Colorfill between two curves displayed spurious diagonal lines when the vertical
display distance between the two curves was very small in the 5000.0.3.0 release.
MapView crashed creating a Well Projection onto a line of section that was created in
PowerView or DecisionSpace Desktop software if one or more points in the section
were not snapped to a well.
The Filter Based On and Sort Based On lists in the Header / Trailer Editor Table Value
Parameters were missing the second item in the list.
Selection Box widgets became unstable if there were more than 32,767 items in the
list causing the application to crash when re-entering the Selection Box (for instance,
MapView Fault Mapping crashed the second time a fault was selected in a project
containing 50,000 fault names). Selection Box widgets now support up to 2 trillion
items in the list.
Correlation crashed if the specified depth range was entirely below the total depth of
a selected well when in User Measured Depth mode. If in User mode, it gave a
miniature display in the lower-left corner for this case.
Single Well Viewer did not honor the specified Minimum Depth in deviated wells when
the Display Range was set to USER and the Depth Type was TVDSS.

The limit was removed on the number of fault names that can be accessed in
StratWorks applications.
An easy way was provided to set active/inactive status of faults in projects with a large
number of faults.
Implemented save and restore of highlighted well lists and located well between
MapView sessions.
Client-reported defects were fixed and listed in the Fixed Problems section.

Introduction
StratWorks software is a fully integrated system for correlating well logs, building cross
sections, modeling surfaces and faults, and making maps. You can use it to perform
geological interpretation in a production or exploration environment using most commonly
available types of well data.
StratWorks software is an OpenWorks Linux application that enables the interpreter to
convert horizons, faults, and seismic data between the time and depth domains. This
document contains important information about the installation and use of this release. It
is intended for both system administrators and interpreters.
Anyone who will be working with StratWorks Software should read this entire document
before installing or using the software.

Installation Instructions
You must install OpenWorks 5000.0.3.x or higher version before installing and running
the StratWorks 5000.0.3.x family of products (StratWorks, StratUtil, PointSet Builder,
and Fault Mover). They are installed using the Landmark Release Manager. Please refer
to the OpenWorks Release 5000.0 Installation Procedures document.
StratWorks 5000.0.3.1 is a full installation. Previous versions of StratWorks software,
StratUtil, PointSetBuilder and FaultMover need to be deleted or the directories renamed
before installing this new version.
Note: PointSet Builder and Fault Mover were not updated for the 5000.0.3.1 release. If
you already installed the 5000.0.3.0 version, you do not need to reinstall these 2 products.
The installation should be performed as root. If not performed by root, the user must have
permissions to write to the OpenWorks directory and subdirectories as well as the
OW_SYS_DATA directory.
If you set the Install directory to a location besides the $OWHOME directory, please
check after the installation to be sure the following symbolic links were made during the
installation process. If they are missing, create them.
Under the $OWHOME directory
StratWorks -> /<install directory>/StratWorks
StratUtil -> /<install directory>/StratUtil
PointSetBuilder -> /<install directory>/PointSetBuilder (if you installed PointSetBuilder)
FaultMover -> /<install directory>/FaultMover
If you installed Fault Mover, there should be two links under $OWHOME/bin
fmover-> /<install directory>/FaultMover/bin/fmover
SegMenter-> /<install directory>/FaultMover/bin/SegMenter

Updated swlauncher.dat
The StratWorks Command Menu was updated in StratWorks
5000.0.3.0 to include the Single Well Multi-Section Correlation
application.Users will need to delete the swlauncher.dat in their $HOME
directories so the updated swlauncher.dat will be copied over when they
run StratWorks 5000.0.3.1.
If 5000.0.3.0 was installed and this action was already performed, it does
not need to be done after installing 5000.0.3.1.

