Use black, India ink for all notations on the strip log, including overlays and other symbols, except as follows: a. Use red India ink for information or symbols pertaining to hydrocarbon shows and engineering data. b. Use green India ink for all paleontological determinations (optional). ¢, Use red pencil to designate formation, series, or system tons. 2. Rapidograph pens (#00) or crow quill pens should be used in recording all data on the log. 3. Use Eagle "Chemi-Sealed" Verithin pencils for all color symbols (except where colored ink is designated). 4. Headings on all logs should be filled in as completely as possible (neatly). a. Always note the name (or names) of the person (or persons) who completed the log, and the date of completion. b. Always include a brief statement about the initial and present production data. A summary of pertinent completion data should be written at the bottom of the log. Always write the name and location of the well at both the top and bottom of the log to facilitate filing and handling. 5. Lithologic formation tops should be included on all logs. The person making the log is the best qualified to pick the tops. (See Chart VI). 6. If the columns on the log designated for specific information (ex. fossil and accessory column) are not wide enough to plot all the pertinent symbols, the remainder should be logged in the remarks column adjacent to the appropriate interval. Any written description should follow. 7. A completed log should always be treated with care. Tt represents valuable and expensive geologic data, and its preservation is important. 8. The symbols and abbreviations presented in the following charts are intended to eliminate lengthy descriptions in the remarks column of the log. Use them accordingly. But if the rock characteristics cannot be illustrated by one or more of the symbols, then they should be supplemented with a written description in the appropriate column. IV-5 3 Chart I: Siliciclastic Rock Types Siliciclastic rocks are best described on the basis of grain size and composition. Such things as cements and accessories are incidental to the primary description, and should be treated as such. Special rock types such as “granite wash” and “metamorphic wash” can be defined in terms of grain size and composition, and therefore do not warrant special names. GRAIN SIZE COMPOSITION (1) SHALE (<0.02 mm) "(Use pencil or pencil blends approximatin : color of shale or mudstone,) : (Composed of clay minerals) MUDSTONE (<0.02 mm) pa oes an (Distinguishable only in thin sections) VT 736 Quartz SANDSTONE Gace (.062 - 2.0 mm) >95% quartz and chert.

(2) Term graywacke is abandoned because of its ambiguous definition. Clay admixture (detrital matrix) is logged as matrix. (3) See Structures, Chart XVIII for logging or breccia. ® (4) Lithology of framework constituents should be represented by appropriate rock color symbol. (5) Use appropriate overlay of igneous rock type from Chart IV. IV-7 ee Chart Il: Carbonate Rock Types The purer carbonate rocks are composed of varying admixtures of particles and matrix. Local production of carbonate particles eliminates effective use of grain size and sorting as significant factors in the vast majority of cases. Therefore, the organization and emphasis of rock types is based dominantly upon the relative abundance of particles, and their packing (See Dunham, R.J., 1962) Diagenetic processes may change size of component mineral crystals, and destroy component particles as recognizable entities. Any recognizable particles in altered carbonate rocks should be recorded. TEXTURES (1) A.

Caliche VT 744 VT 744 (1) Average or range of grain or crystal size should be logged in crystal/particle size column. (2) See Chart V for logging of subordinate components and cementing agents. (3) Note particles (if any) in fossil-accessory column. (4) 4) If particles constitute >10% of rock use overlay of appropriate dominant particles. (See fossil symbols Charts XII, XII| and XIV.) All fossil types should be logged in fossil column with indication of abundance. Log only dominant fossil types in lithic column. (5) Percentage of mud matrix for packstone and cement for grainstone should be indicated by relative width of vertical column.

Components are logged from left to right in order of increasing hardness. (2) If less than 10%, log in accessory column.
