Horizontal Panel View
View predicted log curves vs. Logging-While-Drilling (LWD) log
curves beneath the smartSTRAT® vertical section in a horizontal
panel. The predicted response is modeled by varying the dip angle
and/or fault offset of the 2D active surface. Determine the
geometry of the model by matching the predicted curve response to
the LWD curve. Ancillary curves like ROP, and resistivity can be
displayed along with the LWD curve in the horizontal panel
view.
Vertical Panel View
Display true vertical thickness (TVT) type logs (generated from
the drilling well or from any offset type log in TVD or TVT) in the
vertical panel. In the same panel, view the TVD of the LWD log for
the active correlation dip segment against the type log.
Stretch/squeeze and/or offset the TVD/LWD curve to determine the
dip angle and/or fault offset.
Depth-converted seismic backdrops, formations and faults when
SeisVision™ interpretations are present, generate dynamically
depth-converted seismic backdrops and formations and faults
on-the-fly and display in smartSTRAT® vertical section view. The
seismically controlled surfaces and backdrop allow the interpreter
to look ahead of the borehole to detect and avoid geohazards, or to
anticipate seismic scale faults. 
Export Segments to LAS
Export segments to LAS file from TD to the landing point or MD.
You can export the first encountered curves from TD to the landing
point or choose to export curves from TD to MD by specifying the
desirable value for MD.
Convert LWD along the horizontal wellbore to TVD and display it in
the vertical panel. The correlation of the segments of LWD with
type log represents the response of actual drilling of well along
the entire length of the wellbore. With these segments being the
lateral response of active surface along the drilling well, they in
essence serve as type log for horizontal correlation of other
nearby drilling wells.
This feature also allows you to export either the first
encountered curve values, to convert the depth values along the
horizontal wellbore omitting the repetitive values, or export all
curve values along the wellbore to create TVT sections using the
depth in MD.
Velocity Model Updates
Update surfaces and backdrops sourced from SeisVision™ with
inter-well points tying the 3D Framebuilder™ surfaces to a
smartSTRAT® model. This feature helps generate an accurate and
comprehensive SeisVision™ velocity model for use in depth
conversions.
Dynamic Mapping in Framebuilder™
Framebuilder, the 3D, topology mapping engine (smartSECTION®
add-on), offers real-time mapping of an updated geomodel with
Framebuilder™; the 3D geomodel surfaces are displayed in Map View.
In addition, data generated from the geomodel can be exported back
to GeoAtlas™ as IsoMap™ layers for mapping.
Such a feature gives a geoscientist instant access to map geometry
changes resulting from smartSTRAT® correlations.
Drilling Target Lines
Once a geomodel is updated, draw drilling target lines on the
smartSTRAT® vertical section to generate the required drilling
parameters, thus keeping the drill on target and in-zone.
Increases Productivity
Because smartSTRAT® is an integral extension of smartSECTION®, the
geosteering process facilitates quick updates to the project
database and 3D geomodel, saving time and ensuring accurate,
structural modeling.
Multiple Type Logs
Because accurate type logs are required for the horizontal
correlation process, smartSTRAT® incorporates multiple, type-log
curves to correlate LWD data, resulting in precisely-steered,
long-reach, horizontal wells and accurate, geomodel
interpretations.
Real-Time Geological and Geophysical
Interpretations
about a reservoir's structure and stratigraphy away from the
borehole. View dynamically depth-converted seismic data and
interpreted seismic horizons and faults as a backdrop, or as
surfaces within the Framebuilder™ geomodel (scaled to the extents
of the smartSTRAT® vertical section). To refine the geomodel
further, superimpose log curves, surface correlations, and borehole
data on the vertical section to provide key information about the
geology and structure of the reservoir.
Geomodeling While Drilling
To tie a smartSTRAT® interpretation to a Framebuilder™, geomodeled
surface, hang the type logs used for each dip segment along the
wellbore in Vertical Section view to facilitate inter-well,
correlation point picking.
To maintain an optimal borehole path, once the geomodel updates,
draw drilling target lines on the smartSTRAT® vertical section to
generate the required trajectory parameters. As the horizontal well
correlates in cross section view, the project's geomodel updates
dynamically for immediate viewing in Map View (with the purchase of
Framebuilder™) and in the, advanced 3D visualization view.
Pack-and-Go Portability
From the well site, geoscientists geosteer using smartSTRAT®, then
email the vertical section and smartSTRAT® model files to the home
office, where the new data can synchronize with the parent project
instantly to update the geomodel with the new interpretation
