SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires jq, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides access to digitized well log data from public geological survey repositories, primarily the Kansas Geological Survey (KGS), enabling detailed subsurface analysis.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Search and Retrieve Well Logs: Query KGS database by county or API number to find available wireline logs.
  • Download LAS Files: Obtain LAS 2.0 format files for detailed log curve analysis.
  • Use Case: A petroleum engineer needs to evaluate formation properties in a specific Kansas county. They can use this Skill to find wells with available gamma ray, resistivity, and porosity logs, download the data, and begin formation evaluation.

Quick Start

Find all available well logs for wells in Russell County, Kansas.
