Deeper insights into your well data with new Spotfire® Mods

March 14, 2024 by Elise Lakey

Oil wells in Texas

Do you remember our Mod of the Month series? Well, now it’s back, starting with our newly launched well-specific Spotfire® Mods: the Spotfire® Well Log Chart Mod, the Spotfire® Wellbore Mod, and the Spotfire® Well Spacing Diagram Mod! Read more about these newly launched Mods and some key use cases within the oil and gas industry. And don’t forget to check out our new Spotfire community, which is where you can learn all about downloading and creating your own Mods.

Visualize well log charts

Well logs are gathered from geologic formations penetrated by a borehole but can be used to visualize any other type of data of this nature. The Spotfire® Well Log Chart Mod allows you to easily visualize this well log data so you can better understand the elements present in your well such as hydrocarbons, sand, gamma rays, water saturation, and much more. You can view multiple well logs together, highlight specific zones, and drill deep into geologic insights.

You can visualize, analyze, and interpret well log data to empower your team to find actionable insights and drive informed decision-making processes in exploration. Here are some use cases for well-specific visualizations:

Enhanced visualization

The Well Log Mod offers clear and intuitive visualizations of well log data, helping users understand geological formations and key parameters like hydrocarbons and water saturation.

Improved decision making

By providing comprehensive insights into well contents, the Mod enables informed decision-making in industries like oil and gas exploration.

Multi-well analysis

Users can compare data from multiple wells simultaneously, identifying patterns and optimizing exploration or production strategies more effectively.

Zone highlighting

The Mod allows users to highlight specific zones within well formations, enhancing precision in interpretation and facilitating targeted decision-making.

Geological insights

Users can drill deep into geologic insights, uncovering valuable information about subsurface formations and reservoir characteristics for more accurate interpretations and risk assessment.

Check out this video from Dr. Spotfire on how to get started with the Mod. Our experts show you the Mod in action and detail an example visualization from a petroleum engineer.

You can now download the Mod on our Spotfire community, see below!

Insights into your wellbore activity

The Spotfire® Wellbore Mod is a schematic representation of a wellbore in 2D, plotting True Vertical Depth (TVD) versus Measured Depth (MD). With this new Mod, you can visualize fluid penetration into a wellbore during completion activities, relative positions of plugs and perforations, and plot colored values at various measured depths.

This Mod was just released this month! Let us know on the community what you think.

Measure your well spacing

The Spotfire® Well Spacing (“Gun Barrel”) Diagram Mod is used to visualize the spacing of horizontal wells across a lateral section in relation to relevant formations. It provides measurements between wells to help in planning drilling and completions activities. 

This Mod is used to display wells in what is known as a “gun barrel” view, because of how the wells are displayed. It represents a vertical section through the well, the same as if you were looking down a gun barrel. 

Drill deep with Spotfire
