With Epos® 4.1 Data Management
Overview
Well is the Geolog application designed to graphically display, edit and analyze log data in either a single
well or multiple wells.

NOTE From Geolog 6.6 onwards, multiwell processing capabilities are available in Well. This
means that several wells may be loaded into memory, processed and then the changes saved
or discarded, as required. It is strongly recommended that only a few wells be opened
consecutively, based on available memory. If large numbers of wells are to be processed
simultaneously, use Geolog’s Project application (wells are not stored in memory, and data
is immediately processed and saved to the database).

The following functionality is available within the Well application:

Well
• Create a new well template, ready for data loading.
• Specify settings to process a specific range of data.
• Set filters for logs to restrict the data to be used (e.g. specify which version of the log to use,
lithology data only, etc.).

Artist
• Graphically create or update CGM files.
See Artist for further information.

Audit
• View/search the details of the selected well history record
• Search for the history of a specific log
See Audit for further information.

Core Analysis
Special core analysis is a system for producing saturation-height models from capillary pressure
measurements on core plugs (SCAL data).
The special core analysis views enable:
• Easy import of data from a wide variety of sources including spreadsheet data
• Simple integration of samples measured with different fluids and techniques (for example,
mercury injection and centrifuge measurements can be used to build one saturation height
model)
• Interactive, graphical display of capillary pressure data with real-time conversion to one
specified fluid system
• Interactive, graphical correction of capillary pressure curves for closure, clay-bound water and
stress
• Fitting of user definable saturation-height functions to capillary pressure data.
• Simultaneous, real time fitting of multiple saturation-height functions allowing immediate
comparison of models built from different functions.

 Managing Wells

Creating a New Well

Geolog creates a wells directory whenever a new project is created. This is where well log data is stored
when it is imported. Once data has been stored in a wells directory, it can be applied to a view (e.g. a
Layout or Xplot) for graphical display, modification and analysis. For information on importing well log
data, see File Catalog.

To create a new well

• Select one of the following methods:
— Press [Ctrl+Shift+N]
— Select File > New > New Well
This creates a well template. Data must be loaded into this well and the well subsequently saved before
meaningful operations on well data can be performed.
See Also
“Setting Up the Project Well” on page 2-3

Opening Wells
Geolog creates a wells directory whenever a new project is created. This is where well log data is stored
when it is imported. Once data has been stored in a wells directory, it can be applied to a view (e.g. a
Layout or Xplot view) for graphical display, modification and analysis. For information on importing well
log data, see File Catalog.
Multiple wells may be opened within Geolog’s Well application, but the data displayed in the currently
active view will depend on:
• the type of document view:
— single well view
a text, layout or wellpath view can display data from a single well only
— multiple well view
a xplot, frequency or facimage view can display data from a single well, or multiple wells;
• the well(s) specified for processing: see "Limit / Specify Wells for Processing" on page 1-9 for
further information.
When multiple wells are open:
• multiple views of the same type (e.g. three crossplots) can be displayed simultaneously, with a
different well (or wells, if required and where applicable) specified for each view.
• multiple views of different types (e.g. a layout, crossplot and histogram) may all be open, each
displaying a different well (or wells, if required and where applicable).
• Geophysics and NMR functions are unavailable (single well processing only).
