Geolog 7’s Elan solver was refined during this release to handle the low-porosity, low-permeability environments of shales. It allowed geologists to differentiate between total organic carbon (TOC), clay volume, and brittle minerals—metrics that became the currency of the shale boom. Without the sophisticated multi-mineral logic introduced in this generation of software, the economic modeling of many unconventional plays would have lacked the necessary precision.
For nearly 30 years, Geolog has been considered an industry standard, used by a vast majority of the world's top-producing oil companies. The 2011.1 release was pivotal because it bridged the gap between highly technical petrophysical tools and a more intuitive user experience for generalist geologists and engineers.
