Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Introduction to Geolog's Project Tutorial 2

 Project Overview

Geolog’s Project application is the "front end" of Geolog6. Project is an MDI

(Multiple Document Interface) application designed to graphically display your
project area as an aerial or plan view.

Project can be used to process large numbers of wells simultaneously—wells are not stored
in memory, and data is immediately processed and saved to the database. If the option to save
or discard changes is required, use Geolog’s Well application—only a few wells can be
opened consecutively, based on available memory.

In Project, you can:

• Specify wells and sections to limit processing.

• Specify datum settings to process a specific range of data.
• Create well and section lists.
• Map and manage wells, and display the well locations using a variety of
projections and basemaps.
• Copy or include wells from other projects.
• Display well deviation paths.
• Graphically draw and display lines of section, and select wells that will be
displayed in cross section using Geolog’s Section application.
• Display and modify details of wells via the Well Catalogue.
• Manage sections via the Section Catalogue.
• Query wells based on any specified well information.
• Import CGM displays such as contour maps, basemaps, or cultural features.
• Post values of selected logs/constants at well locations, and produce a color
grid of those values on the basemap.
• Launch other Geolog applications (e.g., Section, Well).

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Project Overview 3

 Step 1: The Project Interface

Procedure
This step will familiarize you with the Project interface, and specifying the data to process.
You will:

• Start Geolog’s Project application and become familiar with the initial display.
• Open various document views.
• Specify wells and sections (data) for processing using the menus.
• Set the datum for multiwell processing.
• Specify a default set for the current working session.

Exercise 1

Starting Project

1. If required, start Geolog and open the STARS project.

2. Start the Project application.

Your screen should look similar to Figure 1. The Project menu is the only
menu available, as data has not yet been specified for processing.

Figure 1: Typical display when Project is first opened

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 1: The Project Interface 4

 Exercise 2

Opening Document Views to Display Data

In this exercise, you will open several views to become familiar with the MDI and
the various ways in which Project displays data.

1. Select Project > View > New > Mapsheet.

At this point, no wells and/or sections have been specified for processing, so
a default mapsheet is opened which displays all wells in the project which
have X and Y locations. Geolog determines the size of the mapsheet using
the minimum and maximum X and Y values.

Title bar indicates no items specified for processing

Graphical display box

within presentation sheet

Default Title Block

Figure 2: Default Mapsheet

The default mapsheet contains a default title block in the bottom right corner
which displays information such as the project name, and the coordinate
system, scale and units currently being used.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 1: The Project Interface 5

 2. Select Project > View > Mapsheet... or Mapsheet > Open... to open the File
Select dialog box.

3. Open the stars_imp.map (stars_met.map if using metric or mixed units).

This is an example of a formatted mapsheet displaying background cultural,
seismic and permit information.

4. Select Project > View > Well Catalogue to open Geolog’s table format view
of all the wells in the project.
The Well and Section Catalogues are used as search and/or text editing
functions for the currently open project, and display details of the well
constants, and sets, comments and logs information, and section title, and
description.

5. Select Project > View > Xplot... to open the File Select dialog box.

6. Locate and open rho_nphi_gr.xplot.

Because wells have not been specified for processing, there is no data to
display on the crossplot.

Use Document buttons

to switch between views

Figure 3: No data displayed on Crossplot

7. Select Project > View > Close All to close all open document views (discard
changes, if prompted).

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 1: The Project Interface 6

 Exercise 3

Select (Limit) for Processing

During a Project working session, all, or only a selected set of wells and/or
sections in a project can be specified for processing. When the Project application
is started, a blank Project window is opened, and all wells in the currently open
project are available for display and selection in the Catalogues and/or on a
mapsheet. Sections must be selected for processing before they can be displayed
on a mapsheet.
Template creation, such as creating a crossplot, is also available. Processing is
NOT available (i.e., running modules, generating crossplots or histograms)
until wells and/or sections have been specified for processing.
In this exercise, you will learn how to specify wells and sections for processing
using the menus. In later exercises, you will learn how to specify for processing
using the Catalogues, and graphically select for processing using a mapsheet.

1. Select Project > Wells to Process... to open the Select Multiple dialog box
(see Figure 4).

Figure 4: Select Multiple Wells dialog box

2. To select the first 4 wells, click on ATLAS and drag down to DENEB.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 1: The Project Interface 7

 3. Click the Select button to add the wells to the Selection field, on the
right (see Figure 5).

Figure 5: Select Multiple Wells dialog box with selections

4. Click OK to specify the wells for processing.

5. Select Project > Sections to Process and select the botein_capella

section for processing—double click on the name to add it to the Selection field.

6. Select Project > View > New > Mapsheet.

7. Select Project > View > Xplot... to open the File Select dialog box.

8. Locate and open rho_nphi_gr.xplot.

9. Select Project > Wells to Process and deselect all wells by clicking on the

Deselect All button.

10. Click OK. Observe the change to the crossplot display.

11. Click the mapsheet Document button to make the mapsheet display active,
(see Figure 3). Two wells (Botein and Capella) remain displayed because
they are associated with the section specified for processing.

