Coding

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-004268

The process of assigning specific values or classifications to intervals of a well log based on interpreted properties like lithology, fluid type, or depositional environment. This creates a discrete curve from continuous log data or visual core descriptions, simplifying the data for geological modeling or reservoir characterization. For example, a lithology code might assign '1' for sandstone, '2' for shale, and '3' for limestone, creating a simplified geological column.
