A full understanding of log data and it's relationships to reservoir properties provides the basis for all reservoir characterization and modeling work, and for almost every aspect of reservoir exploration and field development.

Traditional log displays are designed to show simultaneously many properties at once with no regard to spatial distribution other than depth. Multi-dimensional cross plots provide abstract space for correlating logs. A visualization tool for reservoir modeling is good at viewing one, or at most, a few properties simultaneously whilst depicting their spatial distribution. Integrating all three visualization methods extends not only our ability to work with these logs, but also our ability to understand more readily petrophysical data sets and their relationships to major reservoir properties.

The 3D visualization new views and applications in formation evaluation are; 1) multi-dimensional cross plots, 2) spider maps, 3) histogram surface, 4) log normalization plots, 5) composite plots, and 6) 3D volume extrapolation. The logs from exploration wells penetrating Jurassic formations of North Kuwait are used to display; 1) log correlations, normalization, and correction, 2) quick visualization of reservoir property in 3D reservoir space, and 3) display logs with geological models.
