Introduction
 Features

Introduction
WinLoG can be used to quickly create, edit and print geotechnical,
environmental, mining, water well, oil & gas, and transportation bore-
hole logs. The graphical windows interface displays the log as it is
changed and shows exactly how the log will look when it is printed.
Borehole and well logs can be printed in black and white or color.

The geographical information system feature added in version 4 dis-

plays a location map for the project showing the boreholes, cross-sec-
tions, and any surface features. This feature makes it easy to visualize
your project and can be used to print a location map of the project. To
edit a borehole all you need to do is click on it in the location map.

There are no limits to the number and types of borehole logs that can be
created with WinLoG. Logs can contain general borehole data (ex. loca-
tion, client, project number); lithologic descriptions and symbols; sam-
ple data; well completion details; water level measurements;
geophysical logs; and numerous graphs and text comments. Once a log
is created it can be easily copied using a toolbar button, and then edited
and saved to represent other boreholes on the same site.

Templates are used to control the layout and formatting of borehole

logs. In general, all of the boreholes in a project would use one or two
templates to format the logs. In this way a consistent format can be
established within a project and across projects. Once a template is cre-
ated it is available to all projects.

The program comes with several easily customized templates, which

can be edited and saved as new templates. Each template consists of a
header, footer, and several columns. Templates can be customized to
display different header and footer titles, number and type of columns,
and fonts. In addition, the size and location of the above can be easily
changed using the mouse. A company logo or site map, stored as a
bitmap can also be included in a template.

WinLoG User’s Guide iii

 Introduction

Legends can be created and customized to shown lithologic symbol,

well symbol, and sample symbol definitions. These legends can then be
printed for inclusion with the borehole logs.

Borehole log, template, and legend data is stored in Microsoft Access

databases. By storing the data in Microsoft Access databases, the data
can be easily extracted for use in other programs.

The program is designed around the project concept, where the user has
numerous projects and within each project there are numerous borehole
logs. Projects can be stored on one computer or numerous computers
within a network. A master database is used to keep track of projects
and their locations. A more detailed description of the database system
is provided at the end of this chapter and in Chapter 3.

Features

The WinLoG program has numerous features to make creating and

editing of borehole logs easier and faster. Most of the existing features
have been enhanced in Version 4 of the program, and many new fea-
tures have been added.

New Features

• Graphical Information System (GIS) for displaying and picking bore-

holes and cross-sections in Winlog with Winfence. GIS can also display
site features and import AutoCAD files.

• Project reports can be generated for all data in a project, for example:
o layer tops and thickness
o blow counts
o water content

• Deviated boreholes can be entered and displayed in true depth. Devia-

tion readings can be entered manually or imported from a file. Several
methods for calculating true depth are supported.

iv WinLoG User’s Guide

• Tables (ex. Water Level Readings) can be displayed on boring logs
and templates.

• Templates and projects can have password locks that can be used to
restrict changes to a template and access to a project.

• AGS format files can be imported and exported.

• gINT, LogPlot, and GTGS files can be imported.

• Data in Excel can be imported into all the logs in a project at the same
time. This can be used to import the survey data for all the boreholes
from a spreadsheet.

• Continuous logs are supported. These logs span several pages and do
not have any page breaks. They are usually printed on tracker feed
printers and are used for Geophysical and Mud logging applications

• Program can now automatically update itself to the most recent ver-
sion. The program searches GAEA Technologies website for any new
upgrades to winlog and upgrades the program if the agreed to by the
user.

• Program now has online technical support, where it can email techni-
cal support all relevant files and information if there is a problem.

• Borehole data can be exported to excel.

• Project databases can be compressed to save disk space and speed up

data access.

• A new column type has been added to support percent splits. This is
used to show the percentages of different lithologies in a layer.

• A new column type has been added to support core photographs. This
is used to show the pictures of cores or downhole images.

• All of the WinLoG databases (Project, Project List, Main Database)

are automatically backed up and can be easily restored.

Projects
Projects 3.
As discussed in the introduction, the WinLoG program is
based upon the project concept for data storage. Using
this method, a separate Microsoft Access 2000 database
is used to store each project for each application. Each
project is stored in a separate directory, which can be on
the same computer or spread across a network. The num-
ber of databases for each project will depend upon the
applications being used for that project. If for example,
the WinLoG and WinFence programs are being used with
the project, there will be two project databases.

The names of the project databases are the project name

combined with the application name. For example, if the
project name is "980205" then the project database name
for WinLoG would be "980205winlog.mdb". Typically,
this project would be stored in the subdirectory
"\980205".

In version 4, projects are displayed using a geographical

information system (GIS). The GIS displays a project
location map that can be used to display and edit bore-
holes and cross-sections (if WinFence has been pur-
chased). In addition, site features and AutoCAD files can
also be displayed. The project location map can also be
printed to be included with the boring logs.

WinLoG User’s Guide 83

 Projects

What is a map scale??

To make a map useful, mapmakers establish and indicate a consistent

relationship between size on the map and size in real life. This relation-
ship is the map scale. For instance, a map may use one inch to represent
what is actually 24,000 inches on earth. Mapmakers express scale as a
mathematical ratio, or fraction. The unit on the map is expressed as the
number one (numerator). A scale of 1:24,000 would be read as "one to
twenty-four thousand." We cannot easily visualize a value such as
24,000 inches, so maps usually not only show the scale ratio but con-
vert the ratio to units of measurement. For example, a 1:24,000 map
can also be expressed as 1 inch = 2000 feet, or about four-tenths of a
mile.

