Resistivity toll type selection

This tool planner, in EXCEL, was built as an aid on the proper Resistivity tool selection, mainly on those cases
that a doubt arises on the selection of the Laterolog vs Induction type tools.

The use of the spreadsheet is easy. It is splited into four sections, two input sections and two output sections.
The input sections is also divided into two subsections:

1 - Borehole (Datos del Lodo)

2 - Reservoir (Datos del Reservório)

To be able to select a tool the program requires at least one parameter to be entered in each subgroup, apart
from the mud type and mud weight.
The "Available Parameters" checkbox must be checked so that the calculations will be more precise. As
mentioned above, at least one parameter for Borehole and one for Reservoir are required. If more parameters
are available, more accurate will be the tool selection.

For example, for Borehole either Rm, Rmf, Rmc or Mud Salinity must be entered. If only one parameter is
available the others will be estimated from that one. For the Reservoir either Rw or Formation Water Salinity
must be entered. If only one is available the other will be estimated.

Don't forget to enter the appropriated temperature that corresponds to each resistivity. The program will
calculate all the resistivities at the reservoir temperature for the proper evaluation of the tool selection.

The charts used on the calculations are available on the different tabs on this spreadsheet and can be used for
verification or hand calculations.
The parameters Rm, Rmf, Rmc, Rw, Equivalent Mud Salinity and Equivalent Formation Water Salinity, at
Reservoir Temperature are displayed on the Results Section (Resumen).
All the conditions are them checked and the recommended tool is listed for each condition. The tool that meets
more conditions is then selected (Selección de Herramienta).
In case you want to add any comment you can do so on the section "HERRAMIENTA RECOMENDADA".

Just select the cell on the blank space and enter your comments on it.

Notes:
Based on the local experience, some default values can be changed. For example, the default value for
Rm/Rmf is 2.5 but in some areas the DLL can be used with much higher values of Rm/Rmf mainly in
high resistivities formation (carbonates). If you feel that the defaults values needs to be adjusted to
your area, you can do so by clicking on the button "SELECT CUTOFFS".

Any suggestion to improve this product is very welcome. The spreadsheet was designed in Spanish since it is
mainly for use with PEMEX. If you feel that a version in another language is required, let me know.
