MATLAB GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE (GUI) DESIGN FOR PROCESSING AND INTERPRETATION OF WIRELINE LOG DATA EXPLAINATION AND SHOWCASE USING BALKASSAR AREA, UPPER INDUS BASIN OF PAKISTAN

Abstract

Applications and programs for the use of processing and interpreting well log data are costly as well as rarely easy to use. This fact makes it difficult for students of the field to acquire and utilize the said applications and programs. Not only is the cost of the tools a hurdle but even if overcome the second hurdle of learning these complex tools is a larger hurdle right after. This study focuses on the showcase of an application developed by myself, utilizing matlab programming that is able to perform basic processes of well log processing and hence can be used as a tool for basic interpretation of well logs. It should however be duly noted that the created program is made using self-taught knowledge of matlab programming and hence is highly constrained by my personal knowledge of programming and coding abilities as well as the allotted time for the thesis. The well used as an example for the showcase of the GUIs capabilities was BALKASSAR-OXY-01 well and for comparison purposes the IHS Kingdom software was used.
