Introduction
LogEdit enables you to prepare and edit digitized log curves and
core data. You can view Curve, Depth, Pick Name, Pick Line, and
Well Notes tracks. Techniques such as depth shifting, curve
splicing, and baseline shifting aid you in preparing your data for
further interpretation. Other editing features enable you to correct
curves for cycle skipping and for noise spikes, and to fill in null
value gaps.
Curve Utility enables you to view, sort, filter, copy, rename, delete,
and generate reports on curves within one or more wells.

StratUtils Documentation
PetroWorks/LogEdit applications share a set of project management,
data management, visualization, and mapping utilities with StratWorks.
Documentation for these utilities appears in the following StratWorks
manuals:

In addition to the PetroWorks/LogEdit and StratWorks manuals, you
may occasionally need to refer to several OpenWorks manuals to
perform certain tasks. These manuals include
R2003.12.1
Manual Conventions
This manual uses certain conventions to explain how to use various

LogEdit Features
LogEdit functionality allows you to prepare data for processing and
interpretation. If you are an experienced PetroWorks user or familiar
with log editing, click on the highlighted functionality to go to the steps
of these tasks:
R2003.12.1
Shifting Depths
A curve is shifted to match other curves, either from different
services, or because there have been problems with loading the
curve. The shift can be a bulk shift (the same shift value
applied to all depths), or a multiple tie-line (the curve is
stretched and squeezed, like a rubber band, to another curve).
Splicing Curves
Although OpenWorks automatically splices curves when the
curves are requested by Curve Name or Curve Details, there are
times when specific curves need to be spliced, or the splice
needs to happen in a specific, and unusual, location.
Creating Picks
Picks can be added, modified, and deleted with the depth
determined graphically or by entering a depth value.
Track Types
LogEdit recognizes Depth, Curve, Pick Name, Pick Line, and Well
Notes tracks. LogEdit honors most attributes associated with these
tracks in Well Template Editor, as described below.
Depth Track
LogEdit displays measured depth (MD) centered in the track regardless
of the depth type and placement chosen for the track in Well Template
Editor.
R2003.12.1
Curve Track
LogEdit can display any scalar curve tracks.
LogEdit honors Curve Display Parameters: Scalar Type, Left Scale,
Right Scale, some Line Types, some Display Types, Line Color, Curve
Source, and Substitute Curves.
LogEdit does not honor Lattice Parameters, Curve Fills, Importance
Level, Location in Track, or Scale Display Parameters.

Click on the reference curve. Drag and drop the curve to the
reference curves desired depth location. A line is drawn from the
original curve at the chosen depth point to the new depth location.
4.
Remember:
This type of depth shifting, also called rubber band depth shifting, will stretch and
squeeze the data in the edited curve. The top and bottom points of the curve are
fixed in depth, so stretching can occur over the entire length of the curve. See
Appendix 1 for more details of multiple tie line depth shifting.
R2003.12.1

To stop editing and save your work, select the Save Editing icon
or MB3 Save Edits. The Curves to be Depth Shifted window
appears. Select additional curves to shift in exactly the same way.
You can save the depth shift curve with any name.
When toggled on, this icon is used to shift data a constant depth
amount. Although rare, this can be caused by incorrect depths provided
to the logging engineer, or by improper settings in data acquisition
parameters.
Workflow
1.
Toggle on Curve from the Edit Mode area and select a curve to
edit.
2.
3.
The Bulk Depth Shift window appears. Click on the curve at the
depth that you want to shift. The New Depth and Shift Amount
values change as you move the cursor up and down the window.
Release the cursor when you achieve the correct depth or shift
amount. At any time, you can enter either a New Depth or a Shift
Amount to specify the exact amount of shift to apply to the curve.
Reference Depth is the original depth at which the cursor was
placed on the curve to be depth shifted.
Original Top Depth is the curve to be depth shifted.
Original Base Depth of the curve to be depth shifted.
R2003.12.1
20
New Depth is the depth to shift the reference depth.. You can also
enter a value in this text field. (The Shift Amount text field
changes in response to any entry in this field.)
New Top Depth is the current top depth of the curve, calculated
from the current shift amount.
New Base Depth is the new base depth of the curve, calculated
from the current shift amount.
Shift Amount is the current amount that the curve is shifted. You
can also enter a value in this text field. (The New Depth text field
changes in response to any entry in this field.)
Note:
If you click on the curve again, you can again move the curve graphically.
However, the Shift Amount value is reset to zero. If you accept the shift after this
second move, the curve is shifted by only the amount shown, not by the total
amount that you wanted to shift.
When you graphically shift the curve a second time, you are essentially starting the
shift process over from the beginning.

