Mud Log Gas Curves

Now available in a quality controlled, digitised format

TGS Geological Products and Services has
completed an exercise to capture gas curves
as presented on mud logs in LAS format. These are
and historically has not been reported as part of the
normal digital well data submission for released wells.

referenced MD RKB, presenting the formation gas
records as collected from the cuttings that pass over
the shakers during drilling. The total gas and gas
fractions ranging from C1 to C5 are recorded by the
mud logging unit and presented as gas curves on
the mud log (or formation evaluation log). This data
is not typically available in the original digital format
The analysis of these gas records can aid in the
exploration phase by helping to identify by-passed
pay and reservoir pinch out plays. Once captured as
a digital record, the data can be presented alongside
conventional wire line logs for a variety of display
purposes or queried to identify zones of interest.

Geographic area
All released exploration and appraisal
wells on the Norwegian CS have
been evaluated.
