Clay Volume (VCLAY)

This is an acronym for a well log used in the oil and gas industry. The code VCLAY is a unique identifier to recognize this particular log and can be found in any (ASCII) log files provided by the logging company. The full name for this log used in the industry is 'Clay Volume'. This log is very common in the industry.

The values of this log represent the volume fraction of clay as calculated, measured or inferred from formation properties.

Simply said, this is a log that describes the ratio of the volumes occupied by two components, or by one component to the total volume of the system.

This log usually has the unit 'Standard Volume Ratio'.

Data from this log can be used to investigate the volume fraction of the formation. Similar logs are listed below:
