During the long-term exploration and development of the oilfield, it is difficult to ensure that all well logging curves are measured by the same type of instrument, the same calibration standard and the same operation mode, For different wells, there must be systematic errors caused by these reasons. Therefore, in addition to environmental correction, it is necessary to standardise logging curves. In XJ oilfield, three logging companies use wireline logging and logging while drilling to complete logging, in multi-well logging interpretation. To eliminate the systematic errors of different measuring tools, to maximise the geological information reflected by logging curves, and to make logging interpretation follow the same standard as much as possible, it is necessary to standardise the logging curve in the whole oilfield. This article takes the standardisation of well 106 in XJ oilfield as an example, the standardisation of different methods was compared, the method of combining frequency histogram and mean variance is better.
