RockWorks2002- stratigraphic surfaces, thickness
(isopach) maps, fence diagrams, stratigraphy block models and
profiles.
Stratigraphic profiles, fence
diagrams and block models
2D profiles
- The 2D stratigraphic profile generator first creates a solid
model of your stratigraphy, and then allows you to pick any
transect through the model, resulting in a projected profile view

Fence diagrams
- Fence diagrams are created in the same manner as profiles.
First a 3D stratigraphic model is created from your borehole
stratigraphy data. You then have the freedom to choose any plane
or series of planes through the model.

Stratigraphic block models
- Once you've created a 3D strat model in RockWorks2002, there
are many ways to manipulate your model in the 3D viewer:
individually turn layers on and off, use layer transparencies for
better viewing, append other 3D components such as drillholes and
geochemistry models. RockWorks also displays volume and mass
information for each of your layers.

Formation top maps and isopach
models
Elevation maps of formation tops
- Make a 2D (below left) or 3D (below right) elevation map for
the top of any of your stratigraphic units
- Create multiple, stacked elevation maps in 3D (right)
|
 Click to enlarge; three stacked
elevation maps, each representing a separate formation top. The
color contours show the elevational contrast. The top layer is flat,
and hence a single color. |

2D thickness models
- Create a thickness (isopach) map in 2D for any of your
stratigraphic units
- Custom contour line, colorfill and labeling and legend options

3D thickness models
- You can also make 3D models of your 3D stratigraphic layers
- Volume and mass information is provided for your layer in the
3D viewer

Formation top picker and
volumetrics
Pick your formation tops
- If you have uncorrelated lithology data, you can pick your
correlations within RockWorks2002 using a graphical interface
(right)
- Simply click on a formation top for a given borehole, and
RockWorks immediately adds the depth information to the
stratigraphy table in the borehole data manager!

Detailed volumetrics
- You can easily export detailed mass and volume data for each
of your stratigraphic units to the geological utilities
spreadsheet where many other tools can be used to analyze and
visualize your data
