Item Application of Borehole-Imaging Logs to Geologic Analysis, Cotton Valley Group and Travis Peak Formation, GRI Staged Field Experiement Wells, East Texas(1990) Laubach, Stephen E. (Stephen Ernest), 1955-Â ; Hamlin, H. Scott; Buehring, Robert; Baumgardner, Jr., Robert W.; Monson, Eric R.This report summarizes studies of two geophysical logging tools, the borehole televiewer and the Formation Microscanner, that were used in GRI's three Staged Field Experiment wells and in a cooperative well in East Texas. These tools can detect natural fractures and induced fractures that reflect in situ stress conditions, as well as lithologic features that can be important for geologic interpretation. Improvement in borehole televiewer and Formation Microscanner technology has been rapid in the past several years, but calibration of the logs with core is needed to ensure accurate interpretations of the logs. Our study compares borehole televiewer and Formation Microscanner logs with core from wells in low-permeability gas reservoir sandstone. Vertical fractures in Travis Peak and Cotton Valley sandstone usually are visible on borehole televiewer and Formation Microscanner logs, but some fractures were missed or are indistinct. Aspects of fracture shape can be determined, and fractures can generally be separated from borehole breakouts, but natural fractures are difficult to distinguish from some types of drilling-induced fractures on either log. Fracture orientation is readily obtained for inclined fractures from either borehole televiewer or Formation Microscanner logs, but the orientation of vertical fractures, the common fracture type in East Texas reservoirs, can be ambiguous locally on both logs. Formation Microscanner images can be used to help document and interpret depositional environment, and they provide images of sedimentary structures and thin beds.Item Letter to Carlos H.
