Passey’s 1 Method <strong>of</strong> TOC Estimation<br />

DlogR = log 10(Rd/Rd baseline)+0.02*(dtc − dtc baseline)<br />

(2.297−0.1688LOM )<br />

TOC = DlogR*10<br />

Rd = deep resisitivity (ohm-m)<br />

Rd baseline = deep resistivity in non-source shale<br />

dtc = sonic (usec/ft)<br />

dtcbaseline = sonic in non-source rock<br />

LOM = level <strong>of</strong> maturity<br />

TOC = total organic carbon (weight fraction)<br />

Sondergeld 2 et al find that Passey sometimes underpredicts TOC in<br />

mature and overmature gas sand<br />
