ScenarioPlanner
Field Planning With Scenarios
The ScenarioPlanner software is a powerful field development analysis tool that combines the
best of the TracPlanner and AssetPlanner softwares. The previous chapter demonstrated how the
AssetPlanner software can rapidly generate field development scenarios. Using the
ScenarioPlanner software, you can generate several field development scenarios at a time and
present them in a format that allows your end-users to quickly compare and contrast their
development options.
The ScenarioPlanner software uses many of the same dialog boxes as the AssetPlanner software,
and combines them into a wizard that walks you through the process of building various
development scenarios.
This chapter shows you how to use the ScenarioPlanner software. You will complete a number of
practical exercises demonstrating the functionality of the ScenarioPlanner software in the Norway
dataset.
Overview
The first step of the wizard appears. In the absence of any pre-existing
scenarios, the only option available is Create a new scenario set. Click
Next after each step to advance the wizard to the next step of the
process.
The first step presents four options. The first time you use this
application, the Create a new Scenario Set option is the only one
available. After you create a scenario set, the following options become
available:
The Previous and Next buttons in this wizard are located at the bottom
of the screen.
After the scenario is created, nine additional nodes appear below the
scenario node. These represent the steps or components in the wizard,
where you will enter the data that the software needs to calculate the
results.
Additional Data
The second component is Additional Data. Additional wells, plans, or
hazards can be incorporated or merged from other Well Planning
projects into the new scenario.
Additional Data
Targeting Setups
The third component is Targeting Setups. The targets in the
ScenarioPlanner module use the same Horizontal targeting tabs used in
the AssetPlanner module.
Targeting Setups
Site Setups
The forth component is Site Setups, which is used to define the site (or
surface) configurations to be used in the scenario. You can define as
many site setups as are required for analysis. This differs from the
AssetPlanner module, where you are limited to only one site setup.
Site Setups
You can add as many site setups as you need in this dialog box.
Remember to rename each one and click Save As before clicking Next
and moving forward in the wizard.
Plan Setups
The fifth component is Plan Setups. On this screen, you define the plan
configurations to be used in the scenario.
Plan Setups
Survey Setups
The sixth component is Survey Setups. The software can calculate
uncertainty for all of the generated development options. For this to take
place, a survey setup must be entered.
Survey Setups
Cost Information
You can enter cost information the same way as in the AssetPlanner
module. The cost information you enter in the wizard is the basis of the
cost calculation for each scenario.
Results
After clicking Finish, a progress bar is displayed.
help determine the best development option. In addition, you can select
a row and display the results in the DecisionSpace software.

5. Click OK.
2. Select the Inventory tab on the left of the program window to view
the data added to the session. Toggle off Seabed_TVDSS to aid in
visibility.
3. Click OK to exit.
The surface grids are loaded into the session.
2. Select File > Open Project from > OpenWorks from the Well
Planning tool.
A set of 152 targets will display in the Well Planning tool as well as
in the Cube view.
Note that the targets are located below the surface grid, as well as
above it. The targets beneath the grid mirror the targets on the top.
The wizard will guide you through the necessary steps to optimize
your well planning scenarios.
2. Select the Create a new scenario set option and click Next.
For this exercise, you will save your scenario set to a WBP file.
3. Select the Save to WBP files option and save your scenario set as
Mangos_Scenario1.
4. Click Next.
The wizard prompts you to select the well planning project that
contains the targets that you want to use in your scenarios.
5. Select the Add a Well Planning project file option and click Next.
After you add the file, the file location appears below, indicating that
the well plan has been added to the ScenarioPlanner profile set.
Note
After adding a well plan project, click Previous to see all the current
projects. Then click Next to return.
7. Click Next.
The next step in the wizard prompts you to either import a .wbp file
or an OpenWorks project, or not merge any other well planning
project files.
8. Since we will be using a.wbp project file in this exercise, select the
Use a Well Planning project file option and click Next.
