FESAus

About FESAus

FESAus, the Formation Evaluation Society of Australia, is the Australian chapter of the Society of Petrophysicists and Well Log Analysts (SPWLA).

Its aims are to provide a technical monthly forum for geoscientists focused on all aspects of formation evaluation, from new tools available to new techniques and approaches to analysing reservoirs, and to encourage formation evaluation professionals to network. In line with the founding principles of the SPWLA, FESAus is a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of the science of Petrophysics and Formation Evaluation, including well logging, coring, and other formation evaluation techniques and to the application of these techniques to the exploitation of gas, oil and other minerals, particularly in Australia.

Upcoming Events:

Wesley Emery (iRPM)

Petrophysical interpretation continues to evolve with the development of techniques aimed at simplifying workflows and improving robustness. Among these are deterministic, multimineral, and probabilistic approaches—each offering distinct advantages and limitations. Log normalisation is another such method that plays a crucial role in improving consistency and comparability across datasets.

This presentation will explore the strengths and weaknesses of log normalisation, providing context through an overview of log data calibration and field corrections, and their relevance to effective normalisation practices.

In addition, the talk will highlight other commonly encountered petrophysical practices—observed by the author in various team environments—that can inadvertently introduce uncertainty or errors into interpretations. These “black holes” of petrophysical analysis serve as cautionary examples of how misapplied techniques can impact results.
