Velocity Modeling with RockDoc Software

The document outlines a workflow for velocity modeling and depth conversion using RockDoc software, detailing the steps to load well data, import markers, and create working intervals for different sand and shale layers. It emphasizes the differentiation of shale and sand based on gamma ray values and the generation of acoustic impedance logs. Additionally, it discusses the relationships between P-wave and S-wave velocities and their implications for porosity and permeability in geological formations.

Work Flow
Load well data into RockDoc software consisting of GR, Porosity,Vp and density logs

Import six markers(Top and Base of Sand A,B and C), well position and checkshots data

Create working intervals for Sand A,B and C and Shale by using GR cut-off(GR<70:Sand,
GR>70:Shale)

Edit Vp log that removing spurious data from QC crossplot

Generate Vs log from Vp log using GR to differentiate between the water-saturated


sandstone and the shale S-wave estimates

Calculate Acoustic Impedance(AI) log by deriving RHO and Vp log

Highlight Shale, Sand A,B and C on Vp-RHO crossplot

GR<70API -> Sand High porosity-> Sand