12. Select Project > Sections to Process and remove the section specified for
processing. Note the change to the mapsheet display.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 1: The Project Interface 8

 13. Add and remove other wells/sections for processing, noting the changes to
the displays.

14. Why does the mapsheet not display some wells/sections correctly?

15. Close all open document views (discard changes).

Exercise 4

Datum
Use this option to set specifications for multiwell processing. The following steps
explain how to set and save a specification. Applying a saved specification is
covered in further detail in the Well tutorial.

1. Specify ALL wells for processing.

2. Select Project > Default Datum...

The specification is saved to the project’s specs directory as
<filename>.datum.

9. Click OK.

10. Click OK to close the Datum dialog box.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 1: The Project Interface 11

 Exercise 5

Default Set
Upon initial installation, the default set for use in Geolog is WIRE, and is the
default set when opening a Geolog application. This can be changed by your
Systems Administrator, if required. Geolog will select logs from the default set
when a set is not specified, and search the default set first when attempting to find
and display logs.
You can change the Default Set within each application for the current working
session. The default set specified in Project determines the default set when
starting other applications from Project (e.g., when Tools > Well... is selected from
the Project menu bar), and the default set to use when running modules
(discussed in "Multiwell Processing" on Page 13).

1. Select Project > Default Set...

2. Select FORMATION.

3. Click OK. Note the Set name, FORMATION, is displayed in the Title Bar.

Default Layout
When a default layout is specified, that layout:
• Is opened whenever the Well application is launched from the Project
application.
• Is associated with new sections graphically created on a Mapsheet to display
well data in the Section application.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 1: The Project Interface 12

 Step 2: Multiwell Processing

Procedure
Multiwell processing capabilities are available in Project as well as the Well application. Where
a large numbers of wells are to be processed simultaneously, use the Project application, as
the wells are not stored in memory, and data is immediately processed, and saved to the
database. In Well, several wells can be loaded into memory, processed, and the changes
saved to the database or discarded, as required. You should use the Well application where
only a few wells need to be open at one time.

In this step, you will run the Vshale from GR module to calculate shale volume.

Exercise 1

Calculating Shale Volume from GR for Multiple Wells

This exercise is designed to familiarize you with using the Module Launcher when
processing data from multiples wells. Further information on using the Module
Launcher is covered in the Well Tutorial. See the online help for Xplot and
Frequency for information on multiwell processing in those applications.
The steps required to perform multiwell processing are:
— Specify the wells to process.
— Set the datum to limit the processing.
— Launch the required multiwell processing.

1. Select the TALITHA and VEGA wells for processing.

2. Set the Datum as follows:

Interval Log: TOPS.TOPS
Intervals: ALTHORPE FM
MALABAR FM
MT THORLEY FM

3. Set the Default Set to WIRE.

4. Select Petrophysics > Determin > Shale Volume > Gamma Ray to open
the vsh_gr module.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 2: Multiwell Processing 13

 Processing Type

Figure 8: Geolog’s Module Launcher displaying vsh_gr module

Only those cells displayed with a white background can be modified.

5. Change the values as shown in Figure 8:

Input Set/ Output Set: Leave as is. These fields display the Default Set,
and unless another set is specified, or a different set
is specified when entering values in the table, data is
obtained from/placed in these sets.
Sampling Control Log: Leave blank.
Processing Type: This column is only available when processing data
from multiple wells. Double click on the cell to
display and select from the following options:
P = Prefer Well Value
The default. If the well has a value, use it;
otherwise, use the screen value.
S = Screen Value Only
Always use the value given on the screen and
ignore well values.
W = Well Value Only
Always use the value found in the well.

GR_MA: Enter the values shown in Figure 8.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 2: Multiwell Processing 14

 6. Leave all other values as is and click the Start button to run the module.

7. Close the Module Launcher.

Using the Module Launcher is covered in further detail in the Well Tutorial.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 2: Multiwell Processing 15

 Step 3: Working with Mapsheets

Procedure
In this step, you will learn how to work with mapsheets. You will:

• Graphically select and specify wells (data) for processing.

• Graphically select and/or save well and section lists for future use.
• Change the mapsheet view to display only specific objects.

Exercise 1

Graphical Select (Limit) for Processing

In this exercise, you will learn how to graphically select and then specify wells for
processing using the mapsheet.
Methods for selecting objects on a mapsheet:
To select one object Left click
To select several random objects CTRL+left click
To add/remove single objects to/from CTRL+left click
the selection
To quickly select a cluster of objects Left click drag to draw a box around the wells on the
graphical display; only those objects completely
within the box will be selected
To add a cluster of objects to a CTRL+left click drag (ensure objects are entirely
selection within box)
To add/remove a cluster of objects to/ CTRL+left click drag (ensure objects are entirely
from a selection within box)

Be Careful!
If you double click on a well in the graphical display, this launches Geolog’s Well application
for the well. If you double click on a section line, Geolog’s Section application is started and
the section is displayed.

If you middle click on a well, it will be duplicated. If you drag a well with the middle button, well
locations may be shifted.