STW_GENTOLER
SW_SM_UPDATE_LAST_
OPENED
Activates/deactivates the automatic save operation for independent application sessions you launch during a Session Manager
session. (Independent application sessions are sessions you
have saved and reopened in one of the managed applications, not
the application instances you save and reopen by using Session
Manager itself. The applications currently managed in Session
Manager are: Preferences, Correlation, Cross Section, MapView,
Wellbore Manager, Header/Trailer Editor, and Single Well
Viewer.)
If you launch an independent session during a Session Manager
session, by default Session Manager does not attempt to save it.
If you set the SW_SM_UPDATE_LAST_OPENED variable,
launch an independent session, and exit from Session Manager,
the independent session is saved automatically. (No dialog box
appears.) The save operation succeeds only if the session is
owned by the current interpreter.

5000.0.3.0 Enhancements
Single Well Multi-Section Correlation
Single Well Multi-Section Correlation allows you to correlate data between sections of the
same well. This functionality is useful for interpreting data in horizontal wells or highly
deviated wells where there is a decrease in true vertical depth with increasing measured
depth (recumbent wells). You can display up to 5 sections side-by-side and perform the
following tasks:
5000.0.3.1
Page 17 of 52
September 2011
The color of the surface or fault can now be specified when creating picks for a new
surface or new fault using the Add Surface Pick or Create New Fault dialog boxes in
the Correlation and Single Well Multi-Section Correlation. In previous releases, the
Strat Column Editor was used to specify the color after the surface was correlated.
The color for existing surfaces and faults can now be specified within the Correlation
and Single Well Multi-Section Correlation applications by using the new Edit Surface /
Fault Color dialog box. In previous releases, the Strat Column Editor was the only
place to change surface / fault colors within the StratWorks software.
With the ability to combine projects in R5000, it is not uncommon for projects to contain
over 20,000 fault names which was the limit in previous R5000 versions of
StratWorks software. This limit has been removed. There is no limit on the number
of fault names that can be used in StratWorks applications.
The Strat Column Editor was enhanced to include a new dialog box to easily change
the active / inactive status of multiple faults. It allows you to easily search and filter on
fault names, move multiple faults from Active to Inactive or vice versa, or read
SeisWorks Fault Lists to set the Active / Inactive faults.

MapView now stores the well lists and associated colors selected in the
Wells>Highlight Well Lists dialog box in the MapView parameter file
(MAPVIEW.xxx). So when you exit MapView, the current Highlight WellLlists
information is saved, then restored when you re-enter MapView either via the
StratWorks Command Menu or through StratWorks Session Manager. This
information is also restored when opening a session file using File>Open Session.
MapView now stores the well and associated parameters selected in the
Wells>Locate Well dialog box in the MapView parameter file (MAPVIEW.xxx). So
when you exit MapView, the current Locate Well information is saved, then restored
when you re-enter MapView either via the StratWorks Command Menu or through
StratWorks Session Manager. This information is also restored when opening a
session file using File>Open Session.
5000.0.2.0 Enhancements
Zoom Windows Display Well Header and Cursor Tracking
Correlation and Single Well Viewer Zoom Windows have been enhanced to allow the
user to see the well template header and cursor tracking of depth and curve values at
all times. This was accomplished by adding additional views to the zoom window.
Header View area displays the well template header.
Well View area displays the downhole well data within the zoom box outline in the
main Correlation or Single Well Viewer window.
Tracking View displays the depth and the value of the well logs in the track at the
current cursor location.