When choosing a map, consider whether a small scale or large scale

suits your purposes better. A large-scale map shows a small land area in
great detail. And a small-scale map shows less detail, but a larger land
area. For instance, a USA national map is a much smaller-scale map
than a map showing the details of a specific county or zip code.

The following information can be entered and edited using this tab:

Scale Setting: This radio button allows the user to change the scale set-
ting to either a dimensionless ratio or to a given distance in metres.

Location Map Scale: This text box allows the user to enter the scale
they wish to have the location map drawn at. If the scale setting is at 1
unit: 50 units then for example 1 metre on the print out is equal to 50
metres in the real world. If the scale is 1inch = 25 feet then 1 screen
inch is equal to (12 * 25) = 300 inches in the real world.

Calculate Fit Scale/Coords: This button will calculate a scale that will
fit the specified coordinates within the screen area.

Input Units: Input units are the units that are stored in the database and
that locations one the screen are stored in.

Display Units: Display units are the units that are displayed on the
screen. For example, the input units from the database can be in metres
but the display units maybe feet.

Importing Version 3 and 4 Exchange Files

Exchange files are used to transfer borehole logs, templates, libraries

and legends between projects or to other companies. Version 3 and 4
exchange files are very similar and the method to import them is identi-
cal. The data in these files is stored as ASCII text in a similar format to
version1 and 2 files. After the data has been exported from another
project, it can then be imported into the current project.

Borehole Logs

Before importing a borehole log exchange file, the project where the
exchange file is going to be stored must be opened. To import a bore-
hole log that is stored in exchange file format, select the Log menu item

ation established to improve the profile and quality of geotechnical and
geoenvironmental engineering. Their web site is located at:

http://www.ags.org.uk/data transfer/Intro.cfm

The membership comprises UK organizations and individuals having a

common interest in the business of site investigation, geotechnics,
geoenvironmental engineering, engineering geology, geochemistry,
hydrogeology, and other related disciplines.

The purpose of the AGS Format is to provide a means of transferring

geotechnical and geoenvironmental data between parties. In order to
ensure the widest possible level of acceptance it was also agreed that
the Format should use the American Standard Code for Information
Interchange (ASCII).

To import as AGS file into Winlog select the Import AGS Data menu

Exporting to an AutoCAD File

A DXF file is a format designed by AutoCAD to exchange drawing

LoG the exchange format used is an ASCII file.

When the AutoCAD DXF menu item of the Export Version 3 Data sub-
menu is selected, the Export AutoCAD DXF File form below will be
displayed. Specify the file name to use and press the Save button.

The AutoCAD DXF format does not allow for the exchange of bitmaps
or Windows fonts. In addition, the color palettes used can vary depend-
ing upon the application. Because of these limitations with the format,
the exported logs will not contain any bitmap or font information, and
the colors may vary. All of the text in the log will be exported in
ROMAN font, and none of the bitmaps used to draw the soil symbols,
well seals, and packing, and sample types will be exported.

If you require this information in the exported file, it is recommended

that you export the log as a bitmap file or enhanced metafile instead.
The bitmap file or enhanced metafile can then be imported into Auto-
CAD.

Only borehole logs can be exported to DXF file format. Since legends
are primarily comprised of, bitmaps there is no facility to export them
to DXF format. It is recommended that legends be exported in bitmap
or enhanced metafile format and then imported if required.

Importing/Exporting Pocket WinLoG Data

Pocket WinLoG is a separate program sold by GAEA Technologies that
is used on Pocket PCs. Pocket WinLoG can be used to collect boring
and well information in the field with a minimum of data entry. After
the data has been collected it can be uploaded or emailed to a desktop
computer and imported into WinLoG.

This method of data collection eliminates the need to record boring and
well information on paper forms in the field and then enter the data into
WinLoG at the office.

As in the desktop version of WinLoG, the program is designed around

the project concept for storing log data. This concept allows the user to
have numerous projects and an unlimited number of logs within each
project. When it is time to upload the log data to the desktop version of
WinLoG, the data can be imported on a log by log basis or an entire
project at once.

The types of data collected for a boring or well log are controlled by
the template. These templates are the same as those used in the desktop
version of WinLoG, and can be downloaded from the desktop version at
any time. The template specifies the types of general borehole data
(header and footer data), sample other data, remark, well, and graph
data. In general all of the boring and well logs in a project would use
one or two templates, creating a consistent data format for the project.

To minimize the amount of data entry for a boring and well log, lithol-
ogy and well macros can be created on the desktop and downloaded to
Pocket WinLoG.

Synchronizing Pocket WinLoG

Pocket WinLoG can be easily synchronized with the desktop version of

WinLoG on your PC. Synchronizing Pocket WinLoG will make sure
that any data created in Pocket WinLoG is copied to the desktop. In
addition, any templates, symbol libraries, or macros exported in the
desktop version of WinLoG will be available to Pocket WinLoG. When
you update a file on either your PC or your Pocket PC, the file is
updated in the other location the next time you synchronize.

The process of synchronization is performed by Microsoft ActiveSync,

which must be running on the desktop computer. This program is usu-
ally provided with the Pocket PC. If you do not have this program or
require the latest version it can be downloaded free from the Microsoft
web site at:

http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/downloads/activesync35.asp

To have ActiveSync synchronize the files for Pocket WinLoG, select

the synchronize Files option in ActiveSync. When you select the Files
option, a folder called “Pocket_PC My Documents” is created on the
desktop. Where “Pocket_PC” is the name of the ActiveSync partner-
ship that was specified when the Pocket PC was first connected to the
desktop. For more information on partnerships review the ActiveSync
help.

