Facies shape the curves.
Every new acquired log uses a reservoir-specific synthetic facies profile. These are generated analogues, not digitized type logs or measured offset wells. Published regional sections and geological descriptions guide the pattern; API amplitudes, porosity, fluids, lamina thicknesses, log resolution and game depths remain uncalibrated. Saved acquired logs are retained exactly when reopened.
Clastic reservoirs
Notikewin: argillaceous deltaic/barrier sand, with a coarsening-upward trend. Falher pad: a deliberately fictional channel-fill, fining upward; the wider Falher also includes high-energy shoreline/conglomeratic facies, so this bell shape is not a universal Falher signature. Wilrich A/C: thin heterolithic sand lenses in a marine-shale context, with shale spikes and lower simulated effective porosity. Cardium: upward-cleaning shoreface pattern and a cemented/conglomeratic cap analogue.
Bluesky, Gething and Red Jacket use stacked muddy channel/estuarine analogues; their individual regional environments and facies vary. Medicine Hat, Viking and Dunvegan use a progradational shoreface analogue. Unmatched sandstone targets receive a labelled generic laminated analogue, not invented measured data.
Rock, fluid and borehole effects
Carbonates receive low-background GR, a local muddy interval and heterogeneous porosity rather than the clastic template. Organic shale retains elevated GR and clay conduction. Crystalline rock remains low-porosity with localized fracture responses. Coal has low bulk density and high apparent neutron response; low GR alone cannot identify coal.
Gas separates synthetic density/neutron responses. Wet intervals are more conductive; tight intervals lose effective porosity. Clay adds conductivity, so the resistivity model does not apply clean-rock Archie assumptions indiscriminately to shale. Caliper responds to the muddy/coal borehole environment. These simplified responses are not inversions, reserve estimates or proof of deliverability.
Live drilling
The main arcade reads stratigraphic position within its actual formation or horizontal target geometry. Pad GR and gas follow its shared sand/shale/coal contacts and position within the target. Thin-bed and lateral textures are fixed to coordinates, never rerolled each frame. Pad survey samples retain GR, formation-gas indicator and ROP at the recorded drilling settings. The live GAS reading uses a simplified 20 mMD lag; it is a relative game indicator, not calibrated gas units. Historical survey points without readings are reconstructed from the same model. ROP depends on simulated cementation and drilling settings as well as lithology.
Primary evidence
The owner's local roof/floor coals and 67° crossing maximum remain explicit fictional-pad assumptions. Wilrich is not universally coal-bearing. A cleaner GR response is evidence of changing lithology, not a guarantee of commercial reservoir.
