Where Do I Start?

The sequence of steps to take in using LogPlot depends a lot on what kind of data you have and what kind of log you are creating. LogPlot is used in a variety of industries, to display shallow soil borings, monitoring wells, hard rock drill holes, geophysical logs, mud/gas logs, and many more.

Here we list some sample workflows for LogPlot.

Workflow 1: Choose a log design / enter your data / create your log.

Use this workflow for environmental logs, geotechnical logs, most mudlogs and mining logs.

Where you can get more information:

• A few tutorial lessons: Compile a tutorial data set, and Modify an existing log.
• Sample Log Designs and Data Files: Pick a design that looks like what you want to create)
• Where do I Start Designing?: Customize the design with your logo, rearrange columns, etc.
• Automatic Data File Tools: Add datasheets to your data file to match the log design.
• Creating Your Log: Set the depth range and plot scale, and voila!
• Viewing Your Log: Scroll through the graphic log; print, and export for colleagues and reports.
• 
  

Workflow 2: Import LAS data / create a log design / compile your log.

Use this workflow for generating geophysical logs from existing LAS files.
