analysis
method (rescaled-range
analysis
) was applied to
wireline logs through the fluvio-deltaic Brent Group (Middle Jurassic) in the Dunlin
field, northern North Sea, to test the applicability of fractal
analysis
in geological
interpretation of subsurface data. This
analysis
reveals that the fractal dimensions of
gamma-ray logs range from 1.0025 to 1.1033. A higher-fractal dimension may indicate more
heterogeneous lithologies or reservoirs.
Analysis
of the procedures adopted suggests,
however, that fractal concepts in wireline
log
analysis
should be treated with caution.
Changes in the calculation procedure can cause larger variations in the estimate of the
fractal dimension for a single
well
than is seen between wells. The validity and
suitability of fractals in geological wireline
log
analysis
need to be considered
carefully.
