LogPlot 2005

LogPlot features

• Easy-to-use LogPlot Log Designer
  Great flexibility in borehole log designs- use a pre-configured design as-is (25+ shipped with the program) or create your own with the LogPlot Log Designer tool. The LogPlot Designer is easy to use, with point, click, and multiple-select capabilities. Create detailed headers, footers, and log bodies in their separate design areas. Toolbar buttons offer quick access to the 10 header/footer tools and 18 log body tools.

• Easy-to-use LogPlot Data Editor
  Tabbed spreadsheet windows make entering data a snap. Point-and-click selection of rock or soil types. Type, paste, or import data. The LogPlot Data Editor includes tools for automatic depth intervals, arithmetic operations, data smoothing and filtering, and import from LAS, Excel, RockWorks boreholes, ASCII, and DBF. Users have access to USGS and USCS lithology patterns and keywords, international users have access to foreign language keyword sets.
•  

• Easy borehole log compiling
  With your log design and data file open, just set your plotting scale in English or metric units, click OK, and see your borehole log displayed on the screen in the LogView window
• Share a borehole log with clients and co-workers
  The LogView portion of LogPlot is freely distributable as a stand-alone program. When installed on a client's or co-worker's computer, they can open, print, and export your saved LogPlot logs
• Single-page or continuous printing
  Print to any printer or plotter you have installed in Windows on single sheet or continuous paper
• Data export to RockWorks, LAS, and Excel format
  LogPlot data can be exported to RockWorks in .bh format or to worksheets in Excel. You can also export LogPlot curve data to standard LAS 2.0 format.
• Borehole log diagram export
  Export borehole log plots to HTML tables for continuous display in a web browser and easy distribution. Export continuous logs in Windows Metafile (wmf) or Enhanced Metafile (emf) formats. Export BMP, JPG, TIFF, or PNG images of individual log pages. Or, export to ReportWorks for page layout display.
• Batch compiling
  Build an on-screen list of data files to be compiled into graphic logs, which can be printed and/or saved
• Built-in tutorial
  The LogPlot tutorial takes you step-by-step through the processes of designing borehole logs, entering data, establishing program settings, and compiling logs
• USCS/USGS patterns and international keyword sets
  RockWare staff have meticulously designed pattern files and keyword sets that comply with the United Soil Classification System as well as sets that comply with USGS internal standards. Additionally, lithology keyword sets have been created for our German, Spanish, French and Italian speaking users.

LogPlot makes creating a well log a snap!

Step 1. Pick a well log design

• Choose a design from the LogPlot2005 library (22+ designs for environmental, geotechnical, petroleum, mining, geophysics, and general geologic borehole logs.)
• Modify the sample designs if you wish, or create a design of your own complete with customer headers and footers. Custom design services are available
• The Log Designer is built into LogPlot2005. It's easy to use, with point-click-drag, cut-copy-paste, and multiple-select capabilities

Step 2: Enter your data

• Fast and easy data entry using specialized data sheets for different data types
• Pick your lithology from a customizable list of keywords linked automatically to the lithology pattern and color of your choice
• Import data from other applications using the Window's clipboard, or directly from text tables, DBF database files, LAS files, Excel spreadsheets, or RockWorks BH files.
• Column math, sampling, and filtering tools assist quantitative data management

Step 3: Compile / display / distribute your well log

• Compile the data into the log design at any vertical scale in English or metric units
• Compare logs side by side
• The log "pages" you see on the screen are what you'll see when you print the well log
• Easily navigate through the log pages on the screen
• View depth or elevation for any point on the screen display
• Batch compiling is available
• Create hardcopy on any Windows compatible printer or plotter
• Post on your website or email to your clients or coworkers in HTML format
• Use the free distributable RockWare LogView program to distribute your well log
• Export logs in BMP, JPEG, WMF or EMF for use in your reports and presentations
• Import your well log into RockWorks for display in cross-sections

If you have trouble creating the well log that meets your exact specifications, LogPlot support is available to all licensed users.

LogPlot in industry

• Petroleum and geophysics
• Environmental and geotechnical
• Mining

 Petroleum, mudlogging and geophysics

LogPlot2005 is a flexible well logging software tool that is commonly used in petroleum, mud logging and geophysical industries. LogPlot2005 can be installed on a laptop so it can be used on-site for real-time logging. The user can create a large number of well plots with little experience in a short amount of time. Use curves to display GPR, gamma ray, resistivity, sonic, LAS and other point data. Use the well construction tool to display single or multiple wells. Create your own template, use one that is provided, or have RockWare custom design a template for you.

LogPlot2005 has several major improvements for our clients in the petroleum industry for displaying their well logs. LogPlot2005 gives you the tools needed to design your well logs to easily display reservoir attributes.

Environmental and geotechnical industry

LogPlot2005 is a commonly used boring log software tool in both the environmental and geotechnical industries. LogPlot2005 gives the user the capability to create a large number of high quality logs in a fraction of the time it would take to use a CAD product or other logging programs. Use fill bars to show sample intervals and types, or the presence of NAPLs or other contaminants! Show blow counts, contaminant concentrations, recovery, RQD, and other parameters as downhole histograms or text entities. Use USCS and lithology patterns included with the program or create your own in-house patterns and symbols. Include detailed notes in your Lithologic descriptions and in Header and Footer notes, with flexible text formatting. Include dashed, dotted, and colored contacts between your lithologic units. LogPlot2005 offers detailed well construction diagrams which can illustrate single or multiple borings. Log headers and footers can include text, images (logos, map locations), pattern and symbol legends, lines and rectangles. Display your logs at defined vertical scales, or fit them automatically to the page.

LogPlot in mining: industrial minerals, aggregates, sand and gravel, metals, coal, limestone

LogPlot2005's extraordinary flexibility has made it a popular drillhole logging software tool for numerous diverse mining companies. Whether you're drilling for industrial minerals, aggregates, sand and gravel, metals, coal, limestone or any other resource, LogPlot2005 is the drillhole log display tool you need.

Start with LogPlot2005's lithology column entity to display lithology, interpreted stratigraphy, mineral alteration, limestone grades, or other ore types. LogPlot2005 allows you to select from a library of over 200 lithology patterns, or design your own. Next, LogPlot2005's histogram column entity is useful for displaying any type of interval data, ranging from metal assays to BTU values, to measured impurity levels. Or, if your data is point based, rather than interval, use LogPlot2005's curve column entity. Other data types, such as symbols, insertable bitmaps or images, scale bars, line entities, dynamic text, wrapping lithology descriptions, fillbars and drillhole completion entities allow you to present virtually any type of data you measure downhole. LogPlot2005 allows you to order these entities in any format in the Log Designer.

Finally, complete your drillhole log with a customized header and/or footer that gives your log a finished look compatible with your company's image, and quickly re-usable for all logs created in your organization.
