Introduces Laminated Sand-Shale Analysis (LSSA) and Borehole Image Dip Picker
HOUSTON--(Business Wire)--
Fugro-Jason (www.fugro-jason.com) today announced the general availability of
PowerLog 3.1, the latest version of this well-known petrophysical interpretation
software, enhancing numerous capabilities and adding two new interactive
modules. PowerLog is the industry standard for Windows-based petrophysical
analysis, dedicated to log data editing, conditioning, analysis and
presentation. Fugro-Jason is a leader in reservoir characterization technology
for the oil and gas industry.
"PowerLog 3.1 introduces two new modules that help petrophysicists maximize log
data use and the quality of the resulting analysis," said Joe Jacquot, Strategic
Marketing Manager for Fugro-Jason. "We are now able to rapidly introduce new
functionality with frequent releases, thanks to our new PowerLog 3 agile
development platform."
The LSSA module provides a graphical view of isotropic and anisotropic
thinly-laminated sand-shale sequences. Built for use with Baker`s 3DEX
multi-component induction tool, LSSA partitions formations into sand and shale
beds using the Thomas-Stieber model. Using Vsh, porosity, and resistivity plots
with overlays, petrophysicists can graphically adjust interpretation parameters
for easy visual feedback and QC of analysis results.
Borehole image logs, whether electrical or acoustic, tell a lot about formation
bedding planes, fractures, and borehole breakouts. With the new Borehole Image
Dip Picker, petrophysicists can easily and interactively pick, save, recall,
edit, and share dips from borehole image logs.
PowerLog 3.1 is now generally available, and is a maintenance upgrade for
customers already on PowerLog 3.0. Contact Fugro-Jason for pricing and further
details.