Baseline Shift
When toggled on, this icon is used primarily for SP baselines which
often drift over many hundreds or thousands of feet of depth. Removing
the drift; that is, making the baseline a constant value, simplifies the
processing of the SP for clay volume (Vclay) or formation water
resistivity (Rw), and improves the display of the data.
Workflow
1.
Select Curve from the Edit Mode and select a curve to edit.
2.
3.
Starting at the top-most point that you want to shift, click points on
the curve that are a consistent baseline value. When editing is
complete, the curve values correspond to the baseline points that
were selected; that is, the difference between the value of the curve
at any point and the baseline value remains the same as in the
original curve..
Remember:
The location of the baseline is determined by both the depth and the scale value of
the cursor on the track.

You can edit core data by depth shifting all the points in a selected
interval, by stretching or squeezing a selected interval from the top or
bottom depth or both, or by flipping the data in a selected interval.
Before you can edit core data you must set up the LogEdit display
correctly and select an interval of core data to edit.
2.
Add one (or more) of the new related curves (with the COREn_
prefix). When choosing a track, core curve, and display options,
note the following:
One of the curves you add will be the reference or master
core curve. You will use this curve in the process of building
your shift factors. When you save your edits, the other related
curves will be shifted along with the master core curve.
The track you use should be one in which you have some
reference log data to which you want to match your core data
(e.g., you might put CORE1_GR in a track with a Gamma Ray
log, or CORE1_PHIE in a track with a porosity log).
Alternatively, you could add the master curve to a blank track,
then add the reference curve.
When you shift the core data you will be able to move the core
data points up and down but not left and right to seek a good
match with the reference curve. Keep this in mind when setting
right and left scale values for the reference curve(s). You can
also adjust the curve scales as you work, by using the Set
Depth Display Parameters icon.
R2003.12.1
48
You can reset the Zoom Range or the Display Scale while you
edit.

Click on the master curve in the track or on the master curve name
in the track header area. The selected data turns white (or black if
the background color is white).
4.
5.
If the core curves are the ones you expected, click on Continue in
the message box; otherwise, click on Cancel and perform the
Relate Core Curves operation to create the set of related curves
you want.
Note that if you cancel at this step and you continue relating core
curves in the current LogEdit session, the integer in the COREn_
prefix continues to increment. You can use Curve Utility to delete
new core curves resulting from false starts or mistakes, but
LogEdit will not reinitialize the core integer counter until you exit
and restart the LogEdit application.

Two lines appear horizontally in the track. These guide lines snap
to the shallowest and deepest points to be moved. (If you select
just one point, Log Edit places a guide line 1 foot (0.3048 m)
above and 1 foot (0.3048 m) below the data point.) All selected
points display in red. Unselected points remain white (or black).
7.
Now you can edit the selected points in any or all of the following
ways:
depth shift all the points in the interval
stretch or compress the interval from the top or bottom depth or
both
flip the data in the interval
For simplicity, each editing procedure is discussed separately.
However, you can perform any or all of these editing procedures in
one editing session before saving your edits. For example, you can
depth shift the core data, then flip the data before saving the edits.

position. The shift is temporary until you save the edits.
If you shift core data over core data outside the interval, a message
displays, asking you to select:

2.
Drag the line up or down to the desired depth. The dashed line
indicates the position of the shifted guideline. Both the original
points and the shifted points display. Interval points closer to the
guideline you are moving are shifted more than are points farther
from the guideline.
If core data exist above or below your interval, you will not be able
to move past the data point nearest to the interval.
3.
Release MB1. The solid guide line now indicates the shifted
interval position. The shift is temporary until you save the edits.
4.
Flipping Depths
After comparing your core data to other reference curves, you may
discover that your data are upside down (for example, if a segment of
core got turned upside down sometime on its way from the rig floor to
the laboratory).
1.
After you have selected an interval, place the cursor between the
two marked depths.
You do not need to stretch the rectangle so that it includes all
points you want to grab, just stretch to the desired depth. All points
inside this depth interval are selected.