When Pocket WinLoG is installed the data files are automatically

stored in the “Winlog” subfolder of the “My Documents” folder on the
Pocket PC. When the synchronize Files option is turned on in
ActiveSync this folder on the Pocket PC will be synchronized with the
same folder on the desktop. Any data entered in Pocket WinLoG will
then be automatically copied to the desktop, and any data exported
from the desktop version of WinLoG (templates, symbol libraries, and
macros) will be automatically copied to the Pocket PC.

In order to exchange data between the desktop version of WinLoG and

Pocket WinLoG, the “Pocket WinLoG Directory” in the desktop Win-
LoG program Preferences must be set to the “Winlog” subfolder of the
“Pocket_PC My Documents” folder used by ActiveSync.

Creating and Editing Lithologic Macros

Lithology macros are used to insert previously defined titles, text and
symbols into lithologic layers. By using lithology macros borehole logs
can be created faster and more consistently. Logs created using lithol-
ogy macros can also be more easily and accurately used for the auto-
generation of cross-sections in WinFence version 2. For a description
on how to insert a lithology macro in a layer, see Chapter 4. An unlim-
ited number of lithology macros can be stored in the WinLoG program.

To create and edit lithology macros, select the Lithology Macros menu
item from the File menu. The Lithology Macros form on the next page
will be displayed. The following information can be entered on this
form:

Logs
Borehole
Logs
4.
Borehole logs are used to display the results of oil and
gas, mining, geotechnical and environmental drilling and
sampling. Logs can be used to display soil, rock, and ice
samples. Using WinLoG, there are no limits to the types
of borehole logs that can be created. In WinLoG the term
borehole logs also includes boring logs and well logs.

Borehole logs are grouped into projects and are stored in

the WinLoG project database. The format of the project
database is Microsoft Access. Each project is stored in a
separate directory, which can be on the same computer or
spread across a network. For a detailed discussion of the
database structure, see Database Structure in the Intro-
duction Chapter or Appendix B.

Logs can contain general borehole data (ex. location,

client, project number); lithologic descriptions and sym-
bols for each layer; sample data; well completion details;
water level measurements; geophysical logs; and numer-
ous graphs and text columns. Once a log is created it can
be easily copied using a toolbar button, and then edited
and saved to represent other boreholes on the same site.

This chapter describes how to:

1. Create a new borehole log

2. Enter and edit the following infor-
mation:
- General borehole data

158 WinLoG User’s Guide

 General Borehole Data

General Borehole Data

The General Borehole Data for a log includes information about the
borehole number, X and Y coordinates, well symbol, text and memo
information. Text and memo information can include information such
as project name, location, client, date, drill method, etc. The difference
between text data and memo data is that there is no limit to the length
of memo data and memo data can contain rich text.

General Borehole data is usually displayed in the header and footer of

the log. The template being used determines the location of the data.
Unlike previous versions of WinLoG, the general data is now tied to the
type of data in the template. This way if the template is edited or a dif-
ferent template is used the data will move depending upon the location
within the template. For example, if the data is for the location of the
borehole and in the template the location is the first line of the header.
If later the template is edited and the location is moved to the third line
of the footer, when the borehole log is displayed the location will show
up in the third line of the footer.

To edit the general borehole data and display the Borehole Data form
on the next page either:

- select the Borehole Data menu item from the Edit menu;
- right click the mouse button and select the Borehole Data menu item
from the popup menu; or
- click the left mouse button inside the header or footer of the borehole
log.

The Borehole Data form has three tabs that can be used to enter and
edit general borehole data.

 Depths and Elevations

Depths and Elevations

Before entering any log data in the main block of the log, the borehole
depth should be entered. The borehole depth is usually (depending
upon the template) displayed in a column in the main block of the log.
There is no limit to the depth of a borehole log. The depth entered must
be in the same units as the input units for the template.

The depth and elevation parameters of the borehole log can be entered
and edited by selecting the Depths & Elevations menu item of the Edit
menu or clicking the left mouse button inside the depth or elevation
column of the borehole log. After performing one of the above tasks,
the Depth and Elevation form below will be displayed. This form has
two tabs, one for depth information, and one for elevation information.

Depth Tab
The Depth tab shown above is used to enter and edit the following

information:

Start Depth: This is the start depth of the borehole, normally equal to
0 for ground surface. If you would like to show an aboveground well
cover or "stick-up", enter a negative number. The units can be in either
feet or meters depending upon the template settings.

WinLoG User’s Guide 167

 Borehole Logs

End Depth: This is the bottom depth of the borehole in the same units
as specified in the template settings. There is no limit to the depth of
the borehole.

Depth/Page: The vertical scale of the borehole log can be specified as

a depth per page or as a depth scale. The depth per page specified in the
template normally determines the plot depth per page; however, this
can be overridden in the log by specifying a depth per page here. This
feature allows you to change plot depths per page without changing the
template. To accept the default template plot depth per page, specify the
plot depth per page as zero when editing the log.

Depth Scale: The vertical scale of the borehole log can be specified as
a depth per page or as a depth scale. The depth scale specified in the
template normally determines the vertical scale; however, this can be
overridden in the log by specifying a depth scale here. This feature
allows you to change depth scales without changing the template. To
accept the default template depth scale, specify the depth scale as zero
when editing the log.

Elevation Tab

Borehole log elevations are usually (depending upon the template) dis-
played in a column in the main block of the log. If the elevation of the
ground surface is entered, the program will automatically calculate and
draw the elevations of all the lithologic layer boundaries in this column,
or draw elevation tic marks depending upon the template. The units
used to enter the elevations must be the same as the input depth units of
the template.

