Total Organic Carbon (TOC) calculation from well logs

This app allows you to estimate TOC content for source rock, using EXXON method, published by Passy et. al. (1990).  TOC is critical parameter for quantifying unconventional reseources, CBM or Shale gas. The adsorbed gas content is a correlation with TOC, derived from lab measured data.

The estimated TOC is best to calibrate with lab measurement by adjusting the Level of organic maturity,LOM.  Vitrinite Reflectance (Ro) from lab may be available to derive LOM with graph below.