Appendix
Appendix 1: Details of Multiple Tie Line Depth Shifting
This method enables you to pick multiple points on an off-depth curve
and graphically tie them to points on your reference curve. You can
stretch or compress a portion of an off-depth curve using this method.
To visualize what happens, think of the off-depth curve as being
anchored or pinned down at the depths you choose from the reference
curve. Intervals in the off-depth curve are compressed or stretched as
necessary to match the anchored depths. The off-depth points in the
interval are interpolated.
In the following example, the DT curve is not on depth with the GR
curve. Using the GR curve as the reference curve measuring depth, you
shift the off-depth DT curve relative to it by picking a number of tie
lines. After you save your edits, you can save the resulting depth offset
curve and later apply the same depth offset to other curves.

Introduction
Petrophysical interpretive applications and models require parameters
that control computational results and program flow. For example,
calculations of mineral properties, fluid properties, and processing
flows are based on the availability and quality of the input. Wellbore
Parameter Editor (WPE) is a PetroWorks utility that lets you view and
edit wellbore parameter data for use in PetroWorks applications and
petrophysical models.
70
Saving Your Work (page 116) describes several ways to save the
changes you have made.
Parameters
Wellbore parameters are defined here as quantities that are used along
with well curve data to make petrophysical calculations or to direct the
flow of a computational program. Parameters are grouped in WPE by
their functions, such as fluid parameters or program logic. In a broader
sense, parameters can also fall into two general categoriesmodel/
application-specific parameters and global (shared) parameters. Model
and application-specific parameters are those usually specific to a
particular interpretive model or application, and which are not used in
other applications.
All parameters used by PetroWorks models are written to the database
(and optionally to an external file) through WPE. WPE uses a
spreadsheet interface that allows you to enter parameters for any or all
of your models, for any or all of your wells, for any or all of your strat
units, and for any or all passes, at one time.
Once parameters are saved with WPE, you access them through
whatever model is appropriate. Computations can be applied to one or
more wells over the total depth range, a specific depth interval, or
restricted to only specified strat units. Results are saved as new curves
in the project database.
Global, or shared parameters, as their name implies, can be shared
between different interpretive applications. These shared parameters, in
their strictest definition, are descriptors of the earth properties around
the wellbore; the earth model. They are quantities that are measured
from a sample of the rock (including its fluids) taken from the well, like
the resistivity of the formation water, or the density of the rock matrix.
However, here, the strict definition of shared has been slightly relaxed
to include those widely used interpretive parameters that may not be
measurable outside the wellbore but that have wide and consistent
values between interpretive applications.
PetroWorks and WPE support shared parameters. Furthermore, users
who write ModelBuilder models, which are accessed through WPE,
can specify parameters as being shared or not shared.
The shared parameters can exist in a interpretive application, which is
a grouping of similar shared parameters, and they can also exist in
specific models or applications alongside the unshared parameters.
R2003.12.1
71
Geo-centric
For geo-centric interpretive applications (that is, all interpretive
applications except Environmental Corrections), WPE retrieves
parameters by levels: Strat Unit/Well, Strat Unit, Well, and/or
Project. WPE attempts to access parameters defined at the finest
resolution (Strat Unit/Well) first, cycling up to the coarsest resolution
(Project), and then to hard-coded default values.

R2003.12.1
73
Pass-centric
For pass-centric applications such as Environmental Corrections, WPE
uses a pass-centric level inheritance. WPE retrieves parameters at the
Pass/Run/Service/Well level. WPE attempts to access parameters
defined at the finest resolution (Pass/Run/Service/Well) first, and then
only to hard-coded default values.

