Computer systems are available to database, model and analyze all manner of geologic data. However, despite the cost of these systems, they do not come loaded with data. Acquiring, vectorizing and loading data is expensive and time consuming. And verifying the accuracy of that data is the most important and most difficult step in the process. Whether digitizing is done in house or by a third party, the data must be checked for accuracy.
Traditional methods require plotting the data back to paper, laying the new plot over the original and comparing the positioning of each item. The accuracy of the data is limited by human physical constraints and time.
Namther provides heads up well log digitizing, eliminating the need for check plots through on-screen quality control. The traced well log curves overlay the original scanned curves right on your computer screen. Digitizing logs has never been this straightforward and reliable.

Scanning documents is the first step in paper to vector conversion. How you scan documents will depend on your individual needs. Namther provides high speed scanning for customers who need fast, high quality scanning, and who require scan widths greater than 8 inches.

Namther is the most widely-used log digitizing solution in the oil and gas industry. Automated digitizing streamlines your workflow by sending reliable digital data to time-critical projects. Unique quality improvement, editing and validation assure that your digital log data, which often comes from vendors where quality is uncertain, can be corrected and verified to meet your needs. For those working with rasters, Namther can create straightened and depth registered images for your geological applications. Namther’s simple interface, driven by workflow wizards and automation, makes is easy to get your work done quickly. Automated depth gridding and curve tracing expedite this once tedious task of capturing log data. However, this is only part of the power of Namther. Image warp/stretch are corrected by internal algorithms calculated from the log’s grid model. Real-time visual verification is achieved, as the curve trace directly overlays the image original. Once curves are traced, a log quality index value is computed, giving you an indication of the quality of each curve as well as total log quality. Curve calculations are available for basic log petrophysics, and curve mathematics allow you to depth shift or perform inverse operations. Finally, LAS data accuracy can be confirmed with our Virtual Light Table. Without these critical steps the quality of your data, and subsequently your analysis, is unknown. In short, Namther allows you to verify and edit your log data on the fly to produce the best possible results.

Namther includes a comprehensive set of tools to improve the quality of your log data. The Log Quality Index (LQI) provides an overall measure of Quality Score of in-house or vendor data. The Namther Quality Improvement tools include checks for pixel overlay, spikes, gaps, and depth gridding. For verification of LAS files the Virtual Light Table shows the match between the log image and digital data overlay quickly and visually. The LAS report summarizes your data to check for norms. Namther’s mission is to make ensure quality data. Raising the data standard is important to the industry and to you.
