation resistivity sub in a double combo
configuration and above both the density and propagation resistivity subs
in a triple combo configuration.
Internally, the tool uses two (near and far) solid state Li6 glass scintillators
coupled with photomultiplier tubes to detect incoming neutrons. A state of
the art 256-multichannel analyzer is used to detect neutrons in the correct
energy window and to strip away unwanted detected gamma rays. A

programmable gain amplifier also ensures proper peak location at elevated

temperatures. This tool is modular in design, which means the detector and
associated electronics are housed in its own sub. Electrical power and
communications from the main MWD collar to the modular tool sub occurs
over a single wire bus. This single wire bus maintains communication from
sub to collar via conductive contact rings mounted in the shoulder of each
sub and the main MWD collar. As a result, this sub can be conveniently
added or removed from the Teleco bottom-hole assembly as needed at the
rigsite.

Data Editing
Editing of realtime MNP data is not allowed. The realtime formation
records are needed to accurately assign depths to the memory data. In the
event severe decoding problems exist and the quality of the MWD log is
lowered, editing is allowed provided the logging engineer has consent from
the customer. In this case, the logging engineer is required to notify the
Teleco office, then notify the client and request consent to edit the MWD
log. If editing takes place, the engineer shall maintain a separate copy of
unedited raw data that he shall use for processing memory data. Any and
all editing should be prudent. If data is edited, it should be removed from
the database. Under no circumstances should the data be replaced or

Data Density
Currently, data density is not calculated for neutron porosity or bulk
density. Use the data density calculated from phase difference resistivity
(RPIM). Data density (integrated) should be plotted on the quantitative log
as tick marks in the depth track on the left-hand side.
Time Since Drilled
Since there should be relatively little or no difference in the time since
drilled calculated from each sensor, use the time since drilled calculated
from phase difference resistivity unless DPR is not present or the client
requests otherwise. Plot time since drilled as a medium spot line on linear
grids. This trace should be plotted on quantitative logs only.

Special Logging Applications

Near/Far Count Overlays
It is recommended that you consult the Regional Eastman Teleco Log
Analysts or Formation Evaluation Specialists before using this technique.
This application permits identification of light hydrocarbons (gas) without
the benefit of a density measurement. This is accomplished by plotting the
near neutron counts and the far neutron counts together in the same track.
The scales for each (near and far) need to be "normalized" for an in gauge,
clean, "water wet" or oil filled reservoir rock (i.e., sand or carbonate) such
that both the near and far count traces overlay one another.
In a zone containing gas, the deeper investigating far counts detected by the
tool will increase significantly more than the near counts. This is identified
on the log as a characteristic separation between the near and far counts in
the gas zone.
Pitfalls to This Technique
It is important to note that the effectiveness of this technique diminishes if
the borehole size varies. This technique cannot be used if the zone of
interest has a different borehole diameter than the zone used for
normalizing. This technique also cannot be used for sand reservoirs that are
shaley or silty (i.e., sands must be clean).
Reference Manual
750-500-041 Rev. A / January 1996
8-15
Confidential
Double Combo
Care must also be taken when using this technique in a mixed lithology
environment. In fact, avoid using this technique without prior knowledge
of the local stratigraphy. You must be able to distinguish between
carbonates and sands (through correlation with offset logs, etc.). An
overlay normalized in one lithology will yield an unfavorable response in
another lithology. For example, an overlay normalized in a clean, wet sand
may indicate gas in another clean reservoir rock that is actually a water
bearing carbonate. However, without prior knowledge of the stratigraphy,
this water bearing carbonate may be interpreted as gas in a clean sand.
If zones of interest occur in more than one lithology, then an overlay needs
to be constructed for each lithology.
Recommendations: "Methodology"
Identify the zone of interest using the gamma ray, phase difference
and attenuation resistivity.
Make sure there is borehole integrity (i.e., the borehole is in gauge).