Units of Measure
WPE takes advantage of the OpenWorks session measurement system.
It displays parameters in the units as defined by the current
Measurement System and converts parameters to the proper value if
Measurement System is changed during the session. (For more
discussion of measurement systems, see Systems and Units of
Measurement on page 61 of the Introduction to PetroWorks Family of
Products manual.
Often, algorithms are constructed with specified units of measure.
When this is the case, even though WPE presents the parameters in the
units of the current measurement system, the algorithm retrieves the
parameters converted to the units it has specified.
Spreadsheet Format
The first time you run WPE, it displays the parameters associated with
the application you choose and with the associated default parameter
values in a spreadsheet format.
Because changes to parameter values are associated with your
interpreter identification, the changes you make are reflected in all
subsequent WPE sessions you initiate as that interpreter.
WPEs spreadsheet environment lets you use copy and paste tools to
edit parameters. You can also use a variety of other editing tools to
view default values, reset a cell value, set a cell value to null, and
R2003.12.1
78
Saving Parameters
At any point during the editing process, you can store the current
parameter settings to OpenWorks using the Save option. The
parameters are saved to the current project. When executing, models
will not use changed parameters until the parameters are saved to
OpenWorks.
You can save a snapshot of your current parameter settings to a
petrophysical parameter (.ppp) file, an ASCII file that is written to and
created by the Wellbore Parameter Editor. You can also save your
parameters to an SDF file, which allows you to use your quantitative
parameter data in MathPack.

values, out-of-range values, and insensitive (unchangeable) values.
Flags that indicate these conditions, which are described below, are
turned on by default. A check in the checkbox and a green background
color indicate a flag in turned on. To deactivate a flag, click on the
toggle button next to the flag description. Click on the button again to
turn the flag on.
R2003.12.1
101
Inherited Values
When the value of a cell has been defaulted or inherited from another
parameter, it appears in italics or regular type with a white background.
If the value appears in italics, it was defaulted or inherited from another
parameter. That is, the parameter does not have a defined value in the
database for the current interpreter. Its value has been improvised from
a default, is based on inheritance rules (see below), and/or has been
taken from another interpreters value for this parameter.
If the value is in regular type with a white background, the value exists
in the project database for the interpreter and specific data selection.
Inheritance Rules
Level Inheritance
The Wellbore Parameter Editor (WPE) presents parameter values
according to "inheritance rules." These rules let you define parameter
values at various levels of detail. Interpretive applications use these
rules to obtain parameter values even when the values are not explicitly
defined at a particular level of detail. The WPE uses the rules in the
same manner as an interpretive application. The inheritance rules
therefore allow the WPE to present in the spreadsheet the same values
that the interpretive application will use.
This is how the rules work for typical interpretive application (noncurve) parameters when the depth interval has been set to "Unit
Selections":
R2003.12.1
1.
First, WPE looks for an explicit parameter value defined for the
Strat Unit/Well (the intersection of a particular Strat Unit in a
particular Well).
2.
If it does not find the an explicit parameter value defined for the
Strat Unit/Well, it looks for an explicit parameter value defined for
the Strat Unit.
3.
If it does not find an explicit parameter value defined for the Strat
Unit, it looks for an explicit parameter value defined for the Well.
4.
If it does not find an explicit parameter value defined for the Well,
it looks for an explicit parameter value defined for the Project.
102
5.
6.
If it does not find an explicit parameter value defined for the (hardcoded) default value, it uses the null value.
Given the above, the most general level at which a user can specify a
parameter is the Project level. The most specific level at which a user
can specify a parameter is the Strat Unit/Well level. When you write an
application using ModelBuilder, you can specify the default value. The
null value is defined by the system. Also notice in WPE that the tabs at
the bottom of the spreadsheet are laid out from general to specific from
the left to right.
Input and output curve parameters follow a similar, but different
hierarchy (again, specific to general):
Well
Project
default value
null value
R2003.12.1
103
In WPE, when you look at a Cell Details panel for a cell value in
italics, the Defined by Current Interpreter field will indicate No and
show from where its value was inherited according to these rules.
R2003.12.1
104
Like inherited values from another level, values inherited from another
interpreter appear in italics in WPE. The Cell Details panel Defined by
current interpreter field will indicate No and show you from where
its value was inherited.
105
Remember that you can always view Cell/Parameter Detail (page 107)
for more information about the value. If the value is in bold with a
white background, the value exists in the project database for the
interpreter and specific data selection.
Modified Values
When the value has been modified, it appears with a yellow
background in either a regular or italic font.
If it appears with regular type on a yellow background, the value has
been modified and has not been saved to the project database.
If it appears in italics with a yellow background, the parameter database
value has been marked for deletion and will be removed at the next
user-directed save operation. The inherited value displayed shows the
effect as though the value has been removed.
R2003.12.1
106
Out-of-Range Values
Out-of-range values appear in red characters with a white background.
The value is out of range for the current application.
Insensitive Values
If a value is insensitive based on the state of one or more parameters for
the same data selection (row), the value appears in regular type with a
grey background. You cannot change it.

