StratWorks Tutorial
StratWorks is an interpretation package developed by Landmark for use in
correlating logs, building cross-sections and creating [Link] exercise
will focus specifically on building a cross section and printing out a
basemap of the wells used, showing the line of section. Keep in mind that
there are many other uses for StratWorks and I will only touch on the most
important points, it would be to your advantage to look at the course
manuals by my desk in 543 Deike for specific details and more information.
[Link] into Landmark
[Link] project to the one you would like to work in
[Link] moving on into StratWorks its a good idea to make a list of
the specific wells that you are going to want to work with in creating your
cross-section.
[Link] the main Landmark menu: Data -> Management -> Well List Manager
[Link] a well list for the wells of interest (see the manual for
specifics).
[Link] to Applications -> StratWorks [Link] StratWorks, you must first

your strat column by clicking on Save Column in the Column Management box.
[Link] can also create faults in the Strat Column Editor by selecting
Column -> Faults, click on Create and change the parameters to your
specifications. You are making a catalog of faults to be used later as you
interpret, make sure you label the faults so that you can recognize them
later.
[Link] next step in StratWorks is to create a Basemap. Make sure you save
your column before you log out of the Strat Column Editor.
[Link] the StratWorks command Menu, select Interpret -> Map View
[Link] File ->Setup
[Link] here you can change your x/y values to zoom in on your Area of
Interest (AOI), and you can select the picks that you set up in the Strat
Column [Link] sure your depth units are correct and the Active
Surface List is set to From Strat Column
[Link], annotate the basemap using the Wells ->Surface Posting Parameters
and Bottom Posting Parameters, in these parameter boxes you can change the
actual postings, colors, sizes, symbols and you can also add and delete
postings.
[Link] post your block lines and numbers select File -> Import ZGF picture
[Link] View ->Grid, Ticks, Lines and Labels you are able to add border

[Link] on the basemap in the order that you want your cross section
created, then label it and click on OK to save the line of section (LOS).
[Link] select CrossSections -> Display Well Projections, click on the LOS
that you have created, your selected wells will now show up as the same
color as your LOS.
[Link] displaying your Cross Section you will need to create a Well
Template (this is not mandatory, but it will make it easier to display your
cross section).
[Link] Well Template Editor by selecting Utilities -> Well Template
Editor from the StratWorks main menu.
