Hybrid Mud Logging The benefits and applications of realtime HML-XRF data include: Hybrid Mud Logging dispenses with the subjectivity of traditional services. • Raw data source available on every well We use on-site, real-time XRF analysis of the drilled cuttings to give quantitative rock evaluation. • No gaps in geological knowledge ever • No interference with rig operations Our process boasts rigorous laboratory grade QAQC on elemental data that is delivered every 28 • Works when downhole technology fails minutes. • Cost effective with value more than added • Realtime geological/geochemical analysis Daily deliverables include the full suite of major and trace elements and field logs with modelled • Quantitative information, not subjective • Elemental data increases geocertainty for mineralogy, lithology, TOC, and elemental gamma ray (U+Th+K). Formation gas is also measured • Chemostratigraphy and integrated into the field and final logs as an aid to formation fluid evaluation. • Geopositioning – chemosteering • Modelled mineralogy/lithology End of well deliverables include estimated geomechanical properties for completions • Depositional environments • Proxies for TOC optimization and a chemostratigraphic report and interpretation. • Chemical gamma ray • Sample depth verification • Geomechanical property modelling • Rock density and porosity modelling • Optimizing landing targets • Avoiding geological hazards • Avoiding drilling dysfunction • Reduction of NPT • Improved capital efficiency © 2020 Diversified Well Logging LLC. All Rights Reserved. Quality Control We employ rigorous quality control standards on HML operations. Our equipment has calibration runs after every 5 samples vs USGS/NIST Standard. We verify sample cleanliness by demanding a less than 10,000ppm barium content. Our sample depth is correlated using Elemental Gamma Ray (U+Th+K) vs. MWD-GR. ALL quality control is performed in real-time at the wellsite allowing for timely remedial action and giving higher data confidence. Elemental data, modelled mineralogy and lithology is also accompanied by hi- resolution sample images on every field log. © 2020 Diversified Well Logging LLC. All Rights Reserved. Formation Gas Measurement Diversified has gas measurement services that fit any client’s need from Stand-Alone systems to Mass Spectrometry. Our Hybrid Mud Logging service uses C1 to C5 chromatographs as the ‘basic’ level of gas analysis. With this level of sophistication we provide important correlations with elemental and mineralogical data. The C1 to C5 gases and our advanced software allow us to use ratios to indicate formation fluid type and changes. We can also correlate and compare well to well gas signatures. At a regional level we can plot and determine differences in Gas Oil Ratios (GOR) to compare with known production. With the elemental and gas data we collect, the Hybrid Mud Logging service provides excellent Formation Evaluation in real-time and in the most capital efficient way possible … by using material that is already there. © 2020 Diversified Well Logging LLC. All Rights Reserved. Chemosteering Geosteering Diversified Well Logging has steered over 15 Million feet of hole at a greater than 90% in-zone success rate over the past 8 years using traditional GR curves to guide us. Building on this expertise we now add elemental data from cuttings to steer wells with greater confidence, staying in-zone and avoiding hazards. Real-time elemental data is incorporated - ‘binaries’ - that better define stratigraphic packages and formation tops. Elements also mitigate the measure of uncertainty that GR data exhibits in certain formations. Using HML-XRF and Chemosteering your geological knowledge is greatly increased as is the certainty of correct geopositioning. Both will lead to improved completion strategies and profitability. © 2020 Diversified Well Logging LLC. All Rights Reserved. PERF PLACEMENT- ENERGY LEVELS STAGE PLACEMENT- ENERGY LEVELS A.I. Integrated Data Using elemental data, modelled geomechanical rock properties, and drilling data we can use our A.I. software to optimize drilling performance through the comparison of ROP and MSE and our indication of fracability from rock data. The resulting Rock Quality Levels allows us to determine the energy needed to optimally drill different formations. Similarly, the integration of rock and drill data is used to optimize completion design by suggesting stage and perforation cluster placement based on the computed Rock Quality Levels. With Hybrid Mud Logging as the foundation, we fully believe our evolved service solutions will transform unconventional drilling by increasing efficiency throughout the life-cycle of every well. © 2020 Diversified Well Logging LLC.

