DIGITAL CORE WORKFLOW METHOD USING DIGITAL CORE IMAGES
A method for registration and correction of downhole core depth informati on using digital core images. Digital core images are employed during depth registration, with top and base depths for a selected interval being determined by field data and a digital ruler which calculates an actual interval length based on the digital core image. Correction of the top and base depths is enabled by side- by-side display of the digital core image interval and corresponding well logging data, which displayed information can be manipulated by a user to provide mo re accurate depth information. The method further allows for shale volume calculations and facies interpretation, again employing the digital core images.