The options you have using MB3 depend on the parameter you
selected. Options also vary within parameter type. For example, some
parameters require a yes or no entry, (or some variation indicating a yes
or no response) while others require a numeric value, or name.
However, for global parameters, the following options are always
listed. If an option is not available, it still appears on the list but it
appears in gray letters instead of black.

List Manager on page 6 in the PetroWorks/LogEdit Project
Management manual.
Environmental Corrections does not use Curve Aliases.
Except for Temperature curves, the Environmental Corrections application does not
use curve aliases. Unlike interpretation models, which use data that has already
been processed to remove equipment related issues, Environmental Corrections is
intended for curves that have not been already processed to remove equipment
issues. Environmental Corrections input curves are therefore different from input
curves for interpretive models and should not share curves with the interpretation
models. Consequently, the Environmental Corrections application does not use the
aliases mechanism.

you request a new application either from the WPE main window, or by
selecting Edit Parameters from an interpretive application or user model.
R2003.12.1
117
It's important to note that only the current interpreter's parameters are
saved to PPP files. These parameters have the distinct visual cue of
using bold font to display the value. In particular, inherited values
(displayed with an italic font) are not saved to the PPP files.
Consequently, when an interpreter restores one of his or her own
parameter sets, results may not be exactly reproducible from earlier
processing unless
118
was saved (and therefore weren't written to the file). ABC's interpreter
source priority list looked like {ABC, DEF, *} and some of the
inherited values were coming from values defined as DEF. If ABC's
interpreter source priority hasn't changed, but DEF has modified some
of his values, results will vary from earlier processing even though
ABC's parameter settings have been restored.
Likewise, if ABC restored parameters from a PPP file and his
interpreter source priority list has been changed to {ABC, *} or {ABC,
HIJ}, results will vary from earlier processing since any values
inherited from DEF will be replaced with values inherited from another
interpreter or defaults.
If you want your project to be saved to a file that you can retrieve at a
later time, you can choose Export to PPP File from the File Main
Window options. This can be useful if, for example, you want to run
several different parameter scenarios, if you want to archive your
parameters, or if you want to move parameters from one project to
another. Follow the steps below to save your work to a PPP file:

Overview
StratUnit Editor gives you the ability to define stratunits (zones) for
wells where no stratunits (zones) have been defined. You can create
multiple picks for a stratunits surfaces, and you can process stratunits
across multiple applications, including MathPack, Tabular Listing, and
interpretive models. With the aid of this application, you can add,
modify (copy), and delete stratunits and surfaces for a project, as well
as, add, delete, or modify any picks that you have interpreted for the
selected well.
Because surfaces, stratunits, and faults must be defined in the
stratigraphic column before you can display or interpret them within
StratWorks, all stratunits that are added or modified in StratUnit Editor
are automatically updated in the stratigraphic column. The framework
of this column can consist of multiple column types, and from within
StratUnit Editor you can assign units to any of the column types in a
stratigraphic column. However, you cannot create a column in
StratUnit Editor. For a high-level comparison of these two utilities, see
Comparing StratUnit Editor to Strat Column Editor on page 128.
By communicating with Source Priority, StratUnit Editor gives you the
ability to view other interpreters picks for a unit. A What If feature
allows you to experiment with different Source Priority settings.
R2003.12.1
124
Definition of Terms
Differentiating Units from Units of Measurement
The term unit is used throughout the PetroWorks applications to mean the interval
between two (top and base) surfaces. Note that the term (stratunit) is placed in
parentheses to the right of the word unit to distinguish an interval from units of
measurement.
What Is a Unit?
Throughout our products, we use the terms unit and strat_unit
synonymously. A unit (strat_unit) is defined by an upper and lower
bounding surface, the TOP and BASE. Surfaces may have multiple
picks. From within the StratUnit Editor, you can create, modify, or
delete a unit. All units belong to a column and have a data source. Only
the person who creates the unit can modify it or remove it.
What Is a Pick?
A pick marks an interpretive point of interest in a wellbore and is
conventionally treated as a surface intersection. A surface may have
multiple picks with each pick set being characterized by a userspecified geologic feature (e.g., upper fold). Used in conjunction with
units, picks are values that conventionally indicate the depth at which a
surface passes through a well. Although you cannot change pick values
that other interpreters have entered from within this application, you
can create new picks and interpretively assign values to them. You can
also modify and delete picks that you (the current interpreter) have
created.
R2003.12.1

