| Abstract: | This paper describes an algorithm for the semiautomatic shifting and stretching of one well log relative to another until a local maximum correlation coefficient between the two logs is found. The algorithm grew out of a graphical interpretation of the standard shift correlation procedure. The algorithm does not interpolate data and it is as computationally efficient as the standard correlation method using linear interpolation. The algorithm is generalized to the simultaneous stratigraphic correlation of separate sections from two well logs and two examples of its operation are given. |