Tracking View
If you want to display only the Well View (simulating the display in previous versions of
StratWorks software) you may adjust the sash buttons to shrink these views.
The data in the Well View area can easily be scrolled vertically by clicking and dragging
MB1 (panning) in the Single Well Viewer Zoom Window or by clicking MB1 on a point in
a Correlation Zoom Window to move that point to the center.
Correlation Zoom Box Outline and Zoom Window Position
Correlation now stores the screen location of zoom windows between Correlation
sessions as well as the height and width.
The position of the zoom box outline in the main Correlation window is now maintained
during many functions (such as well redraw) that used to return the position to the
center of the main display. They are also maintained between Correlation sessions.
Core Track:
Two new options allow the user to specify which interpreters core data to post. In
previous releases, all core data matching the selected Core Type was posted no
5000.0.3.1
Page 20 of 52
September 2011
matter what data source was associated with the core data. Now the user has the
option to limit the data posted by selecting from 1 to 10 data sources whose data
will be pulled for the display or to honor the current Interpreter / Source Priority
setting.
Two additional Core Sample Description data fields can be posted: Fluorescence
Description and Original Data Source.
Core analysis/description data no longer overposts after shift.
Paleo Track:
In previous releases, either all species types or one user selected species type
could be posted. Now the user can select multiple species types to be posted.
Core, DST&RFT, Engineering, Paleo, Production, Show, Strat Unit Attribute, Well
Interval, and Well Test Tracks:
These tracks have been updated to handle remarks over 100 characters. The
length of the remarks field in the datamodel for many types of data displayed in
these tracks has been increased. StratWorks well template tracks were not
updated and demonstrated unpredictable behavior when remarks were longer
than 100 characters. The tracks have now been updated to correctly display
remarks up to the length specified by the datamodel (200 characters in most
cases; some are longer).
Note: This change does not affect template backwards compatibility.
5000.0.3.1
Page 21 of 52
September 2011
Query Functionality
The Query functionality in Correlation, Cross Section, Single Well Viewer and
Wellbore Manager has been updated to correctly display remarks over 100 characters
and to wrap remarks at 80 characters.
In Single Well Viewers Delete Template, the user now has the option to toggle
between listing all templates (previous functionality) or only the templates deletable by
that user.
Wellbore Manager now allows the user to filter perforation data based on current
status when creating a perforation curve. In previous releases, all perforation data was
used including perforations with a current status of closed, cemented, etc.
5000.0.1.0 Enhancements
Cross Section Can Display Up to 200 Grids
The number of surface grids that can be displayed in Cross Section has been
increased from 100 to 200.
Interpret -> Calculate Dips was added in the 5000.0.0.0 release. For the 5000.0.1.0
release, this functionality has been enhanced as follows:
The calculated dips and azimuths are displayed in a table allowing the user to
review the results, accept or reject them all, or edit values at individual picks and
delete individual values before accepting the calculated dip / azimuth values.
The user has more control over which dip and azimuth values will be calculated,
such as only calculate dips for picks belonging to the current interpreter vs. picks
from source priority.
To make it easier to display the same wells in Cross Section as currently displayed in
Correlation, Correlation has a new option to create a Line of Section (LOS) from the
currently displayed wells. This LOS can then be used in Cross Section or MapView.
To create a line of section, select Miscellaneous -> Create Line of Section. You are
5000.0.3.1
Page 22 of 52
September 2011
prompted for the Anchor Mode, Color of the line of section, and LOS Name for the
output LOS. The output LOS (and automatically generate Projected Well List) will
contain the wells in the current display in the order they appear in the display.
Strat Column Track Enhancements
Hardcopy Enhancement
For users with Interpreter or Limited Interpreter database privileges, Delete Line of
Section will now automatically delete all dependent data (well projections and surface
/ fault segments) created by the current interpreter. In previous releases, surface and
fault segments had to be deleted in Cross Section before deleting the LOS in
MapView.
Continuously reports the value of the displayed well logs at the depth of the cursor.
The values are reported on the bottom line of the status area.
Toggle this option on or off using View -> Log Value Tracking. Once enabled, place
the cursor on a displayed well inside a log curve track at the depth of interest. The
values for up to 5 curves per track are displayed. These are the first 5 curves selected
when creating the template track.
Once a user has zoomed in on the graphic display, the display will stay zoomed during
many actions (such as redisplaying the well(s) or displaying a different template) that
in previous releases would unzoom the display.
5000.0.0 Enhancements
OpenWorks Project Optimization
5000.0.3.1

