Borehole Manager Lithology Menu - Summary

Borehole Manager | Lithology Menu

RockWorks offers a selection of tools for the interpolation of observed lithology data into a solid model, for display as a 3D voxel diagram or sliced for display as a cross section, profile, fence diagram, or map.  A variety of other lithology tools are available.

Striplogs for displaying observed data only.

Model-Based Diagrams  -  Model-Based Computations  -  Lithology Data Tools

Model-Based Diagrams: Interpolate a solid model from the borehole lithology intervals, or read an existing lithology model, for display as:

• Model - A 3D voxel model

• Profile - A 2D profile sliced between two points

• Section - A multi-panel 2D cross section "sliced" between multiple points

• Fence - A 3D fence diagram "sliced" between multiple points

• Surface Map - A 2D geology map "sliced" along a specified surface model

• Plan Map - A 2D geology map "sliced" along a horizontal plane

• Superface - A 2D or 3D map representing the uppermost occurrences of a specific lithology material (lithology structure map)

• Subface - A 2D or 3D map representing the lowermost occurrences of a specific lithology material (lithology structure map)

• Isopach (2D) - A 2D map representing the thickness of a specific lithology material (lithology isopach map)

• Isopach (3D) - A 3D map representing the thickness of a specific lithology material (lithology isopach map)

Model-Based Computations

• Volumetrics - Compute volumes of the different material types

Lithology Data Tools

• Consolidate - Consolidate repeating lithology intervals in the database

• Pick Intervals - Pick lithology intervals from log data (geophysical curves, raster logs)

Interpolate a solid model from the borehole lithology intervals, or read an existing lithology model, for display as:
a 3D voxel model
a 2D profile "sliced" between two points in the study area

a 3D fence diagram "sliced" between multiple points in the study area
a 2D geology map "sliced" along a horizontal plane
a 2D geology map "sliced" along a specified surface model
a 2D map or 3D map representing the uppermost or lowermost occurrences of a specific lithology material (lithology structure map)
