ABSTRACT
The Interactive Petrophysical Evaluation System IPES allows a petrophysicist to make computer evaluations quickly and easily in an operating environment. IPES was designed by Shell International Petroleum Maatschappij (SIPM). The software was developed to SIPM specifications by Intergraph Corporation.
The logging data are retrieved from LIS/CSU or BIT tapes or log prints can be digitized directly into the system. The logs may first be depth matched and edited before the actual analysis is started.
Cross plot facilities allow viewing the data of up to six curves simultaneously and assist the user in choosing his evaluation parameters and in defining his ‘menus’ i.e. ‘jobstreams of calculations’ most appropriate to evaluate the zones of interest.
The output consists of plots and tables containing full documentation on input and output data. and on the menus used to obtain the result.
