Well Log QC & Missing Log Synthesis

In one sentence

Finds the bad intervals in the log archive and reconstructs curves that were never run, so the field has a complete set to work from.

The problem

In a mature field, the log archive spans forty years of tools, units, mnemonics and quality. Half the wells are missing a sonic, a third have washed-out intervals that nobody flagged, and every petrophysical study starts by rediscovering this.

How it works

Automated QC detects unit errors, depth-shift mismatches, flat-lined intervals, washout-affected sections and tool-response outliers. Missing curves are then synthesised from the available suite using models trained on wells in the same field that have the full set, with a confidence curve delivered alongside every synthetic.

Data required

  • LAS or DLIS files for the field with header information
  • Caliper and bit size for washout detection
  • A subset of wells with the complete curve set for training
  • Formation tops for zonal training

What you get

  • QC report per well with flagged intervals and the reason
  • Synthetic curves — most commonly sonic and density — with per-sample confidence
  • A normalised, unit-consistent log database ready for petrophysics

What it cannot do

Synthetic logs are interpolation within the field’s own statistical relationships. They must not be used to identify a feature the training wells do not contain, and they are never acceptable as the basis for a reserves booking. Every synthetic curve is mnemonically tagged so it cannot be mistaken for a measured one downstream.

Every capability page states a real limitation. If a vendor cannot tell you where their product stops, you are not being told the truth about where it starts.