If an error is made, select Edit > Undo immediately.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 3: Working with Mapsheets 16

 1. Specify NO wells for processing.

2. Open a new mapsheet. A default mapsheet is displayed for all wells in the
STARS project (similar to the one shown in Figure 2 on Page 5).

3. Zoom in on the wells in the centre of the mapsheet.

4. Left click drag to draw a box around PROCYON, GOMEISA, ELECTRA and

 Exercise 2

Creating Lists Using Graphical Selection

In this exercise, you will learn how to create well and section lists which can be
used to quickly select the required data to process. Note that well lists can then be
used throughout Geolog to quickly locate a specific well or wells (for instance,
when searching for a well to process in the Well application, or loading/unloading
wells in Connect).

1. Specify ALL wells for processing.

2. Zoom in on the area around the botein_capella section displayed at the

bottom of the mapsheet.

3. Select several wells by drawing a box, or by holding the CTRL key and
clicking on individual wells.

) Steps 2. and 3. need not be performed if you do not wish to select the wells
before creating a list.

4. Select Project > Well Lists... to open the Well List Maintenance dialog box.

 6. Enter the name southwells in the Well List Save As dialog box and click
OK.
The list is saved as <listname>.well_list in the wells directory of the currently
open project.

7. Click on the mapsheet (but not on a well or section) to deselect the wells.

8. Select Project > Wells to Process...

9. Remove all currently selected wells.

10. In the Well List or Wildcard field, click on the Dropdown List button.

11. Locate and select southwells.

12. Click the Select All button.

13. Click OK to specify these wells as the wells to process.

You also perform the above steps to create and select section lists using the
Project > Section Lists..., and Project > Sections to Process... menu options.
Note that section lists are saved to the sections directory of the currently open
project as <listname>.section_list.

Modifying lists is covered in "Using the Catalogues" on Page 50, as the

procedures are the same when modifying lists while using Catalogue views.

Exercise 3

Changing the Mapsheet View

A mapsheet consists of several layers, each of which contains, or may contain, a
specific view. In this exercise, you will learn how to turn the layers on and off, and
view specific objects.

1. Open the stars_imp (stars_met) map.

2. Select View > Layers and toggle off Seismic. Observe the change to the
display.

3. Select View > Layers and toggle off Wells.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 3: Working with Mapsheets 21

 4. Practice toggling other layers.

) There is no noticeable difference when toggling the Z Color layer, as this

function is for use after using the Z Posting and Z Coloring tools, discussed
in "Catalogue Tools" on Page 68.

The Contours, Culture, Seismic, Boundaries and Special layers are user
defined layers and are discussed in detail in "Basemap" on Page 26.

5. Toggle all layers back on.

) These toggle functions remain set until you change them or exit Project, so
if, for instance, you specify sections to process and they do not display on
your map, check the View > Layers setting.
Observe the changes to the display as you do each of the following:

6. Select View > Show All.

7. Select View > Show Process.

8. Select (click once on) a section.

9. Select View > Show Selected.

10. Select View > Show Process to return your view to the original state.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 3: Working with Mapsheets 22

 Step 4: Formatting Mapsheets

Procedure
This step shows you how to modify objects on the map and format the map display. You will
use the Properties dialog box to:

• Specify the basemap projection and hemisphere.

• Set the sheet limits and coordinate system.
• Modify the grid and sheet edge, and specify coordinates in an Artist drawing in
order to display as a background on a map.
• Format the display of objects posted on the map.
• Change the presentation of the sheet display.

Exercise 1

Projection
To convert latitude/longitude to cartesian coordinates, the projection and spheroid
of the point must be known. This information can then be used to convert the
latitude/longitude to X/Y coordinates.
In Geolog, to convert Latitude/Longitude (geographic) to X/Y coordinates
(cartesian coordinates), a map projection and a spheroid must be selected on the
Projection tab of the Properties dialog box. A spheroid is how we view the
spherical shape of the world, and the projection is the way in which specific points
on the surface of the spheroid are converted to the flat surface of a map. Several
factors need to be considered when performing this conversion, including the size
of the map area, the latitude of the project area, and the mapping conventions
adopted by different countries.
In this exercise, you will set the relevant mapsheet projection and hemisphere for
the wells in the STARS project. In the next exercise, you will convert to X/Y
coordinates to latitude/longitude.

1. Close all open document views.

2. Specify ALL wells and NO sections for processing.

3. Open a new mapsheet.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 4: Formatting Mapsheets 23

 4. Select Edit > Properties to open the Properties dialog box (see Figure 13).

) You can double click on a blank area on the mapsheet (not on a well or
section) to open the Properties dialog box.

5. On the Projection tab, set the following (and as shown in Figure 13):
Projection: Universal Transverse Mercator; the selection
made in this field determines which other fields on
the Projection tab become available (applicable).

Further information on the Projection tab fields can

be found in the Mapsheet online help.
Spheroid: leave as Australian National 1965
Horizontal Units: leave as Feet (Metres)
Zone: 56
This defines a central meridian for the map area
when using the Universal Transverse Mercator
projection. There are 60 UTM zones, with Zone 1
using a central meridian of -177°, Zone 2, -171°, up
to Zone 60, 177°.

