Qualitative interpretation of old archival paper logging well data of the Western oil-gas region cannot be efficiently carried out without using of the special software or modules. This article demonstrates how to use computer technologies for digitizing, storing and visualization of archival paper well data and all available paper materials for geophysical well surveys. The purpose of this article is to characterize available software for digitizing, storing graphs of oil and gas fields wells logging data. To formulate the main advantages and disadvantages of software modules and solve the task of digitization of old well data and further using for reinterpretation for geological modelling. The target and novelty is to determine accessible software for fast and high-quality digitization and visualization of paper logging parameters graphs obtained from different areas of the Carpathian and Pre-Carpathian oil and gas regions. Well logging data is important for regional deep geological sections building, to clarify the deep geological structure of the study area, and to plan further research for the search for hydrocarbons. Digitization of old paper well data, visualization of logging parameters graphs, creation of wells database using computer technology allows to supplement the 3D geological model and reinterpretation the well logging data with minimal costs and taking into account the features of the deep structure. Geological and technological research, modern reinterpretation of old and new well data, is important for the formation of a comprehensive models for searching perspective areas for priority detailed research.