9. The wizard prompts you to select the project file. Select the
Mangos.wbp and click Set.
11. Since we are using default targeting parameters, select the Don’t
use any targeting options option.
13. Select the Add a new site setup option in order to run a
comparison case against the existing Mangos.wbp file.
15. Name the site Site_Nor_Only and click the Save As button. You
will not be able to proceed unless you do so. Do not click Next yet.
16. Create two more site setups and save each as shown in the table
below:
19. Select the Add a new plan setup option and click Next.
The wizard prompts for options related to plan setup.
20. Enter the same plan parameters as shown below. Note the
correction to Maximum reach, to ensure enough reach for
scenarios to work. Do not save until instructed.
21. Ensure that the S-Shaped and Straight plan types are in the
Selected pane.
Note
The order in which the plan types are placed in the Selected pane has
significance. When creating scenarios, ScenarioPlanner prioritizes the plans
based on their position in this pane. The first plan takes priority, and so on.
22. Name the plan setup Plan_dls3_hld25 and click Save As. You will
not be able to proceed unless you do so. When saving, click Save
As, not Save Plan Setup.
23. Create four more plan scenarios by making the following changes
to the S-Shaped and Straight plan parameters, and save as shown
below.
Plan_dls3_hld35 3 35 N/A
Plan_dls3_hld45 3 45 N/A
Plan_dls4_hld45 4 45 N/A
25. Click Next till you get to the Survey Setup component and select
the Add a new survey setup option.
Note
To import another survey, that is not available in the Survey Tool drop-down
list, change the module to AssetPlanner, which will allow you to access Tools
> Survey Tools Editor. After doing this, you can return to Scenario Planner.
27. Ensure that the Final Survey option is selected and Save As
Final_Survey1. Click Next.
28. Click Next till you get to the Designate Cost mechanisms
component.
This window lets you to select the options that you want evaluated
in your scenario comparison. Select all options for this exercise.
30. In the Cost Information window, use the same Base Costs as were
used in the AssetPlanner exercise. For this exercise, do not select
the Include OpenWorks wells option.
Note
You can include previously drilled wells for cost comparisons by selecting the
Include OpenWorks wells check box and then importing wells stored in the
OpenWorks software into this comparison.
32. In the Torque and Drag window, accept the default pipe size of 5
DP G105 19.5# and click Next.
33. Select the destination folder for your .wbp files and click Set
Folder.
Note
These results are representative of the kind of scenario comparison you will
see.
You can click on the heading of a column and sort the results by that
column (i.e., click Completed Cost to order the spreadsheet by
increasing cost). In addition, you can drag columns to your preferred
order.
Note that at first the straight wells plan might look more cost
effective, but as you scroll to the right, you will see that only a few
wells and a small percentage of the targets are drilled.
35. The Open Scenario button at the top of your results window lets
you select the ScenarioPlanner workflow you want to view. Yours
is Mangos_Scenario1, and is already open.
36. To view the platforms and well paths, use Open Results at the
bottom of the results page.
Check your Map view to see the spider diagram layouts of the
platforms and targets. Use an opacity of 0.5 on your horizon to
enhance viewing.
37. To view a listing of your targets and target analysis, change the
mode to Scenario Target Analysis in the Well Planning tool. The
screen should look like the one shown below.
Scroll down and over to see how each target is assigned to various
platforms in each scenario. Targets that are not partnered with a pad
have not been hit due to the reason listed in place of a pad name.
Objectives
The tool uniquely generates predicted log curves based on the well’s
stratigraphic position and the drilling or offset well. By correlating the
predicted log curve to the MWD (Measurement While Drilling) or LWD
(logging While Drilling) curves, you can determine stratigraphically
where the well has penetrated.
