<p>A computer system and computer implemented method for automatically identifying a hydrocarbon (such as kerogen, gas, oil) rich zone in a well bore includes obtaining well log data comprising neutron data, density data, radioactivity data, and resistivity data representative of physical characteristics of a formation surrounding the well bore and computing an apparent neutron porosity and an apparent density porosity based on the neutron data and density data. A normalized neutron-density separation is computed based on the computed apparent neutron porosity and the computed apparent density porosity and a baseline of the formation is determined for each data type. Using the computed normalized neutron-density separation, the radioactivity data, the resistivity data, and the determined baselines, the presence or absence of a hydrocarbon rich zone is determined. A quality index may further be derived from the data.</p> |
