Workflow 1: Setting up a Project
|
Before work can commence in ODM3, a Project must be set up that references a selection of wells from the database. Often, however, a database isn't populated at all so a new Project must be set up in order to import new well data into the database for the first time. Then, the project may be refined to look at certain wells in the database. This workflow outlines key stages of generating a new Project.
This work can be carried out quickly and accurately using the various tools available to aid and validate the interpretation.

Workflow 2: Creating a project map
|
Once a project has been created the next step is to set up a project map. The project map is designed to be the main work area from which many tools and operations can be carried out; interrogate the database, display composite logs, create cross-sections and deviated well projections, build structural, component or thickness grids, etc...

Workflow 3: Creating & Displaying Well Queries
|
Once a project map has been created, well queries can be built and posted on the project map to highlight wells with certain parameters or contents. This is especially useful for large datasets and, once created, the query can be used to ‘filter’ wells in various parts of ODM3...

Workflow 4: Displaying & Interpreting Deviated Wells
|
ODM3’s unique way of displaying deviated wells in their correct subsurface orientation whilst allowing the interpreter to update the display with on-the-fly interpretations is a quick and useful tool.
Well paths are projected onto a user-defined vertical plane and data can be posted in 2D along both sides of the well path. Interpretations can be made on a vertical well stick and then the projection can be refreshed to instantly reflect these interpretations.

Workflow 5: Loading and Examining Bathymetry Curves
|
Bathyal environments can be created and interpreted in ODM3 by utilising a number of features, including the useful ‘Curves to intervals’ utility and Bubble Map plotting. This workflow outlines how to create a set of intervals representing bathyal environments from sea level data imported into ODM as a log curve, and how to display these environments on a map (as a Grid or Bubble Map).

Workflow 6: Making the most of the Data Report
|
ODM3 has some slick data reporting functionality designed to make data interrogation and report generation quick and easy. Although several report types are available, the multiple well Data Report is perhaps the most useful. This workflow aims to outlines the uses of the Data Report, including: setup, the search & replace function and the ability to copy & paste details into other Windows applications.

Workflow 7: Basic Gridding Techniques
|
The ODM Gridding tools can be used to produce contoured surfaces for displaying the spatial variation of many different types of well data. This workflow acts as a basic introduction to the use of Grids in ODM3, covering: types of grids and where to display and use Grids, how to create a new Grid in a Project Map, and how to define Grid Properties.
This work can be carried out quickly and accurately using the various tools available to aid and validate the interpretation.

Workflow 8: Advanced Gridding Techniques
|
This workflow outlines more advanced Gridding techniques in ODM3. It covers: adding existing Grids to a Project Map, displaying Grids in the 3D-Viewer, displays Grids on Deviated Well Path Projections, and use of the Surface Intersection Report

|
Workflow 9: Setting Up Co-ordinate Systems
|
When dealing with geo-referenced data (such as GIS information), it is necessary to support the many different projections and datums in use for different parts of the world. ODM3 is capable of producing correctly geo-referenced maps that can incorporate GIS data built from many of these differing coordinate systems.