Consult the client for drilling characteristics of the formations drilled.
(Do the reservoir rocks typically remain in gauge? How much
enlargement might take place if logging occurs on a reaming run?
Etc.) Your Regional Log Analyst may be able to help with this
information.
Look for a nearby clean reservoir rock (or water leg of the zone of
interest) to normalize near and far counts. Make sure the lithology
used for normalizing is the same lithology as the zone of interest. If
you are logging in a mixed lithology environment, can you distinguish
between carbonates and sands? If not, stop here!
Normalize the near and far counts by adjusting the default scales for
near and far counts provided by the log format on the next page. Scale
both traces so they lie in the center of the track. More importantly,
make sure the porosity sensitivities for both near and far counts are
similar. Once this is accomplished, normalize the traces in a nearby
clean reservoir rock.
Correlate separations between near and far count log traces with the
gamma ray and phase difference and attenuation resistivities for
proper identification of gas bearing reservoir rocks (far > near, in a
gas zone). Be wary of false separations due to mixed lithologies.

processing measurements using the Triple Combo tool. Log
presentations are included at the back of the chapter.
Introduction
The introduction of the modular density sub (MDL) shortly after the
commercialization of MNP has given Teleco full "Triple Combo"
capabilities. The addition of MDL to the DPR and MNP allows for a
greater diversity in evaluating logs for hydrocarbon potential. Similar to
the MNP measurement, this tool also infers porosity. In this case, porosity
is inferred from bulk density. In most cases, the MDL is the porosity tool of
choice. This is because the measurement is not as greatly influenced by
shale effects (the neutron tool, for example, is greatly influenced by the
presence shale in the matrix of the reservoir rock). Another advantage of
this tool is the Pe measurement (photoelectric absorption cross section).
The Pe measurement is used effectively for lithology identification when
the MDL is used in normal density drilling fluids. This sub is typically
located below the neutron porosity sub and above the propagation
resistivity sub in a triple combo configuration.
Similar to the MNP tool, the MDL tool incorporates state-of-the-art
technology. This tool utilizes a 2.0 Curie Cesium 137 gamma source and two
scintillator detectors (short and long). The detectors are placed under a full
gauge stabilizer pad with low density windows. The full gauge stabilizer
permits constant contact with the formation for increased sensitivity of the
measurement. Gamma rays returning to the detectors are sampled using
dual 256-multichannel analyzers. The MDL electronics are also selfcalibrating. This is accomplished by monitoring Cesium seed sources
located in the short and long detectors. The tool is also modular in design,
which means the detectors and associated electronics are housed in its own
sub. Electrical power and communications from the main MWD collar to

the modular tool sub occurs over a single wire bus. This single wire bus
maintains communication from the sub to the main MWD collar via
conductive contact rings mounted in the shoulder of each sub and the main
MWD collar. As a result, this sub can be conveniently added or removed
from the bottom-hole assembly at the rigsite as needed.

event severe decoding problems exist and the quality of the MWD log is
lowered, editing is allowed provided the logging engineer has consent from
the customer. In this case, the logging engineer is required to notify the
Teleco office, then notify the client and request consent to edit the MWD
log. If editing takes place, the engineer shall maintain a separate copy of
unedited raw data that he shall use for processing memory data. Any and
all editing should be prudent. If data is edited, it should be removed from

Quality Control
Data Density
Currently, data density is not calculated for neutron porosity or bulk
density. Use the data density calculated from phase difference resistivity
(RPIM). Data density (integrated) should be plotted on the quantitative log
as tick marks in the depth track on the left hand side.
Time Since Drilled
Since there should be relatively little difference in the time between
downhole sensors, use the time since drilled calculated from phase
difference resistivity unless DPR is not present (due to failure, not in
drillstring, etc.) or the client requests otherwise. This will maintain
consistency between logs. Plot time since drilled as a medium spot line in
track III on quantitative logs. A 0 to 300 minutes scale is recommended
with no wrap or back up. Where the time since drilled curve goes off scale,
provide a remark in the remarks page indicating the length of exposure
time. Reference this remark on the log where the curve goes off scale.
Delta Rho ()
This is a very important quality control curve for the density measurement.
This curve plots the amount of correction (in g/cc) which has been applied
to the density measurement as a result of increasing standoff of the density
detectors from the borehole wall. The correction compensates for the
drilling mud in the annulus (between the detector and formation) and is
largely dependent on mud weight and formation lithology.
Note: Delta Rho () corrections are positive for low mud
weights but may be negative for high mud weights and
carbonate lithologies.
The quality of the density data is considered
compromised with any correction greater than +/- 0.10

Log Presentation
Log formats and trace scales for Triple Combo Services are more complex
and diversified than our other services. Formats and scales can vary greatly
from each client as well as each region. It is important to consult the client
for preferred formats and scales prior to logging. The formats provided
below are default formats. Two types of formats are listed: combined and
segregated. Combined formats present all of the parameters measured by
the DPR, MNP, and MDL on one log. This is the typical "Triple Combo"
format. Segregated formats typically present the resistivity traces on a
separate log from the neutron porosity and density traces. Formats are
additionally broken down by matrix type (limestone or sandstone). Since
neutron porosity and density are typically run together, the log formats
presented here are the same as those presented for modular density
lithology.
This will result in over smoothed logging traces. This will
most frequently affect the Gamma Ray MWD API and
Bulk Density/Density Porosity traces.

