RockWorks | Borehole Operations | Stratigraphy | Consolidate
This data tool is used to consolidate contiguous stratigraphic intervals with identical formation names into a single interval. This utility is primarily designed for users who are importing data from other programs that store data at uniform intervals. Since RockWorks does not allow stratigraphic formations to repeat within a borehole, this can be a handy method for quick consolidation.
! IMPORTANT NOTE: Beware that if you have any additional information listed to the right of the keywords, only the first entry of the consolidated interval will be retained.
Feature Level: RockWorks Basic and higher
- Boreholes to Include: Use these options to define which records are to be consolidated.
- All Boreholes (Enabled & Disabled): Choose this option to modify the stratigraphy data for all boreholes in the current project.
- Only Enabled Boreholes: Choose this option to modify the stratigraphy data only for the boreholes currently set to a status of "enabled" (shown with check-marks by their names in the main Borehole Manager window).
- Currently Highlighted Borehole (Single Borehole): Choose this option to modify the stratigraphy data for a single borehole only.
- Current Borehole Name: This will default to the borehole that is currently selected in the Borehole Manager. Use the drop-down list to select a different borehole name.
- Access the Borehole Manager program tab.
- Enter/import your data into the Borehole Manager, if you have not already done so. This tool specifically reads stratigraphy data.
- Back up your database using the File | Backup Database option. This offers a means of restoring the original data, should you not be pleased with the results of the consolidation.
- Select the Borehole Operations | Stratigraphy | Consolidate menu option.
- Enter the requested program settings, described above
- Click the Continue button to proceed.
RockWorks will search for instances of sequential listings of the same stratigraphy formation names in the selected boreholes, and will merge them into a single interval. The resulting data will be saved in the Stratigraphy table in the database.