seismic project data into the OpenWorks project framework. Integration is built into
the Data Model, not the application. Highlights include enhancements to the
OpenWorks Data Model to enable the storage and management of seismic and
associated data, major enhancements to the Interpretation ID Model, the addition of
Meta-Data and Processing History Model, redesigned Data Managers, and
OpenWorks and Engineer's Data Model (EDM) rationalization.
StratWorks functionality changed by the OpenWorks Project Optimization
regarding seismic- related changes:
Cross Section Seismic Backdrop and Seismic Trace Converter The code
was modified to incorporate the changes for the seismic data model. From the
user perspective, the major changes are:
Prompts for selecting the trace data have changed because trace data is now
retrieved from the OpenWorks project instead of a SeisWorks project. (Much of
SeisWorks data is now accessible via the OpenWorks project.)
Prompts concerning datums have been removed because seismic data is now
automatically datumed to sea level for depth data and to the OpenWorks Project
Datum for time data.
Note: The Project Datum and Reference Velocity must be properly set for the
OpenWorks project in order for the automatically datuming to occur. Use
Project Administration > Project Modify to check or modify these values.
MapView Structure Mapping The code was modified to incorporate the
changes for the seismic data model. From the user perspective, the major
changes are
Prompts for selecting seismic horizons have changed because in R5000 horizons
are stored in the database instead of a SeisWorks project.
You can select multiple surveys to read the seismic horizon over instead of just
one survey.
Prompts for selecting SeisWorks fault segments have changed to use the 3 keys
used to identify SeisWorks fault planes: Fault Name, Interpretation Version, and
Data Source
Prompts for SeisWorks datums have been removed because seismic data is now
automatically datumed to sea level for depth data and to the OpenWorks Project
Datum for time data.
5000.0.3.1
Page 24 of 52
September 2011
MapView File > Setup Set AOI has an additional option: Set AOI to current
project. This allows the user easily to set the AOI to the same AOI used by
SeisWorks.
StratWorks functionality changed by the OpenWorks Project Optimization
regarding Engineers Data Model rationalization related changes:
Well Volume Production Changes in Mapping & Well Template Track. The
R5000 data model no longer supports the Production Volume Record table. Its
data is migrated during the project upgrade process to 5 tables: Monthly and Daily
Production, Monthly and Daily Injection and Cumulative tables. Isochore Mapping
Well Production and the Well Template Production track have been modified to
accommodate these changes.
Well Templates from previous versions of StratWorks software that contain a
Production Track will be automatically upgraded when selected in a StratWorks
application. The upgrade is only for the current display. The upgraded template is
not saved until the user enters Single Well Viewer Edit Mode, selects the Well
Template, and saves the upgraded template. The upgrade looks at the previous
production track display parameters and tries to map them as closely as possible
to the five R5000 production tables and the fields in these tables.
Well Headers from previous versions of StratWorks software that referenced the
pre-R5000 production table (WELL_PDEN_VOL_RECORD) will be automatically
upgraded. The upgrade is only for the current display. The upgraded template is
not saved until the user enters Header/Trailer Editor, selects the Header, and
saves the upgraded Header. Well Headers do not have as much information as
Well Templates, so the upgrade cannot map to the five different tables. The
upgrade displays the production data in the R5000 cumulative table
(PDM_PROD_CUMS).
Dip Calculation for Picks and Projected Slopes (Dip) Gridding
Correlation has been enhanced to calculate dip and azimuth for one or more picks
from dipmeter data. This option is available for a single pick in a well using the Edit
Pick option, or for selected picks over selected wells using Interpretation > Calculate
Dips.
MapView Structure Mapping has been enhanced to include the Project Slopes
gridding algorithm. In the pointset, it includes slope data (dip and azimuth) from the
pick or average dip and azimuth from dipmeter data if desired. (If a picks dip and
azimuth are null, it computes the local slope of the surface at that pick.) Planar
surfaces having these slopes are projected from each data point into void areas. A grid
nodes initial value is the average of the distance-weighted Z-values of these planes
at that node. This gridding method tends to broaden highs and lows.