The Elevation tab shown on the next page is used to enter and edit the
following information:

Elevation: The elevation of the borehole at ground surface in the same

units as specified in the template.

168 WinLoG User’s Guide

 Lithology

No Elevation Data: If checked only the depths at each layer boundary

will be shown. Otherwise, both the depth and elevation will be shown
at each layer boundary.

Lithology

Lithologic layers are used to indicate the subsurface strata encountered

during drilling. Boreholes can contain an unlimited number of litho-
logic layers. A lithologic layer primarily consists of:

- an optional name (up to 255 characters),

- an optional title (up to 255 characters),
- description (no limit on the number of characters),
- a top depth,
- an optional bottom depth,
- the symbol to use for the layer, and
- the line style to use for the top of the layer.

The bottom depth of the lithologic layer can either be specified or the
top depth of the next lithologic layer is used. The lithologic descrip-
tions are usually displayed in a Description column and the lithologic
symbols are usually displayed in a Symbol column.

WinLoG User’s Guide 169

 Borehole Logs

The lithology of the borehole log can be entered and edited by selecting
the Lithology menu item of the Edit menu or clicking the left mouse
button inside the lithology description or lithology symbol columns of
the borehole log. After performing one of the above tasks, the Lithol-
ogy List form below will be displayed.

The following information can be entered and edited using this form:

Top: This is the top depth of the layer and should be between the start
and end depths of the borehole.

Bottom: The bottom depth of the layer is optional. If it is not specified

or is less than the top depth, the top depth of the next layer is used.

Symbol: This is the symbol used for the layer in the Lithology Symbol
column. The symbol can be changed by clicking on it with the left or
right mouse buttons. For more information see the section on Changing
the Lithologic Symbol below.

Name: This is the strata name for the layer selected from the list of
lithologic macros. It is used to quickly fill in the symbol, title, and
description of the layer using the information specified in the lithology
macro. It is also used in WinFence version 2 to quickly and accurately
automatically generate strata for the cross-section.

170 WinLoG User’s Guide

 Lithology

If the template for the borehole log specifies the Title Edit mode as
“Text” for the lithology description column (see Chapter 5) and the
location map specifies that “All layer information” is to be used for
automatically generating cross-sections, the Name column will not
appear on this form. For more information see the section on Selecting
Strata Names below.

Title: The optional name of the layer (up to 255 characters) is displayed
above the description.

Description: The description is used to describe the lithology of the

layer. There is no limit to the length of the description. At the left of the
form there is a Rich Text toolbar that is used to format the description,
add symbols, insert lithology macros, and perform spell checking on
the description. The use of the Rich Text toolbar is described section
below on Specifying the Lithology Description.

Top Line Style: This is the line style to be used for the top layer
boundary. If the bottom depth is specified this line style is also used for
the bottom boundary. When the line is clicked on in the column a Line
Properties form is displayed. This form is used to set the line style,
thickness, and color. The line style can be set to none to display no line
at the boundary.

The column widths on the form can be adjusted by sliding the

Selecting Strata Names

The strata name for the layer can be used to quickly fill in the symbol,
title and description of the layer from a list of previously defined strata
referred to as Lithologic Macros. These strata names can also be used
later by WinFence to automatically generate the strata for a cross-sec-
tion.

If the template for the borehole log specifies the Title Edit mode as
“Text” for the lithology description column (see Chapter 5) and the
location map specifies that “All layer information” is to be used for
automatically generating cross-sections, the Name column will not
appear on the Lithology List form.

If the “Use Strata Names Only” option is selected on the location map
for automatically generating cross-sections, the Name column will
appear on the Lithology List form, regardless of the setting for the Title
Edit mode in the template. The strata names selected for each layer in
this situation will have to be unique for each layer. By using this option
and specifying unique strata names, the auto-generation of the strata in
the cross-section by WinFence will be almost perfect.

Sample Data

Soil, rock, ice, and other samples are generally taken with split-spoon
samplers, Shelby tubes, Core Barrels, etc. at various depths of the bore-
hole. These samples are later used for detailed identification, lab analy-
sis, and other purposes. An unlimited number of samples may be
entered into a borehole log.

The samples of the borehole log can be entered and edited by selecting
the Samples menu item of the Edit menu or clicking the left mouse but-
ton inside one of the sample columns of the borehole log. After per-
forming one of the above tasks, the Sample Data form below will be

Blows/ft: This is the blow count or N-Value of the sample. When enter-
ing N-Value data a line break can be added to the data by specifying a
"/" between data values (e.g. 12/18/16/22). In addition, the 4 N-Values
normally specified, can be spaced equally across the column by speci-
fying a "^" at the beginning of the data. If the N-Value is left blank or
specified as "NA" then it will not be plotted on the SPT graph (if there
is an SPT graph in the log).

Recovery:This is the sample recovery, usually expressed as a percent-

age or as a length measurement. Depending upon the template settings
the recovery can be represented on the log as text or as a shaded box
that covers the specified portion of the sample interval. For example, if
the recovery were 75% then a box covering 75% of the sample interval
would be drawn.

Other: In addition to the above data, other types of data can be

entered for each sample. The number of other data types and the names
for this data is specified in the template. Other data is stored and dis-
played as text strings (up to 255 characters each). The name of the

 Borehole Logs

Well Data

WinLoG can display a wide variety of wells at varying levels of detail

and complexity. Monitoring, extraction, injection, and almost any other
type of well can be displayed on the borehole log. Well completion
details and data can be displayed graphically in one or more columns of
the borehole log. The borehole log can contain an unlimited number of
well columns. In addition, depending upon the type of well column, the
well may contain an unlimited number of casings and piezometers.

