Joint Automated Technology of Well to Well Log Correlation

The problem considered is necessity and possibility of automatic well-to-well correlation, for oil fields having a big number of wells. The conclusion is made that successful strategy is to find a compromise between formal automatic and informal interactive tools. Two different automatic procedures are analyzed, first one implemented in AutoCorr program and the second in DV-Geo modeling system. The analysis shows that the compromise existing in one system is complimentary to the compromise existing in the another. Thanks to this feature, joint correlation processing in AutoCorr and in DV-Geo becomes very efficient. New automated technology is realized by each system updating in part of share data processing tools. Examples of the technology application are shown as well.