Data Requirements
• An input log curve and any other log curves you find useful from
the offset wells
• Surface picks for the drilling well, once the drilling well crosses
the reference surface
The Type Logs for drilling and offset wells are generated in True
Stratigraphic Thickness (TST relative to the Framework reference
surface). To calculate TST, the wellbore to surface vertical distance
(TVT) and surface dip values are derived at each point in the well. TST
is calculated using the relationship:
Predicted Curves
The Horizontal Correlation view displays the drilling well’s LWD log
curves with Predicted Log Curves. Predicted Log Curves are the
expected log curve response based on the TST Type Log and the
wellbore’s stratigraphic position. The distance for the Horizontal
Correlation view is in True Horizontal Distance (THD) which is the
horizontal distance the wellbore travels from the well’s surface location.
TST distance determines the relative position on the Type Log and the
corresponding Predicted Curve value at each position on the wellbore.
In the wellbore heel to MSD region, the Predicted Curve and LWD
curves from the drilling well’s Type Log are identical. As such, HWC
correlation requires an Offset Well Type Log during the well’s initial
transition from vertical to horizontal or when drilling down dip into un-
penetrated strata. Additionally, the Predicted curve will be Null if the
drilling well’s TST depth is greater than the well or offset well type log.
The Predicted Curve will also be Null if the Framework Surface has
absent due to an unconformity, fault or the drilling well extending
beyond the Framework Surface.
• Add Control Points on the Predicted log curve’s peak or tough you
wish to correlate to the LWD curve.
• Drag and drop the Control Points anchor line to match the
correlated log curve.
In the example below, the peak on the Predicted curve (A) is correlated
with the LWD peak (B). Initially add a Control Point at the Predicted
curve’s peak (A) using the left mouse button. Drag the Control Point’s
anchor line (A) to the LWD peak (B). In this correlation the stratigraphic
depth at position A is moved to position B. The original reference
surface structure shown by the red line (Seg 0) transforms into the
correlated surface structure shown by green line segments (Seg 1 and
Seg 2).

curves will be divided into the selected number of traversals.
Spacing to 15.
Note
You set the display properties of any curve by right-clicking the curve and selecting
the Display Properties option. (For example, to set the scale and color of curve.).
Note
If the curves GR_PRJCTD_1 through GR_PRJCTD_5 are not created, you might
need to again interpret the control points with faults in the Horizontal Correlation
view. Then it will create all of the 5 curves. If needed, set the display properties of
any curve.
4. With your cursor over a control point in the interval in the Vertical
Correlation view, press the left arrow key, then click-and-drag to
create a left normal fault.
Note
Moving the Percent TVT slider to 0 results in more traversals being calculated for
a given interval, depending on the interval selected and the tortuosity of Log Curves
within it. The number of traversals is governed by how many are thicker than the
cutoff thickness, which is delineated by the user-defined Percent TVT cutoff
percentage selection. The bottom line is that more GR_PRJCTD log curves should
be produced when the slider is moved to 0.
Note
Moving the Percent TVT slider to 90 results in less traversals being calculated for
a given interval. The bottom line is that fewer GR_PRJCTD log curves should be
produced when the slider is moved to 90.

and #44, the 6507/7-A-36 and 6507/7-A-44.
6. Verify the two wells and your framework surfaces in the Cube view,
using the same LOS you created in exercise 5-1.
7. Active the two wells and the framework in the Map and Section
view, using the LOS to project the seismic LOS to the Section view.
Notice that the HWC Interpretations are toggled on, and the Fangst
GP.HD Base interpretation is selected in all view.
10. Assign the Fangst pick interpretations to the Framework object they
will be associated with.
This means that the HWC Interpretation Control Points for each
surface will not be primary sources for the FW surfaces, but rather
will be secondary sources to help shape them.
11. Refresh the FW, so that it will update the surface using the HWC
Interpretation Controls Points, in the Frameworks to Fill task pane.
12. Go back to the Cube and Section views and notice the change in
shape of the FW surfaces, which coincide with the HWC
Interpretation Control Points.
15. Watch the FW surfaces in the Map, Cube and Section views to see
the automatic update of the FW surfaces as you interpret.
