The Techlog wellbore software platform delivers an industry leading desktop solution that provides petrophysicists,
geoscientists and engineers with a fully integrated, interactive, easy to use analysis tool for interpretation of all wellbore data
types (core, logs, images, photos, etc.). Using Techlog software, these different disciplines can collaborate effectively by
accessing and incorporating the same data into their workflows - thus fully capitalizing on previous data investments.
Details of improvements and additions can be found in the following pages.

 What's new in the 2018.1 base platform

 The Low resistivity pay (Legacy) will be decommissioned in Techlog 2019.1. The method has been
replaced by the Low resistivity pay AWI one in 2011.

 Techlog Guru premium is now part of the Techlog base platform. Its content is available to download
for free using the Guru content manager tool.

 Exporting data does not block the use of Techlog anymore.

 The export is now run in the background and its status can be seen in a progress bar.
 Multiple exports can be run simulataneously.

 New CRS editor to manage the well location information more rigourously and efficiently.

 Well location information can now only be edited through the CRS editor.

 CRS catalog aligned with Petrel and Studio.

 CRS defined at well level and not at project level.

 New right-click option to insert and edit new zonation in LogView.

 New right-click option to insert and edit existing zonation in LogView.

 Ability to edit the current zonation without inserting a zonation track.

 Ability to set the zone pattern to ‘None’ from the zone-type catalog.

 Zonation dock window current position changes to another one after clicking on zone editing mode.

 What's new in the 2018.1 base platform

 The Basemap is initiated according to the first inserted well.

 Ability to set the zone pattern to ‘None’ from the zone-type catalog.

 Ability to change the current map CRS.

 Ability to create a spatially aware or specially unaware map.

 Option to save the CRS as a graphical property in Basemap.

 Enhanced display performances (well projection).

 Ability to convert the map to the current Basemap CRS.

 3D Field Viewer: wrong trajectory display with some CRS.

 The Depth shift plugin has been onboarded in Techlog.

 There is a Depth shift plugin issue when loading pins from a depth shift table.

 The responsiveness of LogView zooming and scrolling has been improved.

 Drag and drop of variables (log insertion).

 Automatic color definition is now eight times faster compared to 13.4.

 Better performances on zonation editing and creation in LogView.

 Zone-type sorting into the catalog.

 Multi-well cross-plot :considers “Automatic switch to data density mode “ property as a global display
property.
 Printing: missing tadpoles when printing dips variable.
 Printing: respects color when printing stereonet group from LogView.

 What's new in the 2018.1 base platform

 Python 3.6 has been introduced in Techlog 2018.1. You can create, edit and run scripts on a
standalone basis directly from the Python 3 editor. You have a specific editor with a tool to convert
Python 2.7 script into Python 3.6.
 You can install any additional libraries on top of Python 3 using the command line pip install.
See the Techlog help for more information.
Note: Python 2.7 is still the default engine used in Techlog.
 New awi properties have been added to the Python editor to enable some properties when
starting script in AWI mode.
o Display mode.
o Layout template.
o Keep the previous computed value.
o Input display.
o Multi-well layout.
o Documentation ID.

 Version 2018 introduces a new user workflow with Quality attributes and enhancements in user
experience, as well as improvements to the Studio database storage.

 Quality attribute tags provide valuable information to help users track the quality, state, and purpose
of asset team data. You can now tag your data items in Techlog with Quality attributes: Business
project, Confidence factor, Data status and Comments, just like you can in Petrel.
 You can configure the Quality attribute tags with the new App Quality Tags from Studio Manager.
 You now receive the following information when retrieving items from Studio: number of items to be retrieved and t
retrieved, their estimated size.
 You can now retrieve wells and their content from multiple repositories (not only a copy of the wells).

 Previously, the whole content of the Techlog project was sent to a project space in Studio during
the Techlog project save. This mechanism had the consequence of filling the database very quickly
with unnecessary data. It has been improved in 2018.1. Now, values for variables are not sent to
Studio during the Techlog project save. They are now sent when you send the variables to Studio.
Also, new entities are not sent to Studio anymore.

 What's new in 2018.1 modules

 The list of sonic tools supported in Techlog has been enhanced to cover the following tools:
o Antares XDA.
o Halliburton BSAT.
o Halliburton Xaminer.

 The following data preparation scripts have been updated:

o Baker Hughes: Soundtrak.
o SLB: ASLT/ISLT/QSLT/SSLT to manage the Field slowness projections variables.

 Two new methods have been introduced to provide the option of automatic calibration of the Han
equations for the compressional and shear velocities. The calibration process is an inverse
problem where the residual function is subject to the selection of a norm. The provided methods
are flexible and would allow for the selection of a variety of norms. For example, L2 for least-
squares, L1 to better deal with outliers.

 Performs the processing, post-processing and dip handling functionality for the new Slim QGEO
and ThruBit FMI tools from Schlumberger.

 Ability to delete trendline from the LogView.

 Ability to save a trendline as a variable.
 Listen mode is enabled for single well.
 New Bowers cross-plot for slowness with charts adjusted automatically with the correct limits.
 Separate buoyancy and centroid script in two different scripts.
 Centroid depth can be chosen to be at any depth.
 Output filter in pore pressure produces the same result in MW and pressure units.
 Trendline does not disappear if the zonation does not cover full depth interval.
 Depth gradient chart now works for ppg units.

 Fracture stability has been added to the Techlog installation and now only requires the WBS
license.
