StratWorks Tutorial

StratWorks is an interpretation package developed by Landmark for use in

correlating logs, building cross-sections and creating maps.This exercise
will focus specifically on building a cross section and printing out a
basemap of the wells used, showing the line of section. Keep in mind that
there are many other uses for StratWorks and I will only touch on the most
important points, it would be to your advantage to look at the course
manuals by my desk in 543 Deike for specific details and more information.

1.Log into Landmark

2.Change project to the one you would like to work in

3.Before moving on into StratWorks its a good idea to make a list of
the specific wells that you are going to want to work with in creating your
cross-section.

4.On the main Landmark menu: Data -> Management -> Well List Manager

5.Create a well list for the wells of interest (see the manual for
specifics).

6.Go to Applications -> StratWorks 7.In StratWorks, you must first
create a Stratigraphic Column

8.From the StratWorks command menu, select Utilities ->Strat Column
Editor

9.Select Column -> Options, select your scale and make sure Definition
Mode is selected.

10.Select Column -> Column Management

11.Choose Add, select which surfaces to add to your strat column, you can
change the color, line width and type of surface in the surface parameters
box. Move the cursor into the Strat Column Editor and press button one to
move the surface up and down and release the button to post the surface on
the strat column.You can remove and delete surfaces in Column -> Column
Management ->Remove

12.To create a strat column with ALL the available surfaces, select
Column -> Auto-Place Surfaces

13.Once you have added all the surfaces you would like you should save
your strat column by clicking on Save Column in the Column Management box.

14.You can also create faults in the Strat Column Editor by selecting
Column -> Faults, click on Create and change the parameters to your
specifications. You are making a catalog of faults to be used later as you
interpret, make sure you label the faults so that you can recognize them
later.

15.The next step in StratWorks is to create a Basemap. Make sure you save
your column before you log out of the Strat Column Editor.

16.From the StratWorks command Menu, select Interpret -> Map View
17.Select File ->Setup

18.In here you can change your x/y values to zoom in on your Area of
Interest (AOI), and you can select the picks that you set up in the Strat
Column Editor.Make sure your depth units are correct and the Active
Surface List is set to From Strat Column

19.Now, annotate the basemap using the Wells ->Surface Posting Parameters
and Bottom Posting Parameters, in these parameter boxes you can change the
actual postings, colors, sizes, symbols and you can also add and delete
postings.

20.To post your block lines and numbers select File -> Import ZGF picture

21.In View ->Grid, Ticks, Lines and Labels you are able to add border
labels, grid lines and/or tick marks to your basemap. Make sure you save
your MapView session under File -> Save Session As.

22.To print your basemap, select File -> Print, change to an appropriate
size, click off the "Print Only to file", and select a plotter. Click OK

23.You can now begin to build a Cross Section. 24.From the MapView menu
bar choose CrossSections -> Create Line of Section

25.Click on the basemap in the order that you want your cross section
created, then label it and click on OK to save the line of section (LOS).

26.Now select CrossSections -> Display Well Projections, click on the LOS
that you have created, your selected wells will now show up as the same
color as your LOS.

27.Before displaying your Cross Section you will need to create a Well
Template (this is not mandatory, but it will make it easier to display your
cross section).

28.Open Well Template Editor by selecting Utilities -> Well Template
Editor from the StratWorks main menu.

29.Select Edit -> Tracks List and select the tracks that you would like
to have show on your cross section.There are many choices, including
curve, depth track, bore location, pick names, pick line you can move
these tracks by clicking and dragging them in the well template
editor.You can also change the track parameters by clicking on the track
in the List of Tracks dialog box and selecting Edit. Make sure to save your
session before exiting.

30.You are now finally ready to view your cross section. There are many
features of the Cross Section application, see attached sheet for a short
list. 31.From the StratWorks main menu select Interpret -> Cross Section

32.Choose File -> Setup, for your active surface list, select your LOS
that you have set up.The template box will then become active, choose the
template that you created in Well Template Editor. And select From Strat
Column for the Active Surface List.

33.The display can be edited by selecting View -> Scaling Parameters,
View -> Display Parameters, and View -> Overlays. Adjustthe display to
your liking and then click on the redisplay button on the left side of the
screen or

34.Select View -> Display Cross Section

35.To Print your Cross Section select, File -> Print and follow the same
steps as you did to print your basemap.
