LogM Well Editor

• It is GeoGraphix’s
p multi-purpose
p p geophysical
g p y application
pp used for
interactively editing well logs and evaluating synthetic trace character
response when tying seismic data to well locations.

PRIZM
• PRIZM is i a comprehensive
h i interpretation
i t t ti package
k d i
designedd to
t assist
i t
geoscientists and petrophysicists in analyzing and interpreting well log data.
• PRIZM supports the import of digital data from numerous sources

and provides integrated data views and analysis.
• PRIZM also enables quick analysis of well log data using industry
industry-
standard and custom-built petrophysical algorithms.
• Using
g PRIZM, log
g templates
p can be g generated for display
p y in the cross
section module. Type logs and annotated logs can be generated in PRIZM
and then exported as metafiles for display in GeoAtlas.

pStaX
• The ppStaX application
pp is used to p
perform seismic p
post stack
processing. Data are taken from SeisVision or SEG-Y files and reprocessed
into new lines or data volumes.

SEISBASE
• SEISBASE the data manager for non-trace seismic data stored at the
project level. The information stored consists of line, shotpoint, and survey
location, and event data for 2D and 3D seismic surveys.
• Seismic data can be imported

impo ted in Landmark
Landma k ASCII,
ASCII SDXF3,
SDXF3 SEGP1 or
o
UKOOA format.
• Data can also be imported from a spreadsheet using the Spreadsheet

Importer or manually added.
• Seismic

• The posted data can be contoured using IsoMap.

SEISVISION
• SeisVision is the most powerful 2D and 3D seismic interpretation and
mapping software package available for use with Microsoft Windows®.
• SeisVision p
provides an intuitive user interface optimized
p for loading
g
SEG-Y format data sets, and interactive viewing and picking of time horizons
on 2D seismic sections and 3D inlines and crosslines. SeisVision offers
sophisticated, yet intuitive, fault interpretation, velocity interpretation based
on well control, and real time depth conversion. Depth/thickness data can be
rapidly generated from reflection events, allowing the geophysicist to
exchange data with the geologist and prepare surface models integrating all
off the
th data.
d t
• Presentation-quality maps, timeslices, and seismic sections can be

generated in SeisVision,
SeisVision or layers and metafiles can be easily imported for
display into GeoAtlas.
WellBase
• Wellbase is a relational database manager for geologic well data,
including location information, formation tops, faults, deviation surveys,
DSTs, and cores.
• WellBase automates the process of basemap construction and well

data management and accepts data from commercial or proprietary sources.
Well Base allows for easy data imports and exports. The project can be
populated with well data by importing ASCII files, pasting spreadsheet data,
or typing well information into the database.
• D t in

d t b using
i th
the
Spreadsheet Importer. The Well Base Information Manager allows several
views of the same data set using a variety of filters.

WellBase
• Filters can be created for well data using QueryBuilder through the
filter menu. Well layers can be created for display in GeoAtlas.
• In addition, stratigraphic
g p columns can be created, and well symbols
y
and colors can be managed in WellBase.
• Interactive cross sections can be generated by selecting wells from

the map display layer and if well logs are available, the curve data can be
displayed for the selected wells.

XSection

i i geologic
l i cross
sections. In XSection, both stratigraphic and structural cross sections can be
defined using data from WellBase or PRIZM.
I. Wells can be chosen for a cross section view by selecting them graphically
from a previously created well layer in GeoAtlas, selecting them using the
Define New Cross Section option in PRIZM,
PRIZM or selecting them from a list
of wells in the project database.
II. Cross sections can also be constructed directly

y from seismic lines
displayed in SeisVision.
III. Formation tops and faults can be added, deleted, or edited on the cross
section using several powerful picking tools.
ZONEMANAGER
• ZoneManager is the data manager tool used to keep track of
reservoir characteristics on a zone basis
basis. Data sources can include PRIZM
PRIZM,
SeisVision, IsoMap, ASCII import, or manual input.
• Within ZoneManager,
g , zones and their attributes can be defined and
edited. Zones are created with top and base definitions.
• Zone attributes are user defined and can include numeric, text, or
date values. Attributes can be filtered, and a math engine allows new
attributes to be generated from old attributes.

Stand-alone vs. Network Installations
The only difference between a stand-alone and network

installation is how the software gets installed and where the
license service is running.
In both installations, the GeoGraphix system files are

always installed on and run from the client workstation.

Installation
In a stand-alone installation, the GeoGraphix system is

loaded directly to the local workstation from the installation
CD.
CD
In a network installation, the GeoGraphix system is loaded

to client workstation from the application server hosting the
GeoGraphix network software. During the network
installation process, the client workstation is loaded with the
system
y files and is setup
p to run its license from the license
server.

License Service
In a stand-alone installation, the license is loaded on the local
workstation.
In a network installation, the license file and license service are
loaded and running on a computer or server other than the client
workstation.

Using GeoAtlas to Display and QC Data
The GeoAtlas tool provides powerful graphic editing

capabilities for modifying the appearance of maps and cross
sections. This ro-bust environment permits correcting
overposted text, filling areas with patterns, re-shap-ing
contours, etc. GeoAtlas can also be used to per-form spatial
queries (point-and-shoot) to retrieve data from WellBase,
PRIZM, ZoneManager, and SeisBase
