Well Log Digitizing
Software
Raster & TIFF to LAS · First Log Free
Nspect is well log digitizing software for oil and gas teams. Digitize well logs from scanned raster and TIFF images into digital well logs in LAS, with automated trace extraction, rigorous QC and industry-standard export. It is a modern NeuraLog alternative for teams that need production throughput, not desktop bottlenecks.
The 480x figure is from our February 20, 2026 benchmark for automated extraction compared with manual tracing. It excludes human QC and corrections; total delivery time varies by log and review scope. This is a benchmark result, not a turnaround guarantee.
Well Log Digitizing Services: Send Logs, Get LAS
Oil and gas well log digitizing, priced by the log. Have a few logs and no time to set up a project? Upload the scans and get LAS back.
- Upload: Drag and drop raster or TIFF logs at nthds.com/upload. Nspect traces the curves.
- Logs we digitize: Scanned oil and gas well logs: wireline curves such as SP, gamma ray and resistivity, and mud logs.
- Price: $35 a log for logs you already have. New accounts get $35 of credit, so the first log is free.
- Mud logs: $50 a mud log, delivered with mud weights tied to depth. Full extraction of hydrocarbon indicators and annotations is available.
- Tracing: Hand tracing takes 4 to 6 hours a log. Nspect does it in minutes.
- A whole archive: Request a demo and we'll scope it with you.
Well Log Scanning and Digitizing: From Paper to LAS
Well log scanning turns a paper log into a picture. Digitizing turns that picture into curve values your software can load. Nspect does the digitizing.
- Already scanned: Upload TIFF, PDF, JPEG or PNG, one file or 100+ at a time. Rotated, faded and photocopied pages are accepted.
- Still on paper: Paper and film logs are scanned to TIFF or PDF first. Scan at a resolution good enough to digitize from: the header, the depth labels and every curve should be readable on screen.
- Which well log scanner: Nspect works from the image, whichever scanner made it: a TIFF or PDF from a log scanner or a scanning service, or a JPEG from a phone.
How to Digitize Well Logs: Scanned Image to LAS
Nspect processes your well logs through a five-stage pipeline. AI handles the heavy lifting - your team handles the QC.
Precision Curve Tracing
Nspect extracts curve traces from raster images for review against the original. Accuracy varies with scan quality and layout. Use side-by-side QC to inspect overlapping traces, scale wraps, and degraded sections before you approve the LAS export.
Built for Production Well Log Digitization
Automated Trace Extraction
AI-powered curve tracing converts raster log images into digital data points. Review extracted curves against the source image and correct scale, wrap, and overlap issues before export.
Quality Control Workflows
Built-in QC pipeline validates extracted traces against expected ranges. Flag anomalies, review side-by-side with the source image, and approve with audit trails.
Interactive Scale Editor
Define track boundaries, set depth ranges, and calibrate scales directly on the log image. Precision tools for handles, grids, and curve alignment.
LAS & CSV Export
Export digitized data in industry-standard LAS 2.0 format or CSV. Ready for import into Petrel, Kingdom, Techlog, or any interpretation software.
Multi-Project Management
Organize wells by project, assign team members, track digitization progress with status dashboards, and manage deliverables at scale.
Team Collaboration
Multiple users can work on the same project simultaneously. Role-based access controls, vendor assignment tracking, and complete audit trails keep everything organized.
Digital Well Logs in Industry-Standard Formats
Digitized data exports directly into the formats your interpretation software expects. No conversion. No middleware. No surprises.
No log for the well you need? Find digital well logs on NDEX and buy available LAS by the well.
LAS 2.0
Industry-standard well log format. Compatible with Petrel, Kingdom, Techlog, and all major interpretation platforms.
CSV
Universal tabular format for data analysis, custom processing, and import into spreadsheets or databases.
Batch Export
Export entire projects at once. Hundreds of wells packaged with proper headers, metadata, and QC status.
Deployment & Access Requirements
Discuss cloud or on-premise deployment with the team. Review your network restrictions, authentication, data retention, and processing requirements during technical scoping.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is NthDS Nspect?
Nspect is an AI-powered platform that digitizes raster well log images (TIFFs, PDFs, scanned documents) into structured digital data in industry-standard LAS format. It features automated trace extraction, quality control workflows, and multi-project management for processing thousands of wells at scale.
How do I digitize well logs?
Scan the paper log to TIFF or PDF, upload it, and Nspect traces the curves. Check each curve against the source image, correct exceptions in QC, then export LAS 2.0 or CSV.
How much does well log digitizing cost?
Logs you upload are $35 a log, and your own mud logs are $50 a mud log. New accounts get $35 of credit, so the first log is free. Archive-scale projects are scoped with the team.
Do you offer well log digitizing services, or only software?
Both. Upload logs and get LAS back at a price per log, or run Nspect with your own team for production digitizing. Request a demo to scope an archive.
Is there free well log digitizing software to download?
The hosted version of Nspect runs in the browser, so there is nothing to download or install. New accounts get $35 of credit, which covers the first log, and no card is required.
What file formats does Nspect support?
Nspect ingests TIFF, PDF, JPEG, and PNG raster log images and exports digitized data in LAS 2.0 and CSV formats, ready for import into Petrel, Kingdom, Techlog, or any interpretation software.
Do you scan paper well logs?
Nspect starts from a scanned image: TIFF, PDF, JPEG or PNG. Paper and film logs need to be scanned first, on any well log scanner or through a scanning service. Then upload the scans and get LAS back.
How accurate is the AI trace extraction?
Accuracy depends on scan quality and layout. Compare extracted traces with the source image and correct exceptions in the QC workflow before export.
Can Nspect be deployed on-premise?
Discuss on-premise deployment with the team. Technical scoping covers your archive, network restrictions, authentication, data handling, and review requirements before a deployment is agreed.
How fast is Nspect compared to manual digitization?
Our February 20, 2026 benchmark reported a 480x speedup for automated extraction compared with manual tracing. This describes extraction time, not total delivery time including human QC, corrections, and export. Turnaround depends on scan quality, curve complexity, and review scope; it is not an SLA.