The style and input for monitoring wells has been changed significantly
in this version of the WinLoG program. These changes were made to
allow for greater flexibility and accuracy in drawing and annotating
wells. In order to maintain compatibility with previous versions of the
program, three different types of monitoring well columns can be speci-
fied in a template.

Well Type 1 columns were first introduced in version 1 of the program

and can be used for very simple well displays. All of the well informa-
tion is represented by bitmaps, which can be customized by the user.
This type of well column cannot be used for wells with multiple
piezometers or varying casing diameters, and cannot contain annota-
tion.

Well Type 2 columns were first introduced in version 2 of the program

and can be used for more complicated well displays. All of the cas-
ings/screens and fittings are drawn to scale by the program. This type
of well column can be used for wells with varying casing and screen
diameters, but cannot contain multiple piezometers or annotation.

Well Type 3 columns are a new feature in this version of WinLoG and
can be used to represent complicated well details. Almost all of the well
information is drawn to scale; including casings, screens, covers, caps,
and miscellaneous fittings. This type of well column can contain multi-
ple piezometers, casings, and screens with variable diameters, annota-
tion, and multiple water depths. Besides being able to represent very
complicated wells, this type of well column is also very easy to use and
is recommended for most well displays.

184 WinLoG User’s Guide

 Well Data

The data for each well column is grouped into datasets and stored
according to the name of the well column. This allows for the display
of more than one set of well data on a borehole log. If the name of the
well column in the template is changed after the data is entered, the
dataset will no longer be displayed in that column. You can change the
name of the well dataset for the log to that in the template as described
below.

When a new borehole log is created, well datasets will be automatically

created for whatever well columns are specified in the template. The
names of these well datasets will appear in the Well Data submenu of
the Edit menu. It is also possible to create additional well datasets or
delete well datasets as described below

Adding A Well

To add a new well dataset to a borehole log select the Add Well menu
item of the Well Data submenu of the Edit menu. The Add Well Name

Component: This is the type of well component. When the cursor is

placed within this column, a combo box will be displayed. By clicking
on the arrow to the right of this box, the type of component can be
selected. The types of components that can be selected are Cover, Cap,
Joint/Misc., Casing/Screen, Seal/Packing, and Bottom Seal.

Start Depth:This is the start depth of the component in the same units
as set in the template.

End Depth:This is the end depth of the component

Inner Diameter: This is the inner diameter of the component. It is only

used for Seal and some Casing/Misc. components. These components
will be drawn such that the shading and symbol patterns will fill the
gap between the inner and outer diameters of the component. The com-
ponents that use the inner diameter are discussed under the appropriate
symbol at the end of this section.

WinLoG User’s Guide 199

 Borehole Logs

Outer Diameter: This is the outer diameter of the component and is

used by all of the types of components. The outer diameter must be less
than the hole diameter. The width of the component inside the well col-
umn is determined by the ratio of the outer diameter and hole diameter.
For example; if the outer diameter is 2 inches and the hole diameter is 8
inches, then the components width would be ¼ of the hole width.

Offset: This is the offset of the component from the center of the hole.
Offsets to the left are negative and offsets to the right are positive. By
specifying an offset to the component, multiple casings and piezome-
ters can be placed within a single well column. For example; to specify
two piezometers in a hole 10 inches in diameter. One piezometer could
have an offset of -3 inches and the other piezometer could have an off-
set of 3 inches. The first piezometer would then be between 2 and 4
inches on the left side of the hole, and the second piezometer would be
between 2 and 4 inches on the right side of the hole.

Symbol: This is the symbol to use for the component. The symbols
available will vary depending upon the type of component. When the
cursor is clicked inside this column one of the forms below will be dis-
played, depending on the type of component.

Cover: If the type of component is Cover then the Well Cov-

ers form on the next page will be displayed. Using this form
the foreground color, line width, and symbol of the well cover
can be selected.

vertical and horizontal borders, and symbol for the seal or
packing. The line style used for the vertical and horizontal
borders is set in the Layout tab. If the component is not a Bot-
tom Seal and the inner diameter is specified, these symbols
will fill the gap between the inner and outer diameter with the
selected symbol. A Bottom Seal will fill everything between
the outer diameter and any interior components with the
selected symbol.

Joint/Misc.:If the type of component is Joint/Misc. then the

Joints/Miscellaneous form on the next page will be displayed.
This form is used to select the foreground and background col-
ors, line width, and symbol. The first 6 symbols are used to
represent couplings between pipes. All these couplings except
for the 4th and 6th, will use the inner diameter as the bottom
diameter of the connector. The bottom 6 symbols can be used
for packers, sampling ports, cables, tubes, probes, and bailers.
Of these 6 symbols, only the packer uses both the inner and
outer diameters of the component.

A specially designed font is provided with the WinLoG program for use
with this column. The font is called GAEA Structures and is shown
below.

Graph Data

Graph data can be used to display any information that varies with
depth; such as shear strength, water content, hydraulic conductivity,
contaminant concentrations, volatile hydrocarbon readings, etc. There
is no limit to the number of graphs that can be displayed in a borehole.
Each graph can contain an unlimited number of points.

There are three types of graphs that can be used to display data. These
are single graphs, double graphs, and bar graphs (histograms). The type
of graph and its display format are set in the template.

In addition to the graphs above, borehole logs can contain SPT and
Water Content graphs. SPT graphs are used to display the N-Values
entered in the Sample Data. These graphs are generated automatically
by the program. Water Content graphs are used to display water con-
tents and Atterberg limits. The data entry for Water Content graphs is
described in the Water Content section below.

