Adding Formation Data to a Well Log Plot

Taking well log plots one step further using Python and matplotlib

Final well log plot generated using Python’s matplotlib library and contains variable fill on the gamma ray, and a neutron-density crossover fill. Image by author.

Well log plots are a common visualization tool within geoscience and petrophysics. They allow easy visualization of data (for example, Gamma Ray, Neutron Porosity, Bulk Density, etc) that has been acquired along the length (depth) of a wellbore.