Page 25 of 52
September 2011
2003.12.1.0 Enhancements
Enhancements to StratWorks Software Release 2003.12.1.0 are included in the
5000.0.0 release. Since StratWorks Software Release 2003.12.1.0 was released after
the 5000.0.0 release, the enhancements are listed here.
Recumbent Well Support in Correlation and Single Well Viewer
You can avoid overposting of data in recumbent areas of well in all depth types (MD,
TVD, TVDSS, TST, and TVT) by using new display options; Between 2 Picks MD,
Explicit Bwtn 2 picks MD, and User Measured Depth.
Option to post TST and TVT depth tracks in any depth mode of display
Correlation: Ability to create / edit picks in recumbent areas in all depth modes -previously only possible in MD depth mode.
Correlation: Pick list displays the picks MD depth (as before) and also depth value in
the current depth mode of display.

depth range.
this as the depth range.
2. Reads all data in the well (picks, log curves,
etc.) with a TVD value that falls within that range.
In this case, it reads data from all 3 legs of the
well because all 3 legs have some part that falls
within the TVD range determined in step 1.
3. Displays the data at the TVD values read from
the database.
5000.0.3.1
Page 28 of 52
September 2011
Ability to reverse the direction of distance scale along LOS labels (i.e. increasing left
to right or right to left) on the cross section display.
Ability to post (add to well projection list) the same well twice on a LOS so users can
create / display a loop and see and interpret to the same end points.
For users with Manager database privileges, Delete Line of Section will delete all
associated data (well projections, surface profiles, and fault profiles). In previous
releases, users had to delete interpreted data and Well projections before deleting the
LOS.

Session Manager
The user is now prompted to remove lock files as Session Manager initializes. The user
no longer runs a separate script to remove lock files.
Well Projections in Cross Section and MapView
The well projection code used by Cross Section and MapView has improved logic when
deviated wells are projected across two or more segments. These changes resolve many
undesired display in specific cases dependent upon LOS alignment vs. deviated well
alignment. For example:
In pre-2003.12.1.0 releases, a deviated well could project along a segment of the
LOS, then jump (non-contiguous X,Ys) to a different segment because that part
of the well was closer to that other segment. The program now checks which
segment the majority of the position log points fall on; determines direction; then
displays all the points in that direction across adjacent segments.

Known Problems
This section describes known problems and possible workarounds for the StratWorks
software 5000.0.0 release. Some long-standing known issues are covered in the
documentation and are not listed here.
This section also describes some options that function properly, but may cause problems
if you are unfamiliar with their intended use.
If you do experience problems with the StratWorks application suite, the best practice is
to check the related topics in the online documentation, available by clicking the Help
menu and selecting an option from the drop-down list. In particular check the online
Release Notes. This approach often gives you the fastest solution and helps you increase
your mastery of the product.
Application Manager
Preventing Child Windows from Appearing Behind a Primary Window
Within various applications, child windows may sometimes become hidden behind the
main application window.
Workaround: In the Style Manager window, click the Window icon and toggle off the
Allow Primary Windows On Top option.

Correlation
Pick Line Display Problem
Moving multiple pick occurrences at a common depth causes pick line display issues. The
pick line that is selected to move does not appear. The pick lines for all other picks appear
as expected. This problem occurs only if you move multiple picks from the same depth.
You retain depth control of the pick placement and the pick line reappears after you move
the picks. (166892)
Limitations
Correlation Assistant only works in Add Surface Pick and Delete Surface Pick mode.
It is not designed to be active in any other mode. For example, if you drag a pick,
Correlation Assistant is not activated.
Correlation Assistant is designed to be active only if all the surfaces in the associated
stratigraphic column are active. If the stratigraphic column contains any inactive surfaces,
Correlation Assistant will not operate properly.
Dips
Using dip angles in the ranges of 89.99 to 89.999 degrees and 90.001 to 90.01 degrees
when working with TVT or TST can consume large amounts of memory and bog down the
system.