Figure 13: Properties dialog box Projection tab

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 4: Formatting Mapsheets 24

 6. Select the Posting tab and set:
Hemisphere: South
Greenwich Direction: leave as East
These fields are not available (applicable) unless a projection has been
specified on the Projection tab.

7. Click Apply to set the projection.

Exercise 2

Limits
In this exercise, you will change your sheet size, scale and coordinate system.

1. Select the Limits tab.

2. Open the Position dialog box (click on the More Info icon in the bottom
right corner of the Project window; if necessary, click and drag on the Title Bar
of open dialog boxes to move them).
3. Use the mouse pointer and Position dialog box to determine minimum and
maximum X and Y values to encompass the range of the wells displayed.

) You can improve the mapsheet display by adjusting the X/Y values in
increments equal to the Grid. Click on the Basemap tab and note the Grid
Increment (500).
4. Record your values, as you will need them in a later exercise.
Minimum X __________________ Minimum Y __________________

Maximum X __________________ Maximum Y __________________

5. Enter the values on the Limits tab.

6. Click Apply to set the new sheet limits.
7. If you have selected poor values, how can you easily retrieve your
original data?

8. On the Limits tab, change the scale to 10000 and toggle on the Geographic
option.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 4: Formatting Mapsheets 25

 ) If you cannot select the Geographic option, you may not have a Projection
specified.

9. Click OK and zoom in on the mapsheet to view the coordinates displayed.

10. Reopen the Properties dialog box.

The X/Y coordinates in the Properties dialog box are no longer applicable, as
Geolog has converted the Cartesian values to Geographic (latitude/longitude)
values to display the mapsheet. Accurate X/Y values have also been
calculated and entered into the fields.

11. Toggle on the Cartesian option.

12. Leave the X/Y coordinates as is and click on OK.

) Converting from X/Y coordinates to Geographic Latitude/Longitude is for the

currently open mapsheet only and does not change the positional
information in the database. To permanently change the positional
information, use Tools > Geographic Conversion...

If you do not select the correct Hemisphere, Zone and Greenwich Direction,
the Latitude/Longitude positional information will be incorrectly calculated.

13. Select Mapsheet > Save As... and save your map as allstars.

Exercise 3

Basemap
In this exercise, you will format the grid display and add a background.

Map Section

1. Open the Properties dialog box and select the Basemap tab.

2. In the Map section, change the following:

Sheet Edge: change to RED
Grid: change to GREEN
Increment: change to 1000 (200 for metric)
Geographic / Increment: if the coordinate system being used was Geographic
(selected on the Limits tab), these fields would also be available to format the
tick marks, text and increments.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 4: Formatting Mapsheets 26

 3. Click OK to apply the changes and close the Properties dialog box.

Backgrounds Section
Before placing background CGM files on your map (or on other Geolog displays
such as a cross section), you must tell Geolog where to place them. This is done
by specifying, in Artist, the coordinates of the CGM plot file (paper) and the
coordinates used by your projection (world). You then import the CGM file into the
required Geolog display (e.g., a mapsheet or cross section display).

4. Select Project > View > Use Rulers.

5. Open an Artist document view by selecting Project > View > Artist... to open
the File Select dialog box.

6. Locate and open contours.cgm.

7. Select View > Zoom Out to view the entire drawing.

text height: 0.2 (0.4)
text angle: -5
marker: co (see Deviation below)
marker size: 0.4 (1.0) - click Apply

Position: Bottom of Well - click Apply

) The deviated Tegmen wells may have "disappeared" - when you change the
Position, the well names are displayed at that location. If necessary, use the
Scroll bar (remember, you need not close the Properties dialog box) to scroll
to the very top of the map to locate the Tegmen wells (it may be that all that
is showing is the well symbols, depending on your map coordinates).
The marker selected above is used to identify the top or bottom of the well,
depending on the Position selected, when deviation is turned on:
Deviation: toggle on Stick - click Apply

6. Close the Properties dialog box, and use the Zoom tools and Scroll bars to

Step 5: Inserting and Modifying Mapsheet Objects

Procedure
Geolog treats most items in the display as graphical objects which can be selected and edited
using the standard set of edit commands. You will:

• Graphically insert and manipulate a new well.

• Insert an Artist picture and modify the picture.
• Copy wells from another project.
• Include wells from another project.

Exercise 1

Inserting New Wells

A well can be inserted on a mapsheet (and into the database) when a well location
is known but data is not yet available because, for example, logging has not taken
place.

1. Open a new mapsheet.

) Note that if you have continued on from the previous exercise, rulers are
displayed on the new mapsheet. Toggle off rulers (Project > View > Use
Rulers) BEFORE opening a view (new or existing) if you do not wish to have
the rulers displayed.

2. Zoom in on the upper group of wells.

3. Select Insert > Well... to display the New Well dialog box.

4. Enter MYSTAR as the well name.

5. Click OK—the pointer changes to a pencil.

6. Left click the pencil on a well location on the map.

This inserts the well in the database and on the map using the default X
symbol. The exact location and symbol can be adjusted in the
Well Catalogue.

