New Software Release

Highlights from this release:

Techlog AI Import & Log Prediction Tools

We are pleased to announce the release of two new Techlog™ wellbore software AI tools, which leverage generative AI technology to streamline workflows by extracting insights from unstructured data and automating critical interpretation processes.

These tools are designed to support customers with both on-premises and cloud infrastructure, enabling data-driven decision making through:

• Enhanced user efficiency.
• Reduced manual effort.
• New levels of untapped intelligence from existing data.

Techlog AI Import

Operators often rely on as little as 10% of the available data when making critical investment decisions for exploration or joint ventures. Most of the information remains locked in unstructured formats— images, PDFs, or scanned reports.

The new Techlog AI Import tool addresses this challenge by enabling geoscientists to directly import and process unstructured data, including legacy formats such as TIF, LAS, and old images. This capability streamlines data discovery and significantly reduces manual effort. The imported data becomes immediately available for quality control and publication to the OSDU® Data Platform, enhancing overall data accessibility and governance.

Techlog AI Log Prediction

This lightweight, AI-powered log prediction tool is built on a globally trained log foundation model. Developed with curated public data from more than 18,000 wells worldwide, it processes information without the need for a GPU.

Designed to accelerate and enhance subsurface interpretation, the log foundational model provides a strong baseline that users can tune both locally and privately with their own basin or asset data—selecting calibration wells, defining inputs and targets, and running the tuning process directly in Techlog software.

Once customized, the model can predict missing logs across other wells with high accuracy and minimal training data. In the case of acoustic data, many users require shear velocity for diverse workflows—this approach has been shown to reduce the median absolute error in a shear velocity prediction use case by 50% compared to traditional AI methods.

Future releases will extend access to customer-tuned models across other Delfi™ digital platform applications, including Petrel software—enabling seamless, scalable value across the subsurface workflow.

Domains

Petrophysics

Techlog 3DP—Petrophysics for High Angle and Horizontal Wells

This module has long supported correction of log responses for geometry effects, improving accuracy of formation evaluation in high-angle and horizontal wells. Existing capabilities include automatic near-wellbore model initialization using dip sets and density image data.

Optimized for wells with near-parallel trajectory-to-layer intersections, this update strengthens the link between borehole image interpretation and petrophysical analysis.

With this release, users can now automatically initialize local layer geometry using ExpertDip zone images—generated from borehole image interpretations with Techlog’s ExpertDip plug-in.

This enhancement enables:

• Seamless integration of geological interpretation into petrophysical modeling.
• Streamlined model setup for high-angle and horizontal wells.
• More accurate and efficient multi-layer formation evaluation.

Techlog Wellbore Imaging (Wbi)—borehole image processing of COI 4-1 Weatherford™

The new image processing wizard in Techlog software now supports the COI 4-1 Weatherford™ tool, which previously couldn't be processed alongside other tools and providers. This enhancement enables users to process a wider range of borehole images within Techlog software, regardless of the data source.

General

NextGen Plots (technology preview)

Users working with plots in Techlog software often face several challenges, such as performance issues and a non-harmonized interface, which can disrupt workflows and lead to frustration. As part of a technology preview, a redesigned interface is being introduced to improve how users manage data within plots.

Extensibility with Python and Ocean™ software development framework

Python compiler upgrade to 3.12.8 (Covers security vulnerability)

Visualization
       New Python APIs to manipulate multi well 3D cross plot.
       New Python APIs to insert a histogram in logview in a dip track.

Workflow
     New Python APIs to set parameters as variable and property in AWI.
     New Python APIs to update mnemonic selection of an already open AWI.
     New Ocean API to use mnemonic selection with a method that is not an AWI.

Product overview

Techlog™ wellbore software has been continually developed and tested for the past 20 years. The result is industry-leading, wellbore-centric software that is faster, easier, and more reliable.

This release introduces advanced software tools that use generative AI to automate interpretation and extract insights from unstructured data, improving efficiency and supporting smarter decisions both on-premises and in the cloud.

On the domain side, this release enhances 3DP—Petrophysics for High Angle and Horizontal Wells with automatic local layer geometry initialization using ExpertDip zone images, streamlining model setup and improving the accuracy and efficiency of multi-layer formation evaluation in high-angle and horizontal wells, by tightly integrating geological interpretation into petrophysical workflows.
