“As a geologist, observations are key in better understanding the evolution of natural systems, and these images will help us to glean a lot of data,” Carter said. These images form a “pinprick” into the Earth to provide the best “outcrop view” researchers have of the subsurface, he said. Going thousands of feet underground, the surrounding temperature and pressure is too great for a camera, so oilfield service companies run special tools that provide electronic borehole images, Carter explained.

“I intend to use the Techlog software platform for its borehole image interpretation capabilities to enable hands-on examples in the classroom and group projects as well as for my personal research,” said Carter.
Then, we will use Petrel to visualize the variations in three dimensions and statistically predict geologic trends in areas with little or no data.” “My students and I will use this software to map subsurface variations of unconventional shale formations. “Petrel will provide a foundation for my research program, which is focused on understanding how unconventional shale resources change throughout portions of the Appalachian basin,” Tamulonis said. “Petrel will be used in undergraduate geology classes, including sedimentology, stratigraphy and field geology, and also in topical seminars when I introduce subsurface data-collection techniques, sedimentary rock correlation, and the application of resource-evaluation techniques. “I will use the Petrel software platform as a teaching and research tool,” Tamulonis said. The Petrel and Techlog platforms enable geologic subsurface interpretation and modeling and are used extensively by the oil and gas industry. The company has agreed to grant a request from Assistant Professor of Geology Kathryn Tamulonis to enable access to its Petrel E&P* software platform and a request from Visiting Assistant Professor Matt Carter for the Techlog* wellbore software platform.
Techlog 2014.1 released July 2014 and added new Cement and Pipe Integrity, Shale modules.Techlog 2013.1 released July 2013 and added new Unconventionals, Cased Hole, Drilling Performance Analysis modules.Techlog 2012.1 released April 2013 and added new 3D Petrophysics module.Techlog 2011.2 released January 2012 and added new Wellbore Stability and Acoustics modules.Techlog 2011.1 released May 2011 and added a new Pore Pressure module.Techlog 2010.2 released November 2010 added GeoFrame ELAN processing algorithms inside Quanti.min and the module was renamed to Quanti.Elan.Techlog also has the new acoustics module which will add much more functionality into the application. Techlog offers new functionality in each new release, not only in petrophysical and geological interpretation but also geomechanics interpretation, uncertainty and links to the industry standard platform like Petrel. In 2009, Schlumberger acquired Techsia and the Techlog platform and they currently support and market Techlog. Techlog was developed to have a familiar modern interface providing easy visualization and interaction of all the data, with a pre-arranged workflow that enabled less experienced users to follow, Techsia made the multi-well interpretation more accessible to all technical experts. The first version of Techlog was commercially available in 2002. Techlog software was developed in Montpellier (South of France) by a company called Techsia.
