3.1 DLL_MSFL

The document outlines the specifications and operational guidelines for Dual Laterolog (LLD), Shallow Laterolog (LLS), and Micro-Spherically Focused Log (MSFL) tools, including logging speed limits, measurement ranges, and precision ratings. It emphasizes the importance of repeatability, vertical resolution, depth of investigation, and necessary borehole corrections for accurate readings. Additionally, it addresses typical responses in various geological formations and highlights concerns related to logging quality control (LQC).

Log Responses

DLLT/MSFL
Dual Laterolog
Micro-Spherically Focused Log
Logging Speed

• speed limit determined by other tools in


the string
• 100 fpm maximum recommended
speed
• when operated with MSFL or MGRD,
maximum recommended speed is only
60 fpm
Range of Measurement

Deep Laterolog (LLD)


• should never flat-line under normal
conditions unless saturated in highly resistive
(> 40,000 -m) formations
• range of measurement: 0.2 - 40,000 -m
• precision rating: 5% of measurement

OH-5
OH-6
Range of Measurement

Shallow Laterolog (LLS)


• should never flat-line under normal
conditions unless saturated in highly resistive
(> 2,000 -m) formations
• range of measurement: 0.2 - 2,000 -m
• precision rating: 5% of measurement

OH-5
OH-6
Range of Measurement

Micro-Spherically Focused Log (MSFL)


• should never flat-line under normal
conditions
• range of measurement: 0.2 - 2000 -m
• precision rating: 5% of measurement

OH-8
Repeatability

• both the LLD and LLS measurements


should repeat perfectly
• MSFL will not repeat perfectly because
of pad travel up the borehole
• calibration tolerances:
LLD 20 -m  0.8 -m
LLS 20 -m  0.8 -m
MSFL 20 -m  0.8 -m
Vertical Resolution
Dual Laterolog
• Deep Laterolog (LLD): 24 inches
• Shallow Laterolog (LLS): 24 inches

Micro-Spherically Focused Log


• 3 inches
Depth of Investigation
Dual Laterolog
• Deep Laterolog (LLD): 5’ to 7’
• Shallow Laterolog (LLS): 2’ to 3’

Micro-Spherically Focused Log


• 1 inch to 4 inches
Typical Shales

• in homogeneous shales, the LLD and


LLS curves should overlay with the
MSFL or MGRD curve, typically in the
resistivity range of 1 -m to 10 -m
Typical Reservoirs

• an invasion profile may be observed,


depending upon fluid resistivity in the
flushed, invaded, and uninvaded zones

OH-14
OH-15
Marker Beds

• in non-porous rocks (e.g., anhydrite,


halite) or low-porosity formations,
responses may be around or in excess
of 2,000 -m
• anhydrite may typically exhibit saturated
measurement (40,000 -m)
Borehole Effects
• LLD and LLS require borehole corrections for salinity and hole size
• LLD and LLS require bed thickness (thin-bed) corrections
• MSFL requires mudcake thickness correction
• LLD and MSFL require invasion correction to obtain Rt and Rxo
Miscellaneous Effects

• tool position (tool must be centralized)


LQC Concerns

• repeatability
• resistivity curve profiles (invasion
profiles)
• spiking
• flat-lining
• ensure caliper in full-open position
• ensure tool is in LOG MODE
