Examples: Level 1 Level 2 giving φaND = –1 φaND = 21

t = 67 µsec/ft t = 63 µsec/ft φaNS = –1 φaNS = 21
ρb = 2.04 g/cm3 ρb = 2.46 g/cm3 and t maa = 66 µsec/ft t maa = 43.5 µsec/ft
φ CNL = –3 φ CNL = 24 p.u. ρmaa = 2.03 g/cm3 ρmaa = 2.85 g/cm3
ρf = 1.0 g/cm3
From the MID plot, Level 1 is identified as salt and Level 2
as dolomite.

This crossplot may be used to help identify mineral mixtures (φ N ) f − φ N

from sonic, density and neutron logs. (The CNL neutron log N= ( English or metric)
ρb − ρf
is used in the above chart; the time average sonic response is
assumed.) Except in gas-bearing formations, M and N are Points for binary mixtures plot along a line connecting the
practically independent of porosity. They are defined as: two mineral points. Ternary mixtures plot within the triangle
defined by the three constituent minerals. The effect of gas,
M=
tf − t × 0.01 (English)
shaliness, secondary porosity, etc., is to shift data points in the
ρb − ρf directions shown by the arrows.
The dolomite and sandstone lines on Chart CP-8 are divided
t f − t × 0.003 (metric) by porosity range as follows: 1) φ = 0 (tight formation);
M= 2) φ = 0 to 12 p.u.; 3) φ = 12 to 27 p.u.; and 4) φ = 27 to 40 p.u.