  • Well Logging
    University of Kirkuk / Faculty of Science / Applied geology department rd 3 year 2020 WELL LOGGING Dr. Radhwan Khaleel Hayder INTRODUCTION: -What is a “Log” and ‘’Well Logging’’. LOG OR WELL LOGGING (THE BOREHOLE IMAGE): - Data are organized and interpreted by depth and represented on a graph called a log (a record of information about the formations through which a well has been drilled). - Visual inspection of samples brought to the surface (geological logs). Example cuttings and corres. - Study of the physical properties of rocks and the fluids through which the bore hole is drilled. - Traditionally logs are display on girded papers. Now a days the log may be taken as films, images and in digital format. - Some types of well logs can be done during any phase of a well's history: drilling, completing, producing or abandoning. -Well logging is performed in boreholes drilled for the oil and gas, groundwater, mineral, environmental and geotechnical studies. -The first electrical resistivity well log was taken in France, in 1927. THE IMPORTANCE OF WELL LOGGING: 1-Determination of lithology. 2-Determination of reservoir characteristics (e.g. porosity, saturation, permeability). 3-Determination formation dip and hole size. 4-Identification of productive zones, to determine depth and thickness of zones. 5-Distinguish between oil, gas, or water in a reservoir, and to estimate hydrocarbon reserves. 6-Geologic maps developed from log interpretation help with determining facies relationships and drilling locations. 1 ADVANTAGES AND LIMITATIONS OF WELL LOGGING: Advantages: 1- Continuous measurements. 2- Easy and quick to work with. 3- Short time acquisition. 4- Economical. Limitations: 1- Indirect measurements.

    ID: - 2767738 Automation Provides Unique Insights of The Rock Record and Subsurface Through the Delivery of a Robotic Sample Collection and Analysis Device David Tonner, Diversified Well Logging, Houston TX, USA, Aaron Swanson, Diversified Well Logging, Houston TX, USA, Ron Hollingshead, Diversified Well Logging Houston TX, USA, Simon Hughes, Diversified Well Logging Houston TX, USA , Stephen Seacrest, PetroLegacy Energy Austin TX, USA, Bret McDaniel PetroLegacy Energy Austin TX, USA ABSTRACT Abstract Objectives/Scope: From the very early days of oil and gas exploration, appraisal and development drilling, samples have been collected at the rig by mud logging personnel to conduct a preliminary geological analysis of the rock being drilled. This collection typically involves a sample collection recipient, board or bucket to collect a sample of rock over the desired interval. The sample is then sieved and cleaned in the appropriate way depending on the type of drilling fluid being used. As penetration rates have increased in some instances to more than 400 ft. / hr. the sample resolution has deteriorated exponentially. From an ergonomics perspective, the highest frequency to which a person onsite can collect a sample is once every 20 minutes. At 300 ft. / hr. this translates to 100 ft. of drilled rock. A new device has been developed and deployed which automates this manual process and thus ensures faster and more accurate collection of geological samples of the drilled rock interval. Sample resolutions of 5ft rock intervals have been attained at 400 ft./ hr. This technology has provided an important technological breakthrough and enables reduction of personnel at the rig site with a subsequent reduction in cost and HSE risk, particularly in areas of H2S.

During early exploration phase, the formation evaluation program is carried out by collecting as much subsurface information as possible. This was applied because of available subsurface data to support the development geothermal project are very limited. On the other hand, the program is very influenced and directly involve to the drilling operation that might risks the drilling operation, in term of well stability and well cost perspective. Thus, the effective and efficient techniques are highly required in the making of proper formation evaluation program. The main purpose of formation evaluation is to get a better understanding of subsurface geology and developed geothermal system so the best future strategy of field development can be determined. By doing this evaluation while drilling, it will give an advantage to the drilling operation itself. Knowledge of the real-time drilled formation, in term of its behavior, characteristic, and composition, will help the improvement of drilling performance and increase the well success ratio.

Oil-based mud (OBM) can improve drilling efficiency and decrease operation risks, and has been widely used in the well logging field. However, the non-conductive OBM makes the traditional logging-while-drilling (LWD) method with low frequency ineffective. In this work, a new oil-based LWD method is proposed by combining the capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C4D) technique and the inductive coupling principle.