the closest pick above (the new pick) that has a surface associated
with it. This pick need not belong to the current interpreter.
the closest pick below that has a surface associated with it. This
pick need not belong to the current interpreter.
the ages of the surfaces associated with the picks above and below
the new pick
The application then linearly interpolates the age of the new surface
based on the relative position of the three picks in the well. The
approximate ages calculated for a new surface may differ depending
upon:
which other picks are in that well at the time that the new surface
is added and the geologic age is approximated.

Description/Remarks
Well (Name)
[Log Curve: Wellid]
The curve name as specified using the current OpenWorks well format; can be set
using OpenWorks Project Status tool.
Curve Name
[Log Curve: Log Crv
Name]
Partial key (1 of 5) for log curves. The name, or mnemonic, of a log curve. In the
OpenWorks model, used as a partial key to uniquely identify log curves.
Logging Service
[Log Curve: Log Name]
Partial key (2 of 5) for log curves. The logging service or the pseudo-service that
created the curve.
logging service
The source of a log curve. Within the acquisition context, the service is identified by
a trade name for the logging service. Also, the identifier or handle that names a
toolstring associated with this service. The name may be an aggregate of a
toolstrings tool mnemonics. In the OpenWorks model, used as a partial key to
uniquely identify log curves.
pseudo-service
Within the context of composite runs for log curves, identifies the source of a curve
that is not associated with a specific acquisition toolstring. Interpretive applications
in PetroWorks produce curves with a (pseudo-)service PETROWORKS.
See the Introduction to PetroWorks Family of Products manual (page 145) for list of
logging services and pseudo-services.
Run
[Log Curve: Log Run No]
Partial key (3 of 5) for log curves. In the OpenWorks model, a serial counter for
toolstring descents used as a a key to uniquely identify log curves.
Composite run: A run that is not associated with a specific toolstring descent.
Composite-run curves (or composite log curves) attempt to maximize coverage of the
log data over a well bore.
Composite curves may be created in LogEdit within PetroWorks by manually
splicing separate runs together. Composite curves can also be created automatically
via a process known as auto-compositing, where separate numbered runs are
assembled to produce a composite.
Interpretive applications generally use composite-run curves as input and produce
outputs with a composite run under the pseudo-service PETROWORKS.
In the OpenWorks model, a composite run is conventionally represented with a run
value of C.
(Logging) Pass
[Logging Tool Pass: Log
Pass Id]
Partial key (4 of 5) for log curves. Within any given toolstring descent, the toolstring
may make multiple unidirectional movements in the wellbore. A pass records the
interval, direction, etc. of this movement.
Also, the identifier or handle that names a pass, e.g., MAIN or REPEAT.
In the OpenWorks model, used as a partial key to uniquely identify log curves.
R2003.12.1
160
Description/Remarks
Partial key (5 of 5) for log curves. In the OpenWorks model, a serial counter beneath
name, service, run, and pass. Used as a partial key to uniquely identify log curves.
Version number is a serial counter under name and run. Each new curve is created as
a unique version within the name/run combination. This approach prevents
overwriting of data but, unless effectively managed, also leads to large projects.
The interpreter used when the data were created; the data source owns the curve. An
asterisk (*) after the Data Source indicates that the current interpreter cannot delete
that curve.

