the project: log, core (RCAL, SCAL, descriptions), arrays
(special core data, NMR,Sonic waveform, formation pres-
sure,…), borehole images, tops/zones, perforations, check-
shots, text/annotations, core photos,…
• The users can organize the views in the Project Browser of
groups of these different data types to suit the purposes of

core data is to be able to perform comprehensive Exploratory Data Analy-
sis. Techstat provides a wide range of visual and calculation tools to un-
derstand users' data.

wells together; if necessary, align data responses using sophisticated Gaus-
sian analysis, group-by-group amongst wells.

The status quo

• Data is your company’s primary asset, and managing its integ- Browsing information
rity is critical. Information can become dispersed, and without
strict adherence to data storage standards companies can lose
time and money retrieving and harmonizing data, as well as risk
losing it at any time. In addition any data modification brings
risk, and to mitigate that risk it is key to keep track of where
data is and how it was changed, and that is easier said than
done. All of these issues prevent a company from making in-
formed decisions in an efficient manner. Company Company’s

tation methods whilst Total brought to the project more
than 15 years of detailed, rigorous knowledge and ex-
perience in handling core data.

Storage, processing, integration and interpretation of core data

• Within an overall integrated reservoir characteriza-
tion workflow now available with Techsia software,
Techcore provides the means to rapidly and effec-
tively synthesize and combine both log and core
domains.
• Techcore© combines robust method of data manipu-
lation with state-of-the-art statistical techniques; it
hence constitutes a powerful interpretation package
using a fully interactive graphical user interface.

Benefits
• Perform specific processing tasks within one user envi-
ronment, e.g. calculation of capillary functions
(Thomeer, Buckley-Leverett, Lambda, Wright- Wooddy-
Johnson and Hyperbolic Tangent methods), grain size,
pore throat distributions, etc.
• Partition the core data into “hydraulic units” (or “petro-
physcial groups”) that reflect zones in which storage and transmissivity of fluids are likely to be similar. Techsia’s extensive
experience in techniques of classification, correspondence analysis and exploratory statistical tools such as Principal Com-
ponents Analysis is applied for this task.
• Combine the maximum amount of data available to generate “petrophysical logs”, which are fully representative of the
variation in core data upscaled by rigorous methods to be comparable to the scale of the wireline or MWD log data. The
upscaling is performed by reference to either continuous core description data (possibly created by picking on core images)
or to the most finely resolved quantitative measurements on the core (e.g. mini-K or core-gamma) by 1D Kriging interpola-
tion (several external drifts are possible).

K.mod
Objective reconstruction of missing data

Quantitative parameter modeling

K.mod is designed to extract essential information from log data in order to:
• predict non-recorded parameters (!, K, ...),
• reconstruct missing or poor quality measurements and therefore compensate for bad hole conditions, environ-
mental effects, acquisition problems, etc,
• bring solutions for scale shift management from core to reservoir scale,
• potentially reduce the need for coring and plug analysis for the subsequent appraisal wells by comparing well log
and core data.

Supervised Neural Networks

• Parameters can be reconstructed or modeled directly from
log data, via an interactive learning process.
• Multi-Layer Perceptron: a powerful non-linear modeling tool
that retains all the original variability in the data.

Fully quantified uncertainties

K.mod is not a "black box" tool: the users keep full control of the input parameters and receive clear feedback on the
log quality and model quality, at all times.
Uncertainties can be managed:
• on inputs: back propagation method to check the contribution of each input,
• on output: self-organized map is categorizing data samples in the training and validation data for their effective-
ness in modeling the target data,
• possibility to weight inputs to force the model to reach extreme values.

Interactive, easy-to-use and very fast

• K.mod is based on a complex technology but remains easy-to-use.
• It is a straightforward but efficient tool that offers a simple and interpretation and a more accurate reservoir char-
acterization.
