Abstract
Computer support is a basic tool in the well logging correlation for both engineers and geologists by reduc-ing the time and effort when exists a lot of information in order to analysis and correlation of areas of interest ( Startzman, 1987 ). The analysis of geophysical well logging in the oil industry is a resource that helps experts in Petroleum Engineering, in areas such as Reservoir Engineering and Petrophysics. The success of this anal-ysis depends on the interpreter's ability to visualize and identify the similarity among the responses of well logs in a section of interest. This work is usually not quantita-tive and requires knowledge of the area to be studied and reasoning.
The data log used in this work correspond to Namorado field in the Campos Basin (Brazil). With this data you can obtain lithology information of the region using the strat-igraphic chart available and make possible to make a two-dimensional correlation between the selected wells (well-to-well). These activities were carried out using the Interactive Petrophysics (IP) software version 4.2, spe-cialized in the petrophysics issue.
