Geolog6.6-The Fast Lane to Formation Evaluation

Petrophysical Analysis, Well Data Management, & Geological Interpretaion

Geolog6.6-Course Objective

This introductory course provides the geoscientist and technician with a working knowledge of Geolog. The course provides an overview of project and data structure; manual and graphic editing, data transfer, utility modules, cross-sections, working in multi-well projects and single well layouts. The course is centered around hands-on exercises, which illustrate commonly used features and functionalities
Courses focusing on Deterministic Petrophysics, Wellbore Geophysics, Facimage, and other subjects are available. Please visit the Customer Hub to view scheduled courses.

/Your_Project/ /bin/ executables specific to the project /data/ houses raw data files; LAS, ASCII, DLIS, TIF /layouts/ log layouts, cross plots, histograms /loglan/ log language, user created code to process logs /plots/ graphic files for plotting or other applications /reports/ pay summaries, info on data loads, .txt & .pdf /specs/ data loading specs, module parameters /wells/ well data stored as *.well & well lists

Geolog Basics pg. 6

Deregister a Project.

Useful for: Whenever analysis is completed or abandonment occurs Limiting load on server & network Make the project & data less visible to others
Geolog Basics pg. 65

Deregister a Project

DOES NOT delete the data Project directories & data remain in original location Data is not visible by geolog until the project is recreated (reregistered)

Geolog Basics pg. 65

Create a New Project

All names are suitable Avoid use of @ Use an _ in place of spaces Public & private projects
