Notes: This can either increase the products price or value. Services Group effective Dec. 17th, 2001. This new business unit will champion the use of digital well logs (LAS data) to enhance the work of exploration professionals and to create new products and services derived from A2D's rapidly expanding digital well-log database. "In addition to its value as a tool for subsurface correlation, LAS data contains enormous amounts of geological and geophysical information," said Ross. "Properly edited and formatted LAS data can be leveraged in log correlation, log analysis, reservoir characterization and well-to-seismic calibration. A common problem in many companies is the lack of a standardized system for cleaning up these data prior to loading into geoscience ge·o·sci·ence n. Any one of the sciences, such as geology or geochemistry, that deals with the earth. ge applications. This leads to recurring data editing tasks that are often performed, with great frustration, by the professional interpreters. Our Workstation-Ready processing group creates enhanced LAS files that are pre-processed for immediate loading into standard industry workstation applications. Using the Workstation Ready enhanced LAS file is a cost effective alternative to the time-consuming process of cleaning data in-house." Ross continues, "Value-added services also includes the creation of geologic studies which leverage our comprehensive well-log databases. Recent A2D-sponsored studies in the South Texas Wilcox and East Texas Bossier/Cotton Valley trends have highlighted the power and efficiency of using digital well log data to perform regional geologic analyses."