If you move your mouse in between two anchor point in the THD
well correlation view the corresponding apparent dip for that section
in the framework surface will be highlighted in the report. If you add
a new IWP in between any two existing IWP the surface apparent
dip report will update automatically.
19. Activating the Section view brings up the Actions section in the
Horizontal Well Correlation tab. You will notice in the Actions
section, the Target line options are available. This option provides
users with the ability to draw wellbore target lines using two modes
– TD to point or Two points.
23. The Look ahead distance is the THD distance displayed in the
Section view down hole from the drilling well’s TD. This default
value is 1000 feet. Entering a value supersedes the distance to the
default value. The Section and Map views are updated when the
user enters a value and selects the Enter key or exits the text box.
24. Click the Two Point Target Line ( ) icon and draw a two point
target line in the HWC Section view as shown below. Placing the
cursor over either endpoint changes it to a four way cursor and
allows the user to move the endpoint.
25. Click the Target Line Report ( ) icon to view the report.
The Target Line Report ( ) icon calculates the Target Line TVD
at VS=0 and Target Line Inclination at VS=0 values and opens a
Target line report dialog box.
You will notice that TD target line originates at the wellbore TD. left
click to establish the endpoint as shown below. Placing the cursor
over the endpoint changes it to a four way cursor and allows the user
to move the endpoint.
27. Click the Target Line Report ( ) icon to view the report.
Deviation Surveys
You now have the option to load preferred deviation survey information
by using the Select Session Data dialog box and display the deviation
points in their Section, Map, or Correlation views.
1. In the Select Session Data dialog box, add the add the <WELL
POSITION LOG SURVEY> Directional Survey to the session and
click OK.
2. Toggle on the directional survey for the Section view. Hover your
cursor over one of the points that appear, and read its information.
Note
3. To reduce the number of data points that are displayed for the
directional survey, right-click the directional survey in the
Inventory task pane and select the Display Properties option. In
Section view you can also right-click in the Section view select the
Display Properties option.
5. Click OK.
Note
Directional survey data lets you see the exact position of a deviated wellbore; it is
a position log for the well. The survey shows the depth, in MD and TVD (below
Kelly Bushing) expressed in feet or meters; inclination (in feet or meters); and
azimuth (in degrees) at specific points along the wellbore. Directional surveys are
especially helpful to geosteering specialists to understand a well trajectory while it
is being drilled and to comprehend the wellbore and its related data post-drilling.
Uncertainty Range
Although the position of a surface relative to the well-bore may be
precisely known, its absolute spatial position (TVD, TVDSS) is subject
to error that is partly a function of wellbore position survey
uncertainties. This error value increases continuously along the lateral
section.
2. In the Display Properties dialog box, click the Tool Name pull-
down menu and change the Tool Name to MWD.
There is a defined survey Tool Name for this well. In the case of
multiple tools being used for a single well, rows can be added and
different tools can be defined over specific depth ranges.
Note
If you don’t see Well Planning in the Tools main menu, then after saving your
session, select File > Exit on the main menu and again launch the session. Now
select the Well Planning Module along with Geology and Geophysics, as you did
in beginning of this chapter. You are now able to see Well Planning in your main
tool menu.
5. You can also import new Survey Tool Errors directly from Well
Planning. In the DecisionSpace main window, select Tools > Well
Planning. When the Well Planning dialog box opens, select Tools
> Survey Tool Editor.
In the Directional Survey Tool Editor there are two main options
for entering the survey tool error.
6. Click the Import button to browse in the Import dialog box for the
survey tool error file.
7. Right-click the well and select the Uncertainty option, or click the
Uncertainty ( ) icon in the Actions section of the Horizontal Well
Correlation task pane.
• If the current user has Manage access to the project, editing of other
interpreter ID’s Horizontal Well Correlation Interpretations is
allowed. Other interpreter ID’s Horizontal Well Correlation
interpretations can be preferred.
