Abstract
The lithological characterization of a rock layer crossed by a borehole and its identification in the neighbor wells (well correlation) in an oil field are of great importance for reservoir studies that aim to improve the volume of oil recovered. In spite of the actual drilling technology is not usual to core all boreholes in a field and an alternative manner to deal with it is to use well log data.
