Strip logs contain lithology descriptions by depth; petrophysical logs contain numbers for different properties by depth; the use case is to take all numbers for a given petrophysical property and classify them by lithology type in a strip log weighted by the thickness of the interval for which a given number applies; then, average values for the classified property need to be calculated by lithology. The use case should work for one strip log and petrophysical log pair or a group of pairs as required.
Actors
Users of this workflow want quantitative estimates of a property for a given subset of lithologies where lithology descriptions and quantitative property measurements exist in parallel documents/files/data strips. Geologists, primarily.
Preconditions
Can assume that a strip log and companion petrophysical log both exist in a loadable format (e.g., LAS) with depth-data relationships specified.
