TGS Well Data Scanning & Digitizing Services

Introducing Well Data Scanning and Digitizing Services

Our well data scanning service converts hardcopy data into high-quality digital LAS formats, linking each dataset to a Unique Well Identifier (UWI) in our extensive database of over 4.2 million U.S. wells and 1.1 million international wells.

We’ve simplified the well data scanning process, streamlining it to deliver project-ready datasets with well locations relevant to your areas of interest. By adding metadata to each scan, clients can maximize the value of their datasets and quickly identify key wells in their project locations.

Well Data Scanning and Digitization Explained

We begin by receiving hardcopy well data, which undergoes rigorous processing and quality checks to ensure it is accurately converted into a high-quality digital format. Using advanced Neuralog scanners and TGS software, we import and refine the data images to meet industry standards. The digitized data can be transformed into a range of proprietary and commercial products, including Rasters, LAS, LAS+, Mud LAS, ARLAS, core data, dipmeter data, temperature data and pressure data, depending on the dataset provided. Each dataset is processed through a quality assurance system and a precise well allocation system, ensuring accurate linking to the corresponding well and delivering maximum value to our clients.
