H-ROCKWORKS BOREHOLE DATA TYPES

Display and model different types of downhole data: lithology, stratigraphy, aquifers, quantitative
measurements, fractures, colors, and more.

stratigraphic surfaces which, when stacked, create a 3D stratigraphic model. Import
external grids for incorporation into your model. Diagram types include
3D stratigraphy models, surfaces, and fences; 2D profiles, cross-sections, and
projected sections; 2D geology maps; and many more.

3-Geophysical, Geochemical and Geotechnical Data

Downhole log data can represent geophysical measurements, geochemical values,
geotechnical measurements, and more. These data can be entered either at depth
points or over depth intervals with optional dates. Display and analyze observed data
in logs and log sections. Use various solid modeling algorithms to create a continuous
3D model. Display model contents as 3D voxels, isosurfaces or fence diagrams. For
2D display, create cross sections, single-slice profiles, projected cross sections, maps
of single slices or contours along a grid surface.

model from color intervals listed in the borehole database. Import tools allow posting
of color intervals based on descriptions (such as Munsell codes) or based on raster
images (core photos, etc.). Display options include 3D voxels, isosurfaces, and fences;
2D cross sections, profiles, projected sections, and maps.

5-Aquifer Data
Define one or more aquifers in your project and interpolate tops and bases of the
water-bearing zones using any of the available gridding methods. Display water
levels in logs with symbols or filled bars. Display aquifers as 3D surfaces, sliced as 2D
cross sections, profiles, or projected sections, or as plan-view contour maps.

A fracture-specific modeling algorithm allows you to create a solid model of fracture
proximities for display in 3D (voxels, isosurfaces, fences) and 2D (profiles, sections,
projected sections, contour maps). Display fractures as tadpoles in 2D logs or oriented
disks in 3D.

sonar data (current flow), with depth, azimuth, and inclination. Vectors can be
represented in logs as scalable arrows and modeled into cavern diagrams.
