Data presentation

Display of curves, patterns (e.g. lithology), symbols (e.g. fossils), text, formation marker, hierarchical stratigraphic columns, image data (e.g. FMI, ATV, OTV), photographs, operational symbols (e.g. DSTs, RFTs, Mud Data, Survey Data, etc.), …
An unlimited number of data containers, of which 28 different types exist to host single point (continuous and discontinuous), interval or array data, can be freely positioned on the workspace and combined for complex WYSIWYG plot formatting.
Audit trail for each data container and processing step (i.e. Log History).
No restriction to number of tracks or number of curves to be plotted or superimposed.
Comprehensive sets of formatting styles are available for each data container type – pen type, pen thickness, pen color, fonts, shading, curve style (e.g. point-to-point, step or bar) and many more.
Scale and appearance of vertical grids can be customized using individual classification schemes (e.g. Wenthworth scale, Phi scale).
Depth may be referenced to MD, TVD, TVDSS or any other depth (or date & time) system due to capabilities of non linear depth matching. Support of depth and elevation display.
Libraries of customizable and scaleable patterns and symbols (e.g. lithology, physical structure, fossils, pore types, …) are provided. The freely distributed LithCAD application allows design and import of new patterns and symbols.

Dips Workspace (Polar/Rose/Stereonet)

Data Management

Data Formats – Import (LIS, DLIS, LAS, ASCII, EXCEL, WITSML, JPEG, AGS,…)
Data Formats – Export (LIS, DLIS, LAS, ASCII, CGM, JPEG, EXCEL, Petrel compatible ASCII,…)

Depth Management

Multiple Depth Management

WellCAD™ provides a multiple depth management system (date/time, depth, TVD,…). The depth matching tool allows you to fine tune your data (e.g calibrate core description data to the wireline logs). All correlations will be saved in a new depth log helping you to assess the match.

Cross Plot Workspace

Interval Statistics

Data Interpretation

Cross plotting workspace (up to 4 components, clustering, overlay and regression options).
Chart Log for cross plots, ternary diagrams and histograms as part of the report.
Workspace for dip data (rose, polar projection, walkout and woodcock diagrams).
Tracking and statistic bars for interactive determination of statistical information.
Interval and multi-log statistics.
Interactive input and editing of data (in spreadsheet editor and graphic layout).
Sophisticated annotation options including operational symbols for wellsite geologists.

WellCAD processing spectral gamm data for thorium potassium and uranium

Spectral Gamma Processing

Common processes

Filter, resampling and data interpolation options.
Custom equation editor
Zonation
Computation of borehole deviation data (azimuth, tilt, northing, easting, TVD and more).
Borehole condition corrections.
Total & spectral gamma processing (window stripping and full spectrum analysis).
Borehole volume calculations.
Multi log statistics.

Annotations and Operational Symbols

Annotations (arrows, text or bitmap callouts,…) and a large number of specific operational symbols (oil & gas shows, sidewall cores, RFT/MDT/pressure test, casing data, …) can be added to the graphical report by drag & drop or using the annotation editor. All annotations and operational symbols have real data assigned to it and can be imported or exported.