Graph data can be entered and edited by selecting the Graph Data sub-
menu of the Edit menu and the selecting the name of the graph or by

size and then the symbol is drawn. For example, a fill size of 2 will
result in the symbol being doubled in size. The fill size must be greater
than 0.

Top Line Style: The Top Line Style button is used to change the line
style for the top sample boundary in the symbol column. If the bottom
depth of the sample is specified this line style is also used for the bot-
tom boundary. When the button is pressed, the Line Properties form
described in the Description tab is displayed. If the Same as Descrip-
tion box is checked, the line style will be set to the same as set in the
Description tab for the sample.

Geophysical Data

A wide variety of geophysical logs can be displayed as graphs. An

unlimited number of geophysical logs can be displayed in a borehole
log, and there is no limit on the number of points each geophysical log
can contain. A column can contain either one or two geophysical logs,
which is set in the template for the log.

To display a geophysical log in a borehole log, it the file containing the

geophysical log must be imported. After the file has been imported, the
geophysical data can be displayed and edited. Any editing of the geo-
physical data will only affect the imported data, and will not affect the
original data in the geophysical file.

Importing Geophysical Data

If no geophysical data has previously been imported for the column,

click on the geophysical column on the log to import data or select the
Add Geophysical Log menu item from the Geophysical Data submenu.

If the Add Geophysical Log menu item is selected the form below will
be displayed. Enter the name of the geophysical log and press the Ok
button.

 Borehole Logs

The Import Geophysical Log form below will be displayed. Select the
file containing the geophysical log and then press the Open button.

Once the file name has been specified the format of the geophysical log
needs to be selected from the Geophysical File Type form shown
below. Several types of file formats are shown, if the format of your log
is not shown try to use the Generic ASCII format; otherwise, contact
GAEA to see if support for that format can be added. Select the format
of the geophysical log file and then press the OK button.

Depending upon the format of the geophysical file, you will then be
prompted to select which curve (gamma ray, resistivity, SP, etc.) in the
file to display. Some geophysical file formats support multiple curves
in one file.

The following information can be entered on this form:

Column Format: The file can have either the depths in readings in
columns or only the readings in a column. If the column format is
"Depths and Readings" the depths of the data points will be extracted
from the depth column. If the column format is "Readings Only"the
depths of the data points will be calculated using the specified start
depth and increment.

Number of Header Lines: This is the number of header lines in the

file to skip before reading the data from the columns.

Number of Columns: This is the number of data columns in the file.

Reading Column: This is the number of the column (starting with col-
umn 1 at the left side of the file) that has the readings.

Depth Column: This is the number of the column that has the depths.
If the Column Format is "Readings Only", this field will not be dis-
played.

Start Depth: This is the start depth to use for the readings. If the Col-
umn Format is "Depths & Readings", this field will not be displayed.

Depth Interval: This is the depth interval to use between readings. If

the Column Format is "Depths & Readings", this field will not be dis-
played.

In order to save time and memory when displaying geophysical data,

the data can be resampled at the time it is imported into the borehole
log. After the log type is selected, the Resample Data form on the next
page will be displayed

Lithologic Cross Plots

Lithologic cross-plots are used to show the relationship between lithol-

ogy and a depth dependent variable (for example, porosity, lead con-
tent, resistivity). A graph, a bar graph, or a geophysical log can
represent the depth dependent variable. The cross-plot is generated by
filling the region on the left side of the curve formed by the graph, bar
graph, or geophysical log with the lithology symbols for each layer.

Other then setting the column type in the template to a lithologic cross-
plot, the editing of data for cross-plots is identical to that of graphs, bar
graphs, and geophysical logs. These types of editing are discussed
above and are not repeated here.

An example of a lithologic cross-plot using a gamma ray geophysical

log is provided on the next page.

 Borehole Logs

Deviation Survey Data

A new feature added to Winlog Version 4 is the ability to represent

deviated boreholes.

What is a deviated borehole?

Boreholes are designed to obtain information in the third dimension, ie.

at depth, below the two-dimensions of the earth's surface. Today it is
relatively easy to determine position on the surface, but not so at depth.
Unfortunately, all too often, the path of the hole is erroneously assumed
to follow the original dip (or inclination) and azimuth (or direction)
established at the collar, at the top of the hole. Numerous borehole sur-
veying devices have been developed, none of which are perfect, how-
ever quite accurate results are possible by using the right tool in the
right hole.

How is a borehole deviation survey accomplished?

A borehole deviation survey is usually accomplished by moving a

probe along the hole and sensing the movement of the probe relative to
one or more frames of reference which may include the earth's gravita-
tional field, magnetic field or other inertial reference, and/or by sensing
the distortion or bending of the housing of the probe itself. The differ-
ent methods each have their own advantages and limitations such as
ability / inability to operate inside steel casing, speed and complexity of
operation, accuracy, cost, distance between measurements, ruggedness
and reliability.

Setting The Deviation Calculation

Winlog provides five different calculations from which to calculate

borehole X,Y, and Z coordinates based on a deviation survey which
includes the measured depth, inclination angle, and the azimuth angle.
These include:

1) Average Angle method

2) Balanced Tangential method

268 WinLoG User’s Guide

 Deviation Survey Data

3) Minimum Curvature method

4) Radius Of Curvature method
5) Tangential method

The user can select which method Winlog uses to correct borehole
depths on the Deviation Survey tab of the Preferences form. To display
the Preferences form shown below, select the Preferences menu item
from the File menu

Editing Borehole Deviation Survey Data

Winlog allows the user to edit a Borehole Deviation Survey in the event
that there are some spurious points in the data. To edit the deviation
data select the Deviation Survey menu item from the Edit menu. This
will open the Deviation Survey Data form on the next page.

