It is exceedingly rare that a log contains more reservoir than nonreservoir information, and when one is unfamiliar with an area or wants to broadly reconnoiter an area, a scanning technique that sorts reservoir from nonreservoir can be helpful, even with access to computer-aided processing. A good scanning technique not only identifies the reservoirs, but can also give the geologist hints as to potential pay and wet zones. Remember that in the interpretive process, the identification of wet zones is as important as the discovery of those containing hydrocarbons, because the comparison of the tow helps clearly identify both the presence and amount of the hydrocarbons. | It is exceedingly rare that a log contains more reservoir than nonreservoir information, and when one is unfamiliar with an area or wants to broadly reconnoiter an area, a scanning technique that sorts reservoir from nonreservoir can be helpful, even with access to computer-aided processing.