TCDM: Optional curve for this presentation. Plot this trace in Track 3 if DPEM and/
or DRHM are not presented.
2.
RPTM/RPIM: As a default, use the time since drilled and data density from phase
3.
4.
DPLM/DPSM: Optional traces for these are BDCM (bulk density, compensated).
Scales are 1.65 to 2.65 g/cc (for sandstone matrix), 1.95 to 2.95 g/cc (for limestone
matrix). Consult client for preferred traces.
5.
DPEM/DRHM: For quantitative triple combo presentations these traces should be

set up with half track presentations (left half, right half). Accuracy of DPEM
diminishes significantly in drilling muds with high concentrations of barite (typically
greater than 12.0 ppg). This is currently not a commercial measurement.

Segregated Log Formats

Dual propagation resistivity is typically presented separately from neutron
porosity and either density porosity or bulk density. This presentation
typically requires one correlation log (DPR only) and two quantitative logs
(one with DPR and one with neutron porosity/density). Consult the client
for preferred log formats.

over to track 1. As a default, use time since drilled and data density from phase
4.
5.
BDCM: Optional traces for this is DPLM/DPSM (density porosity limestone matrix/
sandstone matrix). Default scales are 45 to -15 (for limestone matrix), 60 to 0 (for
sandstone matrix). Consult client for preferred scales.
6.
DPEM: Accuracy of this measurement diminishes significantly in drilling muds with

high concentrations of barite (typically mud density greater than 12.0 ppg). Currently
is not a commercial measurement.

Appendix

Provided in this appendix are the instructions for calibrating
the ST-250 and Multiscan (Rev. 3.00) Gulton wellogger
thermal plotters.
It is important to note that before calibrating the Gulton plotter, you must
first identify the software version that is loaded into it. To do this, press the
[Advance] button. The plotter prints out the model number, software
revision, date, and whether the multiscan function is on or off (the
multiscan function should always be used for plotting logs on thermal film;
this function permits a second burn on the film for better contrast).
When using a plotter with a software version below 3.00, follow the chart
calibration instructions and calibration charts (Table 1) for the ST-250
wellogger. For any software revisions above 3.00, use the operating
instructions and calibration charts (Table 2) for the multiscan wellogger.
Chart Accuracy (ST-250)

The ST-250 has been designed to print with only +0.050 inch error over
twenty inches. Since the ST-250 paper transport mechanism is the friction
feed type and can accept media of different thickness, it must be calibrated
for each type used to ensure such accuracy.
Calibration of the ST-250 is a simple task and its operating system has had
several tests incorporated into it for this purpose.
Note: If the user does not require such accuracy, the ST-250
need not be calibrated and can be used as is.

Log Quality and Data Management
Invoking Chart Calibration and Accuracy Test

The chart calibration and accuracy tests are accessible to the user through
use of the front panel Feed/Self-test switch and a bank of seven dip
switches located in the rear of the roll paper compartment. These tests are
also accessible under software control or a mix of both. The following
sections will describe the tests in detail - utilizing the manual switches. See
the Configuration State instructions CCD and MSC for an explanation of
the software commands.
Calibration Test
The first step in calibrating the ST-250 is to determine the error in a
twenty-inch length of the media type being used (film, paper).
Located in the rear of the roll paper compartment is a bank of seven dip
switches. When set properly, they serve three purposes:
1.
Input of the chart error data.
2.
Enabling the accuracy test.
3.
Enabling the calibration test.
Performing the calibration test as follows:

1.
Load the ST-250 with film or paper.
2.
Set the seven dip switches to the open position.
3.
Press and hold the Feed/Self-test switch. The ST-250 will

perform a regular self-test and after a brief pause will begin
executing the calibration test. Release the switch at this point.
Two calibration lines will be printed approximately twenty
inches apart. The distance between these lines will be the key
factor in determining the chart error for the type media being
used.
4.
Measure the distance between the calibration lines. Substitute

this value for X in the formula below and perform the
computation.
CE = X / (X - 20)......inches
CE = X / (X - 500)......metric
where: X is the distance between calibration lines CE is the
computed chart error rounded to the nearest whole number.
5.
Match the value of CE with the values listed in column A of

Table 1. Column B of this table shows the dip switch settings
needed.

