Abstract: To determine whether or not a correct continuous reproduction disk has been attached, and perform control in accordance with a determination result in a data reproduction process including a first information recording medium and a second information recording medium. A first root certificate transform value is calculated by applying a first transform function to data constituting a first root certificate recorded in the first information recording medium and a second root certificate transform value is calculated by applying a second transform function to data constituting a second root certificate recorded in the second information recording medium. Transform values based on first and second root certificates are compared. A process under execution is continued when the first and second root certificate transform values match. However, the process under execution is stooped or a warning is output when the first and second root certificate transform values do not match.

Abstract: The problem solved by this invention is to convert text information in a geology report to numerical values which reflects geological characteristics of a well's subsurface. Prior art referred above cannot be applicable to this problem. Since text information in the geology report is in the natural language form. This information is not widely used in this industry, due to the fact that the text information can be hardly extracted and summarized into numerical values and integrated into current physical geology models or statistical models. This invention makes the text information in geology report, which is often in a natural language form, easier to be integrated into current geology physical models or statistical models. Also, the numerical values extracted from the geology report can be integrated with other kinds of data, such as seismic data and well-logging data, to obtain more accurate and comprehensive analysis results.
