There has long been a need for a petrophysical answer, comprising at least porosity and water saturation, in real time or within a few hours of logging. ttempts to provide such a product have been hampered by the necessity of defining numerous parameters and well zonations manually. That process required the timely availability of a skilled interpreter or an established database for the reservoir or formation. preferable approach is to determine as many parameters as possible automatically. With the introduction of elemental concentration logs and SpectroLith quantitative lithology processing, mineralogy and matrix parameters can be derived automatically with greater accuracy and with much less subjectivity than possible with conventional, time-consuming techniques using only triple-combo logs. The number of input parameters required is therefore reduced dramatically, to only formation water salinity in the optimum case. Using detailed petrophysical evaluation available only minutes after logging, key decision-makers can collaborate from anywhere in the world with secure Web-based access. Features Highly automated; minimum user input required Quantitative lithology from SpectroLith* processing Quality control for tool operation and measurement Matrix-corrected porosity Waxman-Smits water saturation equation Interactive parameter selection from crossplots, histograms, and log displays Reservoir properties calculated by zone Log SII Standard (LS) file generation PDF printing capability Interactive plot for selection of sidewall core, pressure, and fluid sampling points

3 Get petrophysical interpretation within minutes after logging at the wellsite or anywhere else it s needed. The DecisionXpress service integrates data from the Platform Express* integrated wireline logging tool and unique ES* Elemental apture Spectroscopy services in a powerful interpretation software program. The stand-alone, P-based DecisionXpress Viewer application provides rapid data visualization and reprocessing capabilities with minimal user inputs, and it delivers a robust petrophysical evaluation in sand-shale reservoirs through the secure Webbased InterT* real-time monitoring and data delivery system. pplications include planning of coring and sampling operations; decisions for casing, drilling ahead, or sidetracking; and the design of completion strategies. The basis for the DecisionXpress service Fundamental to the new DecisionXpress solution are the mineralogy and matrix properties derived from ES-measured elemental concentrations and SpectroLith processing. This information removes most of the subjectivity in conventional log interpretation and supports accurate and consistent evaluation results. t each depth level the processing flows linearly, starting with the mineralogy and matrix properties and proceeding through the computation of matrix-corrected porosity, permeability, and fluid saturations. The entire computation is performed in minutes after data acquisition, and in most situations the computation requires the selection of only one parameter, formation water salinity. The results provide all the log-derived inputs needed for decisions on completions, pressure and fluid sampling, and sidewall core sampling. Unlike conventional products that must be adapted to specific environments, DecisionXpress results are accurate and reliable in most siliciclastic reservoirs around the world. This answer product, available minutes after data acquisition, provides all the log-derived inputs needed for decisions on completions, pressure and fluid sampling, and sidewall core sampling.. The Pay flag is set by cutoffs on porosity, permeability, and total water saturation.. The Net flag is set by using cutoffs on total porosity and permeability.. gray mask indicates that results are outside DecisionXpress tolerance specifications. D. Porosity, permeability, and saturation measurements are displayed for siliciclastics only. E. The normalized flow profile indicates the zones with highest producibility potential. F. Water cut indicates that this hydrocarbon zone will produce without water. G. The Porosity Quality flag is raised because the density measurement exceeds quality control tolerances in the washed-out zone. H. The Lithocolumn is based on SpectroLith mineralogy inputs and is useful for well-to-well correlation. I. Quality flags are ordered hierarchically. If Lithology track data are flagged as questionable, all tracks are flagged.

5 The enabling technologies Schlumberger can provide advanced petrophysical evaluation in near-real time, with quality control on data input and interpretation output, through the integration of ES capture gamma ray spectroscopy data and Platform Express triple-combo measurements. The accuracy of ES measurements is relatively insensitive to mud weight, most fluid types, borehole size, and rugosity. SpectroLith quantitative lithology, which differentiates the DecisionXpress service from other interpretation methods, is based on processing the elemental relative yields through an oxides closure model to produce quantitative elemental concentration logs. This step is followed by processing through element-to-mineral and element-to-matrix property transforms developed from a high-quality core database. The SpectroLith process uses measurements of silicon, calcium, and iron to produce as accurate an estimation of clay as is possible from a direct measurement of aluminum. arbonate concentrations are determined from the calcium concentration log with an accuracy that is not available from logging devices that do not measure elemental concentrations. Matrix properties, including density, neutron porosity, and sigma, are also calculated from the dry-weight elemental concentrations. The introduction of the Platform Express tool was a major advancement in wireline logging technology. ompared with a conventional triple-combo tool, the Platform Express integrated wireline logging tool is twice as fast, gives better answers, and is more cost effective to run because it requires significantly less rig time. The system upgrades and expands traditional resistivity and porosity measurements, includes high-resolution microresistivity measurements and imaging, and measures tool movement for realtime speed correction and automatic depth matching with the ES sonde. ll data interpretation is automatically and strictly quality controlled. Quality flags indicate the confidence with which interpretive data can be applied.. Total water saturation is divided into free and bound waters (capillary and clay-bound).. The separation between density porosity (DPHI) and compensated neutron porosity (NPH) indicates a light hydrocarbon.. The formation water salinity (FSL) used in the computation is displayed. D. PHIT is the matrix-corrected total porosity. E. The separation between true resistivity (RT) and water-filled resistivity (R0) indicates hydrocarbon. F. Matrix density is computed from the ES-measured dry weight elements and is used to correct density porosity. G. SpectroLith processing results display the dry weight of eight minerals. H. NPH is fully corrected for matrix and environmental effects. I. fter matrix correction, neutron and density porosities overlay in fluid zones. J. pparent formation water salinity (FSL) is computed to select the correct value in water zones. K. The RT/R0 overlay in this water zone indicates a good choice for the formation water salinity parameter.

6 This presentation combines input data from the Platform Express and ES tools with quality control flags. The flags displayed are for the most relevant hardware and processing quality-control indicators.. The IT* rray Induction Imager Tool borehole condition flag indicates the tool was run close to its limits. In this conductive mud environment, the 1-ft vertical resolution is affected, but the 2-ft resolution used in the DecisionXpress service is of good quality.. The ES quality flag warns of increased statistical uncertainty resulting from environmental effects.. Neutron porosity (NPOR) and density (RHOZ) are displayed on a standard limestone unit scale. efore matrix and full-environment corrections, those measurements do not overlay in clean-water zones.
