Introduction
What Is in This Manual?
This manual describes the following advanced programming tools
(available in LogEditLE; PetroWorks AssetPA;
PetroWorks ProPP):

LE

PP

Model Builder (page 6) is PetroWorks' rapid application

development environment, or advanced user programming
application. It contains instructions for developing models, or
interpretive applications, in Model Builder; that is, the emphasis is
on model writing rather than on using the created models.

PA

PP

MathPack (page 121) processes user-defined algorithms over

specified depth intervals to compute new log data. These
algorithms may be stored as text files and reused. You may use
MathPack to modify existing curve data or to generate synthetic
curves.

PA

PP

User Models (page 200) is a tool that allows everyone running

PetroWorks out of the PetroWorks home directory to see and run
published user-written models.

OpenWorks Documentation
In addition to the PetroWorks/LogEdit and StratWorks manuals, you
may occasionally need to refer to several OpenWorks manuals to
perform certain tasks. These manuals include

Using OpenWorks. Refer to this manual for an explanation of the

OpenWorks environment .

OpenWorks Data Management. Refer to this manual for

instructions on creating and managing projects. You must create a
project with a Cartographic Reference System (described in the
Project Management and Map Projection Editor chapters)
before you can load data. This manual also provides instructions
for using some of the OpenWorks utilities like the Well Data
Manager and Well List Manager.

OpenWorks Data Import/Export. Refer to this manual for

instructions on how to load and transfer data between applications
running under the OpenWorks environment.