• If the current user has Interpret access to the project, editing of the
other Public interpreter ID’s Horizontal Well Correlation
Interpretations is allowed. If the other interpreter ID’s access to the

• If the current user has Browse access to the project, only loading/
viewing Horizontal Well Correlation Interpretations is allowed; no
editing or saving is permitted.
• Make sure you save all of your work in your own session. This will
eliminate someone else from modifying your work without your
knowledge.
If another user deletes the interpretation you are working on, the
following dialog box appears:
Drilling Concepts
• The kickoff point (KOP), the point on the wellbore at which the
well path first departs from vertical
• The final tangent section through the target bed (for a horizontal
well it will be 90°)
Multiple targets may not be in the same vertical plane. This creates the
need to turn the wellbore sideways as you continue to drill downwards.
This gives you one more parameter to consider: The turn rate, which is
the rate of change in the well path direction with respect to a horizontal
plan. It is measured in degrees per 100 feet or per 30 meters.
Build The section of a well where the direction of the well is changed
until it reaches the desired inclination and azimuth. This has the effect
of curving the wellbore outward from the surface location.
Computed well plan A well plan that you have calculated that
incorporates engineering values you specify.
Current well plan The well plan that is currently selected for editing.
Kickoff point (KOP) The measured depth along the wellbore of the
point at which a well begins to deviate from vertical.
Rat hole Field term for a segment of the borehole dug past the end of
the last target to accommodate logging and completion equipment.
Surface location For onshore wells, the point at which the wellbore
intersects the surface of the earth.
Target An area through which a calculated well path must pass. The
size of shape of the target sets the boundaries within which the wellbore
is to be drilled. Because targets are available to an entire well plan
project, they can be assigned to one or more plans or to no plan at all.
Tool face The angle made by the plane of the bent sub (a part of the
course correction tool) with a reference direction, either magnetic
North or the direction of the high side of the hole.
Total depth (TD) The total measured distance from a reference point,
usually the rig’s rotary kelly bushing, and the bottom of the wellbore.
True vertical depth (TVD) Vertical straight line distance from the
rig’s rotary kelly bushing to a designated point at depth.

Grid Utilities
Both TracPlanner and AssetPlanner use OpenWorks grids for a number
of purposes. These purposes range from spotting platforms on land, or
the sea floor, to selecting target depths, or extracting azimuths for
orienting elliptical targets and horizontal sections.
In many of these cases, you can specify range limits for acceptable
values on those grids. It is also possible to alter the grid values in certain
areas to ‘out of range’ values, and use the grids to indicate no-go areas
for target or platform placement.
To make it easier to create these modified grids, the Grid Utilities allow
you to take an existing grid, reduce it down to your project area, and alter
portions of it based upon either the colors in an image, or directly by
areas under boundary and hazard targets. You can also create grids from
scratch if you do not already have a subsurface or topography grid that
you would like to use.
2. In the Well Planning window, select File > Open Project from >
OpenWorks.
5. In the Well Planning window, select Tools > Grid Utilities to begin
creating the desired grid type for analysis.
7. Select a surface grid from the Grid in drop-down list. Note that
only loaded surface grids will appear in this menu.
8. Select the Use grid limits check box to use the original surface grid
size. Selecting this check box will size the grid to be slightly larger
than the area encompassing existing project targets.
9. Select the Constant Value check box to indicate that you want the
grid nodes under the hazard and boundary targets to have a specific
value. Otherwise, the utility will assign the grid nodes under the
hazard and boundary targets to the values of those targets.
10. Set 1100 for the New Value field. For the purposes of this grid, the
value represents elevation.
By inputting 1100, the software sets the grid nodes under the hazard and
boundary targets to have a specific value of 1100, rather than the
elevation values of the original grid.
11. Specify the name for the modified grid in the New Grid name
field. The modified grid will be saved in OpenWorks.
13. In order to view the modified grid, first load it into the session via
the Select Session Data window.