The Deviation Survey Data form allows the user to Add, Edit, or Delete
the deviation survey data. After the data has been edited, click Ok to
save the changes.

Templates
Templates 5.
Templates are used to control the layout and formatting
of borehole logs. In general, all of the boreholes in a pro-
ject would use one or two templates to format the logs. In
this way, a consistent format can be established within a
project and across projects. Once a template is created it
is available to all projects.

WinLoG comes with numerous easily customized tem-

plates, which can be edited and saved as new templates.
You can also create a new template by specifying the
desired layout. Each template consists of a header, footer,
several columns, bitmaps, lines, rectangles, and para-
graph text. Templates can be customized to display dif-
ferent header and footer titles, number, and type of
columns, fonts, colors, etc.

Templates can have a first and second page, where the

second page layout is different than the first page layout.
The second page will be used to format the second and
subsequent pages of a log.

Templates are stored in the WinLoG master database.

The format of the master database is Microsoft Access.
This database is stored in the Main Database Directory.

 Headers and Footers

Headers and Footers

The header and footer of the template are used to display general infor-
mation about the borehole. This includes information about the bore-
hole number, X and Y coordinates, text and memo information. Text
and memo information can include information such as project name,
location, client, date, drill method, etc. The difference between text data
and memo data is that there is no limit to the length of memo data and
memo data can contain rich text.

The header is usually located at the top of the page and the footer is
usually located at the bottom of the page. There are no limits to the
number of titles a header or footer can contain. Each title can be used to
display text data, memo data, or a checkbox in the borehole log.

The template is used to control what borehole information is displayed

in the header. Unlike previous versions of WinLoG, the general bore-
hole data is now tied to the type of data in the template. This way if the
template is edited or a different template is used the borehole data will
move depending upon the location within the template. For example, if
the data is for the location of the borehole and in the template the loca-
tion is the first line of the header. If later the template is edited and the
location is moved to the third line of the footer, when the borehole log
is displayed the location will show up in the third line of the footer.

To edit the header or footer and display the Template Header and
Footer Entry form shown below either:

- select the Header or Footer menu items from the Edit menu;
- right click the mouse button and select the Header or Footer menu
items from the popup menu; or
- click the left mouse button inside the header or footer of the template.

After one of the above tasks has been completed, the Template Header

Columns

The columns of the borehole log are used to display all of the depth-
related data. There is no limit to the number of columns that can be dis-
played in a borehole log. A wide variety of columns can be displayed in
WinLoG. Templates can contain multiple depth, text, graph, and well
columns. Below is a list of the different type of columns:

- depth,
- elevation,
- lithologic symbol,
- lithologic description,
- text,
- text interval,
- linked text interval,
- constituent,
- member,
- facies,
- symbol,
- sample number,
- sample type,
- sample symbol,
- sample N-value (blows/ft),
- sample recovery,

302 WinLoG User’s Guide

 Columns

- sample lithologic symbol,

- other sample data,
- type 1 well diagrams,
- type 2 well diagrams,
- type 3 well diagrams,
- Standard Penetration Test graph data,
- Water Content graph data,
- double graphs,
- single graphs,
- bar graphs (histograms),
- single geophysical graphs,
- double geophysical graphs.
- deviation survey
- percent cuttings
- core photo

The template is used to control what borehole data is displayed in the

columns. Unlike previous versions of WinLoG, the borehole data is
now tied to the type of data in the template. This way if the template is
edited or a different template is used the borehole data displayed in the
column will move depending upon the location within the template. For
example, the lab analysis data is displayed in the third column of the
template as text data. If later the template is edited and the lab analysis
is moved to the fifth column, when the borehole log is displayed the lab
analysis will show up in the fifth column.

To edit the a column and display the Columns form shown on the next
page either select the Columns menu item from the Edit menu or click
the left mouse button inside the column of the template.

The Columns form has two tabs; one for the columns and one for the
layout of the columns. If the template has two pages, this form will
have four tabs as shown below, two for the first page and two for the
second page. Data entry and editing for the second page is identical to
the first page, which is described in detail below.

It maybe advantageous for some companies to create templates that

have a password associated with them. In this way accidental editing of
templates could be avoided since only employees knowing the pass-
word to the template would be able to edit it.

This type of template password locking is accomplished by selecting

the Change Template Password menu item from the Templates sub-
menu of the File menu. The Change Password form on the next page
will be displayed.

WinLoG User’s Guide 353

 Templates

There are three editable fields on this form. These include:

Current Password: The current password of the template. If the tem-

plate doesn’t currently have a password then leave this blank.

New Password: The new password of the template. If you want to

remove the old password then set this to blank.

Confirm New Password: The new password again of the template. If

you want to remove the old password then set this to blank.

Opening a Password Locked Template

To open a template that has been password locked simply follow the
same procedure as a user would normally follow to open a Template.
Right click File, then Templates, then Open Template or use the Tem-
plate Toolbar to open the template. This will open up the Password
form on the next page if the template is password locked, otherwise the
template will open normally.

 Setting a Password for the Template

If the template is password locked, enter the password and click OK. If
the user enters the correct password they will be permitted to edit the
template otherwise the user is permitted to open the template with read
only access.

Legends
Legends 6.
Legends are used to provide descriptions for the litho-
logic symbols, well components, and sample symbols
shown in borehole logs. WinLoG comes with several pre-
viously defined legends. In addition, any number of new
legends can be easily created.

