Tutorial: More on Multi-Log Sections, Profiles, and Projected Sections

The Borehole Manager’s Striplogs menu contains three very different types of cross sections: Profiles, Sections, and Projected Sections.

Striplog Profiles display strip logs as they would appear when projected perpendicularly onto a single section "cut." The logs in projected Profile diagrams can be displayed showing borehole inclination or deviation, if any. The user can apply a distance filter to omit from the display those borings that are distant from the section line.

Striplog Sections display strip logs in the order in which they were picked. Because the section cuts can have different orientations, downhole inclination or deviation cannot be represented (wells will be plotted vertically).

Projected section diagrams represent multiple, connected slices through your project. If you are displaying logs only (StripLogs menu) or if you are including logs with your modeled Projected Section diagram, the logs are projected onto the multiple slice planes for those boreholes within a specified "swath" distance.
