Exporting Stratigraphy Data as XYZ

RockWorks | Borehole Manager | File |
Export | Stratigraphy | Stratigraphy Data -> TXT

Use this program to export stratigraphy depth, elevation, or thickness data for all enabled boreholes to a Text XYZ file. The resulting file will contain the X and Y location coordinates for the formation contact in each borehole (taking into account any boring deviation or inclination), and the selected depth, upper elevation, lower elevation, or thickness. (Thickness is drilled thickness, as recorded in the Stratigraphy tab, not grid-based thickness.) The output listing is displayed in the RockWorks text editor.

Step-by-Step Summary

Menu Options

• Stratigraphic Unit: Click here to select the name of the formation, listed in the current Stratigraphy Types Table, to be exported.
• Data type: Expand this item to select the desired Z value in the exported file (observed depth, computed upper elevation, lower elevation, or observed thickness).
• Decimals: Click on this item to enter the number of decimal places to store in the output depth, elevation, or thickness values.

Step-by-Step Summary

1. Access the RockWorks Borehole Manager program tab.
2. Be sure there is stratigraphy data listed for one or more boreholes.
3. Be sure the boreholes whose data is to be exported are enabled (shown with check-marks in the Borehole Manager list).
4. Select the File | Export | Stratigraphy | Stratigraphy Data -> TXT menu item.
5. Enter the requested menu options, described above. 
6. Click the Process button to continue.

The program will read the well locations, downhole orientation, and stratigraphy intervals, and export the requested data fields. The data will be displayed in the RockWorks editor window.