Note that you may need to refresh the window by clicking the
Refresh button in the top horizontal menu.
14. In the main session window, ensure the Map view is selected and
use the Inventory to toggle-on the new grid and to toggle-off all
others.
Note the color bar in the Color task pane. When the modified grid is
selected in the drop-down menu, you see that blue, pink and purple
are the only values above 1100 (feet above MSL, in this particular
case). Therefore, only these colors are shown on the grid. In
addition, the No-Go areas have been extracted from the original
grid, as indicated by the arrows below.
6. Enter a name for the modified grid in the New grid name field.
The modified grid is saved in OpenWorks.
7. Refresh the entries in Select Session Data window and bring the
modified grid into the session as before.
1. Open the Grid Utilities tool and select the Create flat grid option
from the Option drop-down menu.
4. Name the modified grid in the New grid name field and click OK.
5. In Select Session Data window, refresh the session data and load
the newly modified grid.
6. In the Inventory task pane, toggle on the new grid in the Cube view
to see the new flat grid.
1. In the Well Planning tree, expand the plan containing the lateral
whose length will be modified.
Note
To modify the lateral length from both ends, two iterations of this process is
required – one with the heel adjustment, and one with the toe adjustment.
3. Ensure that Optimum Align is set to Locked. This ensures that the
trend of the lateral (azimuth) remains constant.
Here we intend to maintain the same landing curve and landing point.
Therefore, we have elected to adjust the toe. You can see its effect
immediately on the view screens (illustrated on the following page).
Note that the unselected target type (the heel) did not move.
8. Now view your extended (or shortened) laterals in the viewers and
how the planned survey has now changed in TracPlanner. When
adjusting the heel, the entire trajectory will change however much
to accommodate.
Since MD is the type of depth being adjusted, the plan will follow up the
path of the wellbore and may no longer be perpendicular the well path.
You can realign the target to be perpendicular to the well path via the
Snap Targets feature.
In addition, once the MD is adjusted, simply inputting the former value for
MD will not return the target to its original location. This is due to the fact
that the software is now adjusting the MD of an entirely new trajectory. If
possible, to revert to the original trajectory, you must select Undo.
2. Use Upper surface to select the surface above all the targets. This
drop-down list contains all the surface grids selected using the
DecisionSpace software Select Session Data dialog box.
3. Use Lower surface to select the surface below all the targets. This
drop-down list contains all the surface grids selected using the
DecisionSpace Select Session Data dialog box.
4. Edit the value in the desired cell. For example, assume a target is
located on the top surface, but you want it to be located 10 feet
above the base surface. Enter 10 in the Above Base cell for the
target. All cells related to that target will be updated. You do not
need to click the Update using Above Base button unless you have
updated a surface using another DecisionSpace module.
• If you want the change applied to all targets, click the Apply
Last Edit to All button.
• If you want to save the relationships to the targets, click the Save
to file button. Use the Load from file button at a later date to use
the specified relationships.
You should use these buttons when you have updated a surface using
another DecisionSpace module and you want to maintain the same
relationship with the surface. For example, assume you have modified the
top surface and you want the targets to remain the same distance below the
top surface. To maintain this relationship, click the Below Top column, and
then click Update using Below Top. If you want the targets to remain the
same relative distance between the surfaces, click the Percentage column,
and then click Update using Percentage.
Objective
To outline how to send well design data between the OpenWorks and
EDM (Engineer’s Data Model) databases using the Live Link between
the DS Well Planning and COMPASS applications
This workflow outlines the process required to transfer data from a field
development plan from OpenWorks to EDM via DS Well Planning in
order to fine-tune and perform further anticollision and/or other analyses
in COMPASS Finally, the workflow will demonstrate how to send
changes applied to well or field plans back to the well planning tool,
where these changes are reflected in the 3D Cube View.
Note
The screen captures and other information may not be completely accurate
depictions for use in other versions.