7. Select the new well.

 21. Save the mapsheet as stars2.
Other Artist elements can be added, or existing ones modified, as required, in the
same manner. When done, it is advisable to toggle the "Read Only" option back on
to avoid unintentional modifications.

Exercise 3

Copying Wells From Another Project

Use the Copy from Project... option to create in the currently open project a copy
of a well or wells, including the data, from another project.
There are two methods for copying wells:
• graphically, by map area, which you will do in this exercise, and
• by selection, using the Well Catalogue, which is covered in "Using the
Catalogues" on Page 50.

) Only those wells in the source project which do not already exist in the
destination project, and which have location data which fit inside the
currently displayed mapsheet limits, are copied into the destination project,
thus, the mapsheet limits may need adjusting before performing a copy.

1. Zoom in on the top left area of the map.

2. Select Edit > Copy From Project... to open the Project Select dialog box.

3. Locate and select the MOONS project.

4. When the Copy Wells dialog box is displayed, select "Yes to All".

(Use "Yes" and "No" to select only some of the wells to be copied.)

5. Open the Feedback window (click on the More Info icon in the Message
area) to display the messages generated after copying the wells (see
Figure 21).

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 5: Inserting and Modifying Mapsheet Objects 39
 Figure 21: Messages generated after copying wells from another project

6. Select Project > Wells to Process...

7. Scroll to the bottom of the Selection list—the copied wells have been
automatically included in the Wells to Process list.

8. Close the Select Multiple dialog box.

9. On the mapsheet, select and delete the 7 wells you have just copied.

Exercise 4

Including Wells From Another Project

Use the Include from Project... option to create a well or wells in the currently open
project with a link to another (source) project. Initially, these wells have no data in
the destination project. Any changes then made to linked well data are maintained
locally within the destination project. If a well exists in both the source and
destination project, the status of the well in the destination project is updated with
the Include property.
Wells included (rather than copied) into a destination project are automatically
updated with any changes made to the wells in the source project when the
destination project is reopened.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 5: Inserting and Modifying Mapsheet Objects 40
 There are two methods for including wells:
• graphically, by map area, which you will do in this exercise, and
• by selection, using the Well Catalogue, which is covered in "Using the
Catalogues" on Page 50.

) Only those wells in the source project which have location data which fit
inside the currently displayed mapsheet limits are included in the destination
project, thus, the mapsheet limits may need adjusting before performing an
include. If a well in the source project already exists in the destination
project, the status of the destination well is changed to "Include".

This exercise is designed to show you how to graphically include wells from
another project. Further details on included wells and their status is covered
in "Using the Catalogues" on Page 50.

1. Select Edit > Include from Project...

2. Locate and select the Moons project.

3. Select "Yes to All" — there are 8 wells (instead of 7 as when a copy was
performed) because one well, ELECTRA, exists in both projects.

4. On the mapsheet:
— Delete the 7 included wells.
— Locate and select the ELECTRA well.
— Select Edit > Remove Include.

Warning
If reference data for a non-regularly sampled set in an included well is changed locally, logs in
the local project are filled with missing values. Included log data will no longer be available
because the reference log in the local project differs from the reference log in the included
project.

If log data for a non-regularly sampled set in an included well exists locally and reference data
is changed in the included project, the included logs in the set are filled with missing values to
indicate that they are now inaccessible (i.e., due to reference log inconsistencies).

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 5: Inserting and Modifying Mapsheet Objects 41
 Step 6: Mapsheet Tools

Procedure
This step explains the various tools available on the Mapsheet Tools menu. You will:

• Use the Z Posting tool to set numeric values for each applicable well.
• Use the Z Coloring tool to create a color grid of the values specified with the
Z Posting tool.

Geographic Conversion
The Geographic Conversion tool is used to permanently change the well
coordinates in the database.
A mapsheet view must be displayed to perform the conversion. There are only two
conversions available: Cartesian to Geographic and Geographic to Cartesian, with
the option to convert all points or only those with missing values.
See the Mapsheet online help for detailed information on using Geographic
Conversion.

Exercise 1

Z Posting
You can use the Z Posting tool to specify a numeric value to display on the
basemap. Once the numeric values have been specified, you can use the
Z Coloring tool to display the values as a numeric grid. Limits can be set using
interval processing.

1. Zoom in on the wells in the centre of the stars2 mapsheet.

2. Select Tools > Z Posting... to display the Z Post dialog box.

5. Click OK.
Geolog will:
— Display the value(s) specified for each well on the mapsheet, where
applicable.
— Where the value(s) is/are not applicable, highlight the well(s) in red and
display a code. (The highlighting can be removed, if required, by selecting
Tools > Highlight Cancel).
— Create a legend at the bottom of the basemap.

