Data types and nodes

Reference

Installing GeoData Manager

The Geology Module

These data types hold geology data, both from wells and from field sites.

Choosing a data type/node to use

Choose the correct data type category to use depending on the kind of data you want to enter or work with:

For this kind of data Choose this data type
Well lithology Well lithology
Well stratigraphy Well stratigraphy
Well alteration Well alteration
Well interpretation Well interpretation
Alteration - point data Alteration - point data
Secondary minerals Secondary minerals
Mud logging Mud logging
Cores and cuttings Core Register - by Well
or Core Register - by Section
Surface geology Surface geology
Faults and fractures Faults and fractures
Rock properties Rock properties
Rock chemistry Rock chemistry

Geology column graphs

Quick and Multiple Graphs of well lithology, formation and alteration show as column graphs read more.

Well Lithology

Well lithology is derived from cores and/or cuttings, and is entered using the ROCKTYPE Stratigraphy Type. First enter the rock types for the lookup.

Well stratigraphy

Stratigraphic formations are entered using the FORMATION Stratigraphy Type. First enter the formations for the lookup.

Well alteration

Generalised alteration zones can be entered using the ALTERATION Stratigraphy Type. First enter the alteration types for the lookup.

Well interpretation

Interpreted geological well data can be entered using the INTERPRETED Stratigraphy Type. First enter the interpretation types for the lookup; they are stored in the same table at the formation lookup.

Alteration - point data

Secondary Minerals

Secondary mineral types and abundances can be entered using the MINERALS Stratigraphy Type. First enter the Secondary minerals for the lookup.

Mud logging

Core Register - by Well

The core register is a list of the cores or cuttings from a well:

Enter or work with core register data at this node read more.

Core Register - by Section

This displays the same data as Core Register - by Well above, but has all the data in the header window to allow you to select cores by their data read more. You can only work with core data at this node; enter data at the Core Register - by Well node.

Surface geology

Faults and fractures

Rock Properties

Rock properties from both wells and surface rocks can be stored at the Rock Properties node. Before entering data from a surface rock sample, the sample site must be first defined. All wells are automatically considered to be sample sites. All rocks can be assigned both a rock type and a formation from two lookups.

Rock Chemistry

Rock chemistry from both wells and surface rocks can be stored at the Rock Chemistry node. Before entering data from a surface rock sample, the sample site must be first defined. All wells are automatically considered to be sample sites. The data can be assined a rock type and also a sample area from two lookups.
