Help with data types and nodes
These data types hold geology data, both from wells and from field sites.
Choose the correct data type category to use depending on the kind of data you want to enter or work with:
| For this kind of data | Choose this data type |
|---|---|
| Well lithology | Well lithology |
| Well stratigraphy | Well stratigraphy |
| Well alteration | Well alteration |
| Well interpretation | Well interpretation |
| Alteration - point data | Alteration - point data |
| Secondary minerals | Secondary minerals |
| Mud logging | Mud logging |
| Cores and cuttings | Core Register - by Well |
| or | Core Register - by Section |
| Surface geology | Surface geology |
| Faults and fractures | Faults and fractures |
| Rock properties | Rock properties |
| Rock chemistry | Rock chemistry |
Quick and Multiple Graphs of well lithology, formation and alteration show as column graphs read more.
Well lithology is derived from cores and/or cuttings, and is entered using the ROCKTYPE Stratigraphy Type. First enter the rock types for the lookup.
Stratigraphic formations are entered using the FORMATION Stratigraphy Type. First enter the formations for the lookup.
Generalised alteration zones can be entered using the ALTERATION Stratigraphy Type. First enter the alteration types for the lookup.
Interpreted geological well data can be entered using the INTERPRETED Stratigraphy Type. First enter the interpretation types for the lookup; they are stored in the same table at the formation lookup.
Secondary mineral types and abundances can be entered using the MINERALS Stratigraphy Type. First enter the Secondary minerals for the lookup.
The core register is a list of the cores or cuttings from a well:
the depths they are from
any analyses that have been done, and file names of the analyses (but not the results of the analyses)
if the sample is off-site, details of who has it
if the sample is on-site, where it is in the shed
Enter or work with core register data at this node read more.
This displays the same data as Core Register - by Well above, but has all the data in the header window to allow you to select cores by their data read more. You can only work with core data at this node; enter data at the Core Register - by Well node.
Rock properties from both wells and surface rocks can be stored at the Rock Properties node. Before entering data from a surface rock sample, the sample site must be first defined. All wells are automatically considered to be sample sites. All rocks can be assigned both a rock type and a formation from two lookups.
Rock chemistry from both wells and surface rocks can be stored at the Rock Chemistry node. Before entering data from a surface rock sample, the sample site must be first defined. All wells are automatically considered to be sample sites. The data can be assined a rock type and also a sample area from two lookups.