After selecting the Modify option, you can see the current cartographic
reference system (CRS) and modify it if needed.
You will also need to know the login information used to access the particular
EDM database of interest. Note that you can auto-populate the window by
using the Previous drop-down menu to select login information that was used
in previous data transfers.
Save to EDM
Use this feature to send well or field design information to COMPASS
(and EDM) for further development and more robust anti-collision
analysis.
This will open the EDM Login window. Here you will fill in the
location information for the EDM database of interest.
3. Click OK.
This will open the Target EDM Project window, in which you can
input a prefix and/or suffix for the sites/platforms. In addition, this
window is used to choose the EDM cartographic system and target
EDM project to where you will be saving the plan information.
The reason that the Project Level is the most detailed level to which
you can assign the plan designs, is because the geodetic data is
contained within the Map Info tab of Project Properties.
Note
All OpenWorks wells are grouped together under one site labeled
Surface Wells. They are referenced to the site center that is defined
by the first OpenWorks well that was copied over.
Note in the hierarchy for COMPASS that not one of the original
COMPASS designs or surveys were overwritten, or otherwise
edited. The movement of data via the DS Well Planning tool ensures
that no data is overwritten; rather it makes copies if necessary. This
protects surveys stored within COMPASS via EDM, as well as
makes is possible to view iterations side-by-side to see what
progress is being made.
2. Save your changes and navigate to the DS Well Planning tool again.
Select Data > Load from EDM.
3. Select the desired sites to transfer from EDM and the EDM
cartographic reference system to keep the well location reference
datum the same.
Note
If the Inventory and Tools task panes are located on the same side of the main
session window, you must MB3 on only one of task pane tabs and select either
Move to right or Move to left. This will allow for the separation of the task panes
that is needed in order to drag data into the ISet.
• Dragging data from the top or bottom panes of the Select Session
Data tool
• Dragging data from one ISet to another within the Edit/Browse tab
Note
When dragging data from one Iset to another, the data is not actually moved. The
item is merely associated with the new Interpretation Set.
In GIS, you can use the datum shift system to go from one CRS to
another. There is a datum shift that can be defined using the “Set
Cartographic Reference System” dialog. This is the map datum shift
from the map CRS to the CRS called WGS84. Another datum shift can
be defined through the Transformation tab on the Layer Properties
dialog box. This is the layer datum shift from the layer CRS to WGS84.
Internally, the software will combine the two and compose the final
datum shift from the layer to the map. If two layers have the same CRS,
defining the datum shift once is adequate. If the map CRS is already in
WGS84, there is no need to define the map datum shift. If the layer CRS
is already in WGS84, there is no need to define the layer datum shift.
3. Select the option that applies to the conversion you want, then click
OK.
2. Select the appropriate radio button, and then select the desired
transformation.
We suggest that your choice of interface look & feel be predicated not
only on your personal preference, but more importantly, on the ambient
lighting environment of your office. As a general rule, when you use
your computer, your ambient lighting should be about half as bright as
images being display on your computer screen. This will significantly
reduce eye strain and fatigue.
The light look is the default, but there is another look (interface), for
your use called dark, as shown above.
Note
The interface chosen or left as the default will become part of the user preferences.
That is, each time a session is opened, new or saved, the last interface (Dark vs.
Light) will be the interface for that session.
In addition, OpenWorks applications will honor the interface setting chosen here as
well.
In addition, with the Shared Memory Manager, you will have the
ability to:
1. MB3 the name of a seismic volume (not the 3D Survey name) in the
Inventory tree and select Load to Shared Memory.
Advanced
Loading Options:
Limit by decimation,
scale, etc.
2. Click OK to proceed.
Note
Use <Ctrl> and <Shift> to load more than one volume simultaneously.
Here you can also choose to save the seismic volume as a .vol file.
5. Click Yes to remove the seismic volume from the Shared Memory.
Note that this will not delete the volume from the OpenWorks
project database.
