Abstract: Steps for Creating a Digital Well Log Database

Hubert Collier,1 Michael McCracken2

Abstract

Personal computer hardware and software have advanced to the point that even small oil companies can, with relative ease, create and utilize well log data. This poster session will discuss the steps for creating a digital well log database, including a review of computer hardware requirements, scanning and digitizing hardware, and digitizing software. Case studies will be presented for building databases for field studies in Texas and Utah, and will show how the data were utilized.
