Thickness Determinations for Volumetric Calcuations
What is the magic thickness???

Over the past 25 plus years, I have been amazed at how many people are not aware of the proper thicknesses derived from well log data that is required to generate a net sand and net pay map for volumetric calculations. In performing various quizzes around the world to thousands of geoscientist and engineers, the statistical average of people who get the correct answers on these types of quizzes runs about 50%.
