Clay Volume in 10 Minutes

PetrophysicsJuly 30, 2025

Clay Volume Estimation

Clay volume determination is one of the first steps in any petrophysical analysis and because it plays it factors into subsequent calculations like porosity and therefore water saturation it is important to get it right.

Danomics offers several options out-of-the-box such as Vclay from Neutron-Density, Gamma Ray (5 different methods), and SP methods. These can always be extended using our CPI config or by request.

In this video you will see how a standard analysis is conducted on a data set as well as a brief primer on why we care about clay volumes.

DCA: Type well curves

In this video I demonstrate how to generate a well set filtered by a number of criteria and generate a multi-well type curve. Before starting this video you should already know how to load your data and create a DCA project. If not, please review those videos. Type well curves are generated by creating a decline that represents data from multiple wells.

DCA: Loading Production data

In this video I demonstrate how to load production and well header data for use in a decline curve analysis project. The first step is to gather your data. You’ll need: Production data – this can be in CSV, Excel, or IHS 298 formats. For spreadsheet formats you’ll need columns for API, Date, Oil, Gas, Water (optional), and days of production for that period (optional). Well header data – this can be in CSV, Excel, or IHS 297 formats.