6.
After the dip switches have been set correctly, press the feed/
self-test switch briefly and release it. The ST-250 will perform a
normal self-test and read the dip switch settings into memory.
The ST-250 is now calibrated. It is necessary to perform an
accuracy test to ensure that all steps of the calibration process
were performed correctly.
Accuracy Test
Press and hold the Feed/Self-test switch. The ST-250 will perform a
normal self-test and momentarily pause before it begins execution of the
accuracy test. Once the test has started, release the switch.
As with the calibration test, the ST-250 will print two calibration lines. The
distance between the lines should measure twenty inches, with an error no
greater than +0.050 inch.
Note: If the accuracy test is not producing results within this
tolerance, recalibration is necessary.
Film
Accuracy on film media can be maintained within +/- 0.25% under most
conditions. Because tolerance may vary from roll to roll, calibration should
be verified periodically and recalibration performed as necessary.
Chart Paper
Accuracy on paper is limited due to the unstable characteristics of paper as
a result of environmental effects. A calibration test must be made before
each log. Accuracy can only be obtained under constant conditions.

Gulton Wellogger
Multiscan Operating Instructions
Standard Feature on all Models - Software Upgrade Version 3.00 "August
89"
Multiscan Description
I/C's = U3 and U4 (see Service Manual to install).
The Multiscan print feature is an enhancement to the High Speed Raster
mode which provides denser printing when activated by extending the print
pulse cycle for each scan line to allow more development time on thermal
film media. The increased density improves reproducible qualities in
blueline copy and readability in overlay usage. When used with standard
thermal charts, a darker image can be obtained for enhanced readability.
Version 3.00 software modifies the dip switch calibration function by using
dip switch No. 7 to toggle Multiscan On/Off. Multiscan may also be
controlled with software commands provided. Calibration tables have been
modified for six position dip switch control.
Multiscan maximum print rate is 0.6 inches per second.
Multiscan will only function in the High Speed Raster mode.
All Gulton Wellogger Versatec V-80 emulation interfaces use the High
Speed Raster mode. (Models TAC-387, TAC 387T, TAC-388 and
TAC-392). If you are not sure what mode your specific software supports,
contact your software supplier.
Multiscan Operation
Manual Method
Multiscan On = Dip switch #7 in down position.
Multiscan Off = Dip switch #7 in up position.
The new setting must be activated with a reset command.
Reset method = Activate self-test or turn power off/on.
(Power Off/On is a hardware reset - reconfigure HSR)
Multiscan On/Off status is printed when self test function is activated.

Multiscan Off = 4B80 0001
The software method disables all dip switches until:
a) Multiscan is turned off with a software instruction.
b) Hard Reset - Power-up or internal reset command.
The self test function can then be used without changing Multiscan On/Off
state.

Gultcal Software Calibration

This program can be used on either the ST-250 or Multiscan (Rev. 3.00).
To run the program, select "Gulton Calibration" from the HPUTIL main
menu. At the prompt, type C (for Calibration test). This will reset all of the
Gulton plotter dip switches to zero (all open) using a software command. A
self-test line will then appear from the plotter as follows:
____________________________________________________________

This is followed by 21 evenly spaced calibration lines. Pay particular
attention to the "Revision Number" below the self test line. This is needed
to determine the correct calibration equation and corresponding table to use
to reset the dip switches on the Gulton plotter.
After the calibration test has been performed, measure the distance from
the first calibration line to the last. This distance should be approximately
20 inches (500 millimeters). Using the revision number printed below the
self test line, select the correct equation and table listed below.
English & Rev. below 03.00 CE = X / (X - 20) TABLE 1
Metric & Rev. below 03.00 CE = X / (X-500) TABLE 1
English & Rev. 03.00 or above CE = [ (X - 20) / X ] * 1000 TABLE 2
Metric & Rev. 03.00 or above CE = [ (X - 500) / X ] * 1000 TABLE 2
Where: X is the measured distance between the calibration lines, and
Tables 1 and 2 are those tables found below.
Once the CE value is calculated, look in the appropriate table for the
correct dip switch settings and reset the dip switches located behind the
paper roll on the unit. Once the dip switches have been set, activate them
by cycling the power down and then on again. After the power has been
cycled, confirm the accuracy of the Gulton with the accuracy test in Gultcal
(type A at the prompt). Measure the distance between the first and last line.
This measurement should be 20 inches +0.050 inches. 1/16th of an inch, or
+2 millimeters is considered acceptable.

TABLE 1: Dip Switch Chart

Switch Closed (Up) = "C" (O)
Switch Open (Down) = "O" (1)
***A value of zero (switches closed) forces a Calibration Test even if
Accuracy Test was triggered.