Linux
Lithology Code Names Not Displayed in Color Control Dialog
On a Linux system, if you define lithology codes in the Lithology Curve Generator utility,
the code names do not appear in the Color Control dialog box. (137250)
Workaround: Estimate the code positions based on the code position numbers and on the
configuration option you chose (either With Equal Spacing of User Codes Across Scale
or With Proportional Spacing of User Codes Across Scale).
Lithology
Problems with Zooming After Filtering Stringers
If you filter out stringers (for instance, if you filter out the stringers that are more than 10
feet thick), they are removed from the Lithology display but reappear if the filtered area is
magnified by using a zoom function. Zooming negates the previous stringer filter. (305572
and 34490)
Workaround: Save Lithology before zooming.

MapView
Surface Colors Not Relayed from Surface Fault Data Manager
If you change colors in OpenWorks Surface Fault Data Manager for surfaces that are
already displayed in MapView, the colors are not updated when you click the Redraw
From Database icon. (171171).
Workaround: Exit and restart MapView.
Creating Lines of Section in Pick Mode When Multiple Instances of a Pick Exist
The first time you create a Line of Section by snapping to a pick when multiple instances
of the pick exist in a well, you are asked to select which instance to use for each well. At
the end of LOS creation a default Well Projection is created. You are then asked to
prioritize the picks for the well projection creation. Once the prioritized list is set, LOS
creation uses this list instead of asking which instance to use in each well. Therefore, if
you repeat the creation process using the same pick, you are not asked which pick
instance to use.
Workaround: To restore the option to specify which pick instance to use for each well,
perform one of these actions:
Session Manager
Saving Session During Exit Prevents Deletion of Temporary Files
StratWorks software now allows you to save the Session Manager session when you
exit from the OpenWorks or StratWorks Command Menu. In this situation, the Session
Manager saves an active named session or prompts you to save the current Untitled
session. If you choose to save the session, the console window that enables you to delete
temporary files from the $HOME/run directory does not appear.

Workaround: Do not use the PUBLIC or Shared interpreter designation when you use
Session Manager. If your team uses Session Manager, make sure each user has a unique
interpreter designation.

Wellbore Manager
Cursor Position Accuracy
If you move the cursor into the Wellbore Manager window display area, the status line at
the bottom of the window reports the approximate location of the cursor, not the exact
location.
If you use cursor tracking between Cross Section and Wellbore Manager, the reported
cursor position is relative to the vertical plane of the LOS in Cross Section. If you set up
the Cross Section scaling parameters so that the wellbore appears in Deviated Normal
mode, the cursor slows down or stops in Wellbore Manager whenever it moves
horizontally in the Cross Section window.
Workaround: Use one of the better tools that are available for determining the exact
location of objects in the display area. For example, to determine the exact depth of a
casing, select Tools > Query, then click the casing. The Query window appears and
reports the exact location of the casing. You can also find this information by selecting
Tools > Interactive Equipment Editor, then clicking the casing.
Cursor tracking is more accurate in the Wellbore Manager window if the cursor is on the
right side of the well template.

wellbore to the right of other template tracks, no matter how tracks are arranged in the
template. (145545)
Workaround: If the tracks for deviated wells is unreadable or appears distorted, change
the scale so the image is larger. Once the allotted space is large enough to hold the well
data, the problem disappears.
Well Templates
Using Two-Way Time in the Well Depth Track
In the Well Template Editor, perform the following steps if you plan to use TWT (two-way
time) as the depth type in a well template depth track, as preparation for using TWT as
the depth type in Single Well Viewer. The existing documentation that describes this
process is incomplete and contains misleading statements. (147352)
T-D Curve Definition Make sure the target well has a T-D table (time-depth table)
that defines the time-depth curve you want to use. To view the data for the time-depth
curve definitions stored for a well, display the Well Data Manager window in
OpenWorks software in Time Depth Data mode. (To do this, first display the Well
Data Manager window, select the target well, then select the Time Depth Data radio
button.) If no data appears in the Well Data Manager window at this point, no timedepth curve data has been saved for the selected well.
To define a new time-depth curve under the current interpreters designation, display
the Well Data Manager window in Time Depth Data mode, select the target well,
position the cursor somewhere in one of the two right window panes, click MB3, and
select New from the context-sensitive menu that appears. (See the OpenWorks Data
Management manual.)