 As shown in Figure 24, a legend is created for the Z Posting values. When values
are not applicable (as in the case of the Tegmen wells), a code or codes is/are
inserted and a description of the applicable code(s) placed in the legend. These
codes are:
I- Interval log was not found V - No selected intervals were found
L- Constant or log was not found M - Log values were all missing in
selected range

8. Set the following Z Posting values, which will be used in the next exercise:
Mode: Thickness
Intervals to Process: ALTHORPE FM from the TOPS.TOPS interval log

) If the "Clear Z Coloring" is toggled OFF, any currently displayed color grid is
retained. This is useful for comparing the color grid of one set of Z Posting
options with other Z Posting options. Z Coloring is covered in the next
exercise.
The following table provides a description of the Z Posting modes available.

Z Posting Modes

MODE DESCRIPTION
None Use this value to turn off (cancel) Z Posting.
Constant The specified well constant for each well.
Thickness The value of the thickness of a specified horizon or horizons
within the specified interval log; if more than one horizon is
specified, the values are the combined thickness.
Mean Mean value of the selected log.
Sum Sum of the values of the selected log.
Minimum Minimum value of the selected log.
Maximum Maximum value of the selected log.
First First value of the selected log.
Last Last value of the selected log.
Range Maximum - minimum values of the selected log.
All of the above can be limited by selecting the Intervals to Process... button to
specify an interval log.

 Step 7: Plotting Your Map

Procedure
This step explains how to create a CGM file of your map, or print your map to a plotter/printer.

You will:

• Create a CGM file and view it in Artist.

Exercise 1

Create a CGM File

1. Select Mapsheet > Plot...

2. Save the file using today’s date (e.g., apr_19).

A CGM plot file of the current map is created in the project’s plots directory.

3. Select Project > View > Artist...

4. Open the CGM file (e.g., apr_19.cgm).

Each object on the mapsheet is now an Artist element which can be modified,
and other Artist elements can be added, to create a CGM file to be used in
Geolog applications.

Plot / Print
Unless your instructor indicates otherwise, the following is for information only.

• Select the stars2 document mapsheet view.

• Select Mapsheet > Plot...
• Locate and select the {NAME}.plotter file—e.g., HP750C_HPGL2.plotter. This
converts the file and sends it to the hp750c plotter.

) Plotter/printers are usually set up, and access provided to you at your site,
by your Systems Administrator.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 7: Plotting Your Map 49

 Step 8: Using the Catalogues

Procedure
This step explains how to use both the Well and Section Catalogues.

You will:

• Become familiar with the Catalogue views.

• Specify data for processing using the Catalogue views.
• Perform various searches for wells and other data.
• Learn how to flag wells for easy identification in all views using the Highlight
tools.
• Print, or create a report of, Well Catalogue data.

) Often, performing functions in one Catalogue view is exactly the same as

performing the function in the other (e.g., creating Well Lists and Section
Lists) therefore, instructions are given for the Well Catalogue only.

Exercise 1

The Catalogue Views

The Well Catalogue

The Well Catalogue is designed as a search function to assist with well
management. The Well Catalogue is a table format view of all wells in the project,
and provides details of the currently open project, including well constants, and
sets, constants, comments and logs information.

1. Close all open views (Project > View > Close All).

2. Specify ATLAS, BOTEIN, FURUD, GOMEISA and RANA for processing.

3. Open a Well Catalogue view—Project > View > Well Catalogue.

Initially, only those wells selected for processing are displayed.

4. Select View > Show All Wells.

Geolog displays wells selected for processing with green shading. This
does NOT mean the wells are selected.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 8: Using the Catalogues 50

 5. To select a well or wells, click in the checkbox in the SELECT column—select
the FURUD well.

6. Select View > Show Selected.

7. Select View > Show Hidden Process.

8. Redisplay all Process wells—View > Show Process Wells.

9. Select View > Show All Hidden Wells. What is displayed?

10. Redisplay all wells in the project.

The Section Catalogue

The Section Catalogue is designed to assist with section management, and is
similar in functionality to the Well Catalogue.

1. Select the NORTH2 and SOUTH1 sections for processing.

2. Select Project > View > Section Catalogue.

There are no viewing tools within the Section Catalogue.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 8: Using the Catalogues 51

 Exercise 2

Finding Data in the Well Catalogue

As well as the Viewing tools covered in the previous exercise, there are other tools
for locating and viewing specific data in the Well Catalogue.

1. Display the Well Catalogue view (use the Document View buttons at the
bottom of the window to switch between open views).

Table tabs
Find Functions

Search and Browse Functions

Figure 26: Tools for locating data in the Well Catalogue

2. Click on each of the Table tabs.

Note that except for the Wells tab, there is no data displayed. This indicates
that there is no data currently selected, and/or a search has not been
performed.

3. Select the ATLAS well (place a tick in the checkbox next to the well name).

4. Click on each of the Table tabs again.

5. Select the Wells tab and select the BOTEIN well.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 8: Using the Catalogues 52

 6. Click on each of the Table tabs. Note the data displayed is now for the
BOTEIN well.

7. Toggle OFF the Browsing checkbox.

10. Toggle the Browsing checkbox ON.

11. Reselect the ELECTRA well and click on the Table tabs.

12. Click on the Logs Table tab and toggle OFF the Show Details checkbox.

Quick Search
When using the "Search for" field, by default, Geolog only searches those wells
specified for processing (if no wells are specified for processing, all wells are
searched). This is a quick method for viewing data in all wells specified for
processing, or redisplaying data in all process wells after a search has been
performed.
* = all wells
*.* = all wells and all sets (wells.sets)
*.*.* = all data (wells.sets.logs/constants/comments)

You can also use the wildcards in conjunction with specific search criteria.

