The use of conventional well logs to predict organic richness of a unit of rock requires calibrating well log intervals to samples measured for TOC using pyrolysis or another suitable measurement technique. Using the calibrated logs, we can extrapolate TOC values to uncalibrated logs to estimate source rock richness over large areas.
The use of conventional well logs to predict organic richness of a unit of rock requires calibrating well log intervals to samples measured for [[Total organic carbon (TOC)|total organic carbon (TOC)]] using pyrolysis or another suitable measurement technique. Using the calibrated logs, we can extrapolate TOC values to uncalibrated logs to estimate source rock richness over large areas.