Legends can be customized to display different lithologic

symbol libraries, well component symbols, and sample
symbols. In addition, they can include bitmaps, and para-
graph text. A company logo and/or site map, stored as
bitmaps, can also be included in a legend.

Although you can use an unlimited number of lithologic

libraries (each with 18 symbols), only one library can be
represented on the legend. If you need to show more
libraries, it is recommended to create additional legends.
If more symbols are specified then can be fit on the page,
they will be truncated at the bottom of the page.

Each symbol also has a default symbol description stored

in the library, which is used when creating legends.
When a legend is created the default description will be
used for the symbol description in the legend. If this
description is then edited in the legend, the new descrip-
tion will only appear in that legend. The new description
in the legend will not replace the default description in
the library. To change the default description in the
library, the description must be changed in the library as
discussed in the next chapter. However, the actual sym-
bols are the same in the legend as in the library and if
edited in the legend the symbols in the library will
change as well.
 Legends

Legends are stored in the WinLoG master database. The format of the
master database is Microsoft Access 97. This database is stored in the
Main Database Directory. For a detailed discussion of the database
structure, see Database Structure in the Introduction Chapter or Appen-
dix B.

Libraries 7.
Libraries are used to store lithologic bitmaps that can be
used for the strata symbols. Each library contains 18
bitmap symbols. WinLoG log comes with several previ-
ously defined libraries. In addition, any number of new
libraries can be created, making the number of lithologic
symbols available unlimited.

Each symbol also has a default symbol description stored

in the library, which is used when creating legends.
When a legend is created the default description can be
used for the symbol description of the legend. If this
description is then edited in the legend, the new descrip-
tion will only appear in that legend. The new description
in the legend will not replace the default description in
the library. To change the default description the descrip-
tion must be changed in the library as discussed below.
However, the actual symbols are the same in the legend
as in the library and if edited in the library the symbols in
the legend will change as well.

Libraries are stored in the master project database so that

they are accessible by all programs. The format of the
master database is Microsoft Access 97. This database is
stored in the Main Database Directory.

In version 4, WinLoG can produce reports on borehole
data for a project. The reports can be on all of the bore-
holes or a subset of the boreholes. A variety of informa-
tion can be reported, and the format of the reports can be
customized.

These reports can be used to summarize and provide sta-

tistics on the boreholes within a project. The types of sta-
tistics and detailed information within the report can be
customized and depends on the type of report.

Getting Technical Support

GAEA offers a variety of services to help you with your questions and
problems. You will be automatically registered when you obtain an
unlock code for the program. Free technical support to registered users
includes assistance in the use of the software and in getting any bugs
you may find in the software fixed.

There are several ways you may contact technical support as discussed
below. In version 4 an automated technical support option has been
added. This is our preferred method since it provides us with the maxi-
mum amount of information to assist you.

Automated Technical Support

In version 4 of WinLoG, you can now send logs, templates, and data-
bases to GAEA for technical support automatically within the program
without having to first save them as exchange files.

To send the information to technical support select the Email Current

Log/Template menu item from the Help menu. The Email Support form
below will then be displayed.

The following information can be entered on this form:

Name: Your name.

Company: Your companies name.

WinLoG User’s Guide 429

 Help

Email:Your email address.

Phone: Your phone number.

Fax: Your fax number.

WinLoG Version: The version of WinLoG you are using. This should
be automatically filled in by the program.

Include Database Files: The include Database Files check box allows
you to include the database files you are currently working on. How-
ever, it should only be used if absolutely necessary since the database
files are very large and many email servers are unable to send them.

Operating System: Your computer’s operating system (i.e Windows

98, 2000, NT, XP, etc).

Error Description: A short description of your error. For example, the

user might get a floating point error and put that name in the descrip-
tion text box.

Detailed Description of Error: Enter a detailed description of the

error including what you were doing when you got the error, what
menu items you used, what data you were entering, and whether the
problem occurs all of the time or only occasionally.

The Send button will email the information to GAEA support when
you are finished filling out the form.

Other Methods to Contact Technical Support

To expedite support services, we prefer electronic communications,

through email or the Internet. These communications minimize the pos-
sibility for any mistakes, and allow us to better track your request. You
can email technical support by selecting the Email Technical Support
menu item from the Help menu. This menu item will create an email
message using your default email program.

Database
Structure
 Database Structure

Database Design
The WinLoG program has been designed around the concept of projects. A schematic of
the database structure is shown on the next page followed by a detailed description of all
the data fields. This data storage method allows for the expansion, archival, and network
administration of a large number of projects.

Using this method a separate Microsoft Access 97 database is used to store each project
for each application. Each project is stored in a separate directory, which can be on the
same computer or spread across a network. The number of databases for each project will
depend upon the applications being used for that project. If for example, the WinLoG and
WinFence programs are being used with the project, there will be two project databases

The names of the project databases are the project number combined with the application
suffix. For example, if the project number were "A980205" then the project database
name of the WinLoG data would be "A980205winlog.mdb". Typically, this project would
be stored in the subdirectory "\A980205".

A master project database, also in Microsoft Access 97 format, is used to keep track of the
projects and their locations on the network. This master project database is also used to
store data (such as symbol libraries and text macros) that is common to all projects and
applications. The name of the project master database is "gaeaprojects.mdb". The data-
base is stored in a directory specified by the user when the program is installed.

In addition to the master project database, separate application master databases are used
to store data that is common to all projects but specific to the application. A WinLoG
master database is used to store templates which can be accessed by all projects. The
name of this database is "winlog.mdb". All of the application master databases are stored
in the same directory as the master project database.

If the master databases are moved, the "Master Database Directory" in the program pref-
erences must be changed to reflect the new directory.
