A number of workshops were held in Houston, London and Stavanger to gather input from knowledgeable stakeholders. This was integrated by Flare into a sets of Tools\/Curves by Company linked to standard Well-log Property Names\/Mnemonics (e.g. \u2018Slowness Time Coherence\u2019 and \u2018STC.\u2019) and standard Curve Type Names\/Mnemonics (e.g. \u2018Acoustic Slowness Time Coherence\u2019 and \u2018AC.STC.\u2019). This work required a considerable working knowledge of well-log measurements as well as managing a diverse set of people to attain a consensus view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Benefits\/Outcomes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main outcome was a set of standard well-log curve types for logging tools for the main logging companies (Baker Atlas, Halliburton and Schlumberger). This information is available on the Energistics website (<a href=\"http:\/\/w3.energistics.org\/PWLS\/pwls_20.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/w3.energistics.org\/PWLS\/pwls_20.htm<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Benefits of the project are a focus on the main measurements made by logging tools (only around 2% of the well log curves deliver the majority of the value) and to aid both Petrophysicists and other technical workers in searching for and finding the right well-log data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flare-solutions.com\/FS2026\/book-in-for-your-free-demo\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"786\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/flare-solutions.com\/FS2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5046\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flare-solutions.com\/FS2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-1.png 786w, https:\/\/flare-solutions.com\/FS2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-1-300x95.png 300w, https:\/\/flare-solutions.com\/FS2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-1-768x244.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 786px) 100vw, 786px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Practical Well-log Standards (PWLS) The well logging companies produce a huge number of measurements (logging curves) with company-specific names and mnemonics.
