1.5 Working with Logs<br />

The previous chapters discussed how to import data and arrange the log columns to<br />

get a printable log chart. We also learned that each log displayed on screen hosts<br />

numerical data. This chapter will explain how this data can be used in formulas and<br />

processes to derive new data columns. The creation of lithology and stratigraphic<br />

columns will be explained as well.<br />

1.5.1 Formula Parser<br />

The Formula Parser enables you to build and manage your own algorithms to<br />

correct, compensate or interpret Well Log data. Data from multiple Well Logs can<br />

be used in combination with constants and functions to compute new data, which is<br />

stored in a so-called Formula Log. The Formula Log is a special kind of Well Log,<br />

dynamically recalculated each time the formula or its source data changes. Formulas<br />

are saved as part of the Document Template and come up as Formula Log if the<br />

template is loaded.<br />

To start the Formula Parser click the icon or insert a new Formula Log from<br />

the Edit > Insert New Log menu.<br />

Constants, Operators, Logs and Functions are the key elements a formula is made<br />

of.