Routine]
The routine, utility, or application used to import or to create the log data, e.g., CUCOPY for the routine in Curve Utility, crvldr for Curve Loader, TabEdt for
Tabular Edit, and BlkShf for the Bulk Shift routine in LogEdit.
Creation User
Log Curve: Create User
ID]
The Owner name associated with the Interpreter that created or modified the curve.
If the Create Routine occurs in a Landmark product the Creation User is LMSYS.
Unit of measurement associated with a log curve and describing its data, as stored in
an OpenWorks project database. This is not necessarily the Value Working Uom or
the Log Crv Unit Meas value.
(Depth) Inc(crement)

Qualifiers
[Log Curve Qualifier:
Qualifier Name]
An adjective that describes a log curve, specifically the intrinsic properties and/or
processing steps performed to create the data. Qualifiers provide broad
classifications and can help users decide how to handle data, i.e., based on what has
been done to the data decide what needs to be done next. In the OpenWorks model,
values are based on American Petroleum Institute RP-66 Property Indicators (with
extensions).
Log curve qualifiers may be used in conjunction with others in various combinations,
and some may be mutually exclusive. They are attached to a log curve by the creating
process, e.g., PATCHED [Tabular] or DEPTH-MATCHED [BulkDS].

You can modify the curve display area by using the Display
Customization icon buttons and by moving columns. (See
Customizing the Display on page 174.) You can also view curve
qualifiers and curve details directly in the display area. (See Viewing
and Editing Curve Information on page 166.)
You can display Logging Job Detail information with a curve if the
#DOALL Logging Tool Config option was selected when the curve
was loaded to OpenWorks. For more information, refer to the
OpenWorks Data Import/Export manual.

After you have selected the wells you want, click on the OK
button to close the dialog box.
Curve Utility loads curves from all the selected wells and lists
them in the display area. This may take some time but you can
decrease the time by accepting the default value (No) for Retrieve
Logging Job Details. The Status Area of the main window tells
you the progress. Note that if any Filter/Select criteria are active,
those criteria are applied. Only those curves meeting the criteria
are selected/visible. If you are in Delete or History Mode, the
window also tells you how many curves are displayed.

You must choose all the data fields you want to filter/select on
before applying the filter. The application does not process nested
filter/select procedures. For example, if you filter on Curve Name,
apply the filter, then try to filter the resulting curve list on Logging
Service, you will get the original curve list filtered only on
Logging Serviceyour Curve Name filtering will be lost.

Copying Curves
You can copy both periodic and nonperiodic (but not multidimensional) curves within the selected well. When you copy a curve,
you also copy all its attributes, such as curve qualifiers. When copying
a curve, you can interpolate and/or bulk shift the curve. If you have
Manager status, you can also edit the Service, Run, and Pass values of
copied curves.
To copy a curve,

Select a curve from the Curve Display area. You can copy only one
curve at a time.

192
In the Input Curve Information section, you can accept the Depth
defaults if you want to copy the entire curve, or you can type new
values for the Top and/or Bottom Depths to copy just a portion of
the curve.
You may want to change top/bottom depths for the following
reasons:
You know data exist over only a certain interval and you want
to change the curves top and bottom depths to match the
interval.
You want to add an interval to the top and/or bottom of the
curve.
You want to create a synthetic curve.
To Change the Units of Measurement for Depth...
If you wish to change the units of measurement for the Curve Display area,
toggle the Feet/Meters button or select Depth Units from the Options menu
and choose Feet or Meters. Changing Units while the Copy/Rename a Curve
dialog box is open dismisses the dialog box and unselects your curve in the
main window display area.
5.
Notice that the top button in the Output Curve Information area
contains the name of the selected well. By default, the selected
curve is copied to the selected well.
You can copy composite curve data to another well. To do so, click
on the Well button and select a well from the list. The selected well
name appears on the button.

If you are copying a curve, the Run Number defaults to that of the
selected curve. If you are creating a curve, the Run Number
defaults to 1.
If you have Manager status and you have chosen Options >
Project Manager Features > Enable Editing during Curve
Copy from the Main Menu, you can change the Service, Run, and
Pass values.
R2003.12.1
194
The values in the Service, Pass Type, and Pass ID list boxes
depend on whether the Run value is Composite/Processed (C) or
Acquisition (an integer).

To interpolate only, retain the default value for the Top Depth
and type a new sample increment.
To bulk shift the curve, type a new value for the Top Depth and
non-zero value for the Sample Increment.