13. Click the Dropdown List button, next to the Search for field.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 8: Using the Catalogues 53

 14. Practice selecting each of the displayed wildcards:
* • Select the wildcard.
• Click Go to perform the search.
• Note the message displayed in the Message area.
• Click on each of the Table tabs and note the displayed data.
*.* Repeat the above.

Geolog retains all search criteria entered in the "Search for" field for the
current working session (until Project is closed) so it can be reused, if
required.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 8: Using the Catalogues 54

 17. Click the Dropdown List button—your list should look similar to Figure 27.

Figure 27: Dropdown list showing search criteria history

Quick Search using the Table Menu

You can use the Table Menu to only search the data displayed on your screen.
Therefore, all data must be displayed which may contain the data you are trying to
locate. For instance, if you are looking for a specific comment, you must have all
wells displayed which may contain the comment, and also select the COMMENTS
tab before starting the search.
Using the Table Menu Find functions is covered in further detail in "Finding Data in
the Section Catalogue" on Page 60.

Advanced Search

18. Specify the first 4 wells for processing.

19. Click on the WELLS tab and select View > Show All Wells.

20. Select the ELECTRA, FURUD and GOMEISA wells.

) Before using the Advanced search function, select wells for processing and/or
select specific wells as this provides more search refining options, and aids in
quickly locating the required data.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 8: Using the Catalogues 55

 21. Click the Advanced... button to display the Advanced Search dialog box.

Figure 28: Advanced Search - Names tab

There are 2 tabs on this dialog box:

Names: Use this tab to perform a quick search when, for
instance, the name of an item is not known, or to
refine the search before selecting the Criteria tab.
Only one item can be entered in each field;
wildcards are available.
Criteria: Use this tab to refine your search and/or when
looking for several items; multiple items can be
entered; wildcards are not available.

To use the Names tab

Because you have selected wells for processing and also selected specific wells
before opening the Advanced Search dialog box, the "Wells to Search" field has
several options from which to choose.

22. Specify Selected in the Wells to Search field.

23. Enter HC* in the Sets field.

24. Click the Search button.

25. Click on the Table tabs and note the data displayed.

26. Click the Advanced... button again.

27. Click the Wells to Search field Dropdown List button and select Process.
Note there is now no "Selected" option, as the search results have replaced
the selection.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 8: Using the Catalogues 56

 28. Remove the HC* and click the Set Select icon. There are no items
available as a list has not been generated.

29. Click Cancel and click the Build List button next to the Sets field.

30. Click the Set Select icon again. A list of all set names for the Process
wells has been generated. The Select icons and Build List buttons function
as follows:

Well Select Lists all wells according to the option specified in the
Wells to Search field; for example, in this exercise, if
Process is selected in the Wells to Search field,
when you click on the Well Select icon, only Atlas,
Botein, Capella and Deneb are available.
Set Select Until the Build List button is selected, no sets are
listed—see below.
Log Select Until the Build List button is selected, no constants,
comments, or logs are listed—see below.
Build List: SETS Builds the list according to the following priority:

Wells to Search field

Well field

For example, if Process is specified in the Wells to

Search and HYPERION is entered in the Well field,
a list will not be generated as HYPERION is not a
process well.
Build List: LOGS Builds the list according to the following priority:

Wells to Search field

Well field
Set field

For example, if Wells to Search is All, well is ATLAS

and set is TWTIME, a list of constants, comments
and logs for the TWTIME set in the ATLAS well is
generated.

Toggle ON the "Match aliases" checkbox to locate

all aliases for the log—for example, searching for
GR logs and aliases would also find SGR and CGR.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 8: Using the Catalogues 57

 ) Use the Build List button to locate incorrectly named logs and/or help
identify existing data in your project.

Lists remain until regenerated or the Project application is closed.

To obtain complete lists for all data in the project, ensure ALL is specified,
and the Well, Set, and Constant, Comment or Log fields are blank. See the
Well Catalogue online help for further information on using Advanced
Search functions.

To use the Criteria Tab

Wildcards are not available for the fields on the Criteria tab, as most of this
capability is covered by the Define Criterion options. You can use wildcards in any
of the fields on the Names tab, which can be used in combination with the search
options on the Criteria tab. Therefore, it is important to remember to check the
Names tab before using the Criteria tab to determine what search options are
specified on both tabs.
Searches are much faster if they are narrowed down by values in the fields on the
Names tab. Searching with SW* in the Constant, Comment or Log field is much
faster than specifying SW for the log in the Define Criterion fields on the Criteria
tab, and allows the control of using a wildcard. If you are only interested in
searches that involve only part of the name, you do not need to use the Criteria tab.

