Getting Started with Mapping
This guide demonstrates how to load data, create cross-sections in the .cpi and .map files, load deviation surveys, add zone definitions, set project projections, and generate structure and isopach maps. This is followed by styling maps and adding 2D and 3D views.
Sample Data
For this tutorial you will need well log, well header, production, and shape file data. You can download them using these links:
- Well log data
- Well header data
- Formation tops data
- Production data (CSV format / Excel format)
- Wyoming Counties Shapefile and Projection
- Wyoming Townships Shapefile and Projection
Step 1: Loading Data
To get started you will first need to upload some data to Danomics. In the video below we show how to upload well log, well header, well tops, production, and shapefile data.
Making cross-sections in a petrophysics project
In this video we demonstrate how to make cross-sections and pick tops in a petrophysics project.
Making cross-sections in a map project
In this video we demonstrate how to make cross-sections in a .map file, which offers some improvements such as the ability to display multiple cross-sections at once.
Adding deviations, zones, and projections
In this video we demonstrate how to import and process deviations, create zone definitions, and set the project projections. This is a crucial step before we begin making structure and isopach maps.
Basic structure grids
In tis video we demonstrate how to make basic structure grids both in the petrophysics project and by using the Flow tools.
Advanced structure grids
In this video we demonstrate how to make more advanced structure grids that simultaneously consider the structure and isopach thickness to ensure that in areas of sparse data that the structure grids never cross (i.e., the implied isopach thickness is always greater than or equal to zero).
Isopach grids
In this video we demonstrate how to make isopach grids in both a petrophysics project and using the Flow tools.
Styling maps with shape files, overlays, and 2D and 3D views
In this video we demonstrate how to add shape files including filled acreage overlays, production bubble overlays, and we then finish with 2D and 3D views.
Summary
Congratulations on completing the Welcome Guide for mapping in Danomics. Although there is significantly more functionality available, the knowledge taken from the videos above should provide you with the fundamentals needed to make meaningful map displays.