31. Select the Criteria tab.

32. Enter the following in the indicated fields (and as shown in Figure 29):
Wells to Search: All
Apply to: Well
Attribute X Location
Condition: < (less than)
Value: 2140000 ft (652000 m)

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 8: Using the Catalogues 58

 Figure 29: Advanced Search - Criteria Tab

33. Click the Add to List button to add the set of criteria to the "Find items that
match these criteria" field. You can add as many sets of criteria to this field as
required.

34. Click the Search button to perform the search.

35. Perform another search to find all wells which contain the letter C in the Well
Name and with a well symbol of CROSS (see the HINTS below).

) HINTS:

You can use either both tabs or just the Criteria tab.

Use the Values>> button to clear the fields, save a set of search criteria for
future use, or restore or delete a previously saved set of search criteria.

If you are modifying an existing set of search criteria, circumvent the need
to re-enter all the criteria by doing the following:

- select the existing criteria in the "Find items that match these criteria" field;

- make the required modifications;

- add the new set of criteria by clicking on the Add to List button;

- select the old set of search criteria and click on the Remove button.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 8: Using the Catalogues 59

Unless your instructor indicates otherwise, the following is for information only.

Use the Print option to print the Well Catalogue data displayed on the currently
selected tab (there is no Print function for the Section Catalogue).

Note: The amount of data printed is determined by the printer setup, which is usually managed
by your Systems Administrator. See Plotters and Printers in the Environment online help
for further information.

To print currently displayed tab data

• Display the data to be printed using the View, Find and Search functions, and
appropriate Table tab.
• Select Catalogue > Print to display the File Select dialog box.
• Select a printer/plotter name to print directly to a device.
OR
Specify a file name to produce a report which can then be opened in, for
example, MS Wordpad or MS Excel. The following sections provide further
information on the type of report files which can be produced.

Space Delimited (ASCII PRN)

To create a file with fixed spacing, specify .prn for the file extension
(e.g., wire_log_headers.prn).

Geolog Comma Delimited (CSV Flat ASCII)

To create a comma delimited file, specify .csv for the file extension
(e.g., wire_log_headers.csv).

on Page 40 for the definition of well Includes).

11. Check the status of the included wells. The definitions of the Status codes are
as follows:
P Data resides in the project’s /wells directory.
PI The well is included from another project and data
may or may not exist in the local project.

Data from an included well does not reside in the

project directory, but may be modified in the current
project. Modified data is subsequently stored in the
current project.

12. Locate and select the row containing the Electra well.

13. Observe the Project Include and Status fields for Electra.

Figure 31: Viewing the status of a well in the Catalogue

14. Deselect the ELECTRA well, as this is an existing well that you want to leave in

 Exercise 5

Removing Includes

1. Select the ELECTRA well.

2. Select Edit > Remove Include.

When there is data in both the local project and the remote (included) project
(Status in Well Catalogue is PI), removing the include leaves only data local to the
project (Status in Well Catalog is changed to P).
When there is only data in the remote (included) project, removing the include
leaves an empty well with only well header information in the local project (status
is changed to P).
To completely remove an included well, select it and then select Edit > Delete.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 9: Modifying Catalogue Data 67

 Step 10: Catalogue Tools

Procedure
This step covers the options on the Tools menu of the Catalogues. These tools function in the
same manner in both the Section and Well Catalogues, so the Well Catalogue will be used as
an example. You will:

• Highlight objects in one view so that they are easily located in other views.
• Learn how to launch other Geolog applications.

Exercise 1

Locating Data in All Views

When objects are selected in a view, they are "temporarily" highlighted. When
another view is opened or selected, these objects may not be easily located in the
new view, as the selection in the first view may have been removed.
The Highlight tool is used to create "permanent" highlighting which is visible in all
views, and which can be removed when no longer required.

1. Close all open views.

2. Specify all wells for processing.

3. Create a new mapsheet.

4. Zoom in on a few of the wells.

5. Select several wells. Note how the wells are highlighted in yellow, this is a
"temporary" highlighting which indicates selection.

6. Open a Well Catalogue view. The wells you selected are no longer selected in
the Well Catalogue or on the mapsheet.

7. Display the mapsheet and Catalogue side by side:

— Click the Tiling Order icon.

— ensure "Tile All" and "Horizontal" are toggled on.
— Click Tile.

Geolog 6.6.1 - Project Tutorial Step 10: Catalogue Tools 68

 8. Reselect the wells on the mapsheet.

9. Select Tools > Highlight Selected. Note the wells are now highlighted in red,
which is "permanent" highlighting. The wells are also highlighted in the
Catalogue.

10. Click away from the wells on the mapsheet to deselect them.

11. Select an unhighlighted well in the Catalogue.

12. Select Tools > Highlight Selected.

Highlighting is added to the selected well and removed from all others in all
views.

13. Select Tools > Highlight Cancel.

Highlighting is removed from all views.

) When you wish to select highlighted items, for instance, to create a well list
of all highlighted wells, use the Tools > Select Highlighted function.

Launching Applications
Other applications can be started from within the Project application. You can
either start the application or start the application and open a file at the same time
from either a Mapsheet or Catalogue view.

1. Double click on a well on the mapsheet.
