Managing Curves with Curve Utility

Overview
OpenWorks provides a number of utilities for viewing and managing
curves. However, with PetroWorks Curve Utility, you can now
accomplish most curve management functions within PetroWorks.
Curve Utility enables you to:

view a list of all curves within one or more selected wells


(page 164)

filter (show) or select (highlight) curves on the basis of 21 data


fields (page 177)

delete all data associated with one or more selected curves,


including multi-valued log curves (page 188)
(In particular, you may want to delete duplicate curves or curve
fragments left over from the creation of composite curves.)

R2003.12.1

sort curves on up to four keys selected from 29 data fields


(page 174)

copy or rename a selected curve (page 191)

quickly copy curve details text to any other application (page 166)

customize the display (page 174) and save your preferences


(page 201)

generate a curve history about selected curves and display it in the


Report Viewer (page 198)

move wells in and individual curves out via Pointing Dispatcher

Curve Display Area


The Curve Display Area of the main window contains the following
data fields (columns):
Curve Utility Data Fields
Column Title
[data form and field in
OpenWorks Well Data
Manager]

Description/Remarks

Well (Name)
[Log Curve: Wellid]

The curve name as specified using the current OpenWorks well format; can be set
using OpenWorks Project Status tool.

Curve Name
[Log Curve: Log Crv
Name]

Partial key (1 of 5) for log curves. The name, or mnemonic, of a log curve. In the
OpenWorks model, used as a partial key to uniquely identify log curves.

Logging Service
[Log Curve: Log Name]

Partial key (2 of 5) for log curves. The logging service or the pseudo-service that
created the curve.
logging service
The source of a log curve. Within the acquisition context, the service is identified by
a trade name for the logging service. Also, the identifier or handle that names a
toolstring associated with this service. The name may be an aggregate of a
toolstrings tool mnemonics. In the OpenWorks model, used as a partial key to
uniquely identify log curves.
pseudo-service
Within the context of composite runs for log curves, identifies the source of a curve
that is not associated with a specific acquisition toolstring. Interpretive applications
in PetroWorks produce curves with a (pseudo-)service PETROWORKS.
See the Introduction to PetroWorks Family of Products manual (page 145) for list of
logging services and pseudo-services.

Run
[Log Curve: Log Run No]

Partial key (3 of 5) for log curves. In the OpenWorks model, a serial counter for
toolstring descents used as a a key to uniquely identify log curves.
Composite run: A run that is not associated with a specific toolstring descent.
Composite-run curves (or composite log curves) attempt to maximize coverage of the
log data over a well bore.
Composite curves may be created in LogEdit within PetroWorks by manually
splicing separate runs together. Composite curves can also be created automatically
via a process known as auto-compositing, where separate numbered runs are
assembled to produce a composite.
Interpretive applications generally use composite-run curves as input and produce
outputs with a composite run under the pseudo-service PETROWORKS.
In the OpenWorks model, a composite run is conventionally represented with a run
value of C.

(Logging) Pass
[Logging Tool Pass: Log
Pass Id]

Partial key (4 of 5) for log curves. Within any given toolstring descent, the toolstring
may make multiple unidirectional movements in the wellbore. A pass records the
interval, direction, etc. of this movement.
Also, the identifier or handle that names a pass, e.g., MAIN or REPEAT.
In the OpenWorks model, used as a partial key to uniquely identify log curves.

name, service, run, and pass. Used as a partial key to uniquely identify log curves.
Version number is a serial counter under name and run. Each new curve is created as
a unique version within the name/run combination. This approach prevents
overwriting of data but, unless effectively managed, also leads to large projects.

Data Source (Interpreter)


[Log Curve: Data Source]

The interpreter used when the data were created; the data source owns the curve. An
asterisk (*) after the Data Source indicates that the current interpreter cannot delete
that curve.

Creation Routine
[Log Curve: Creation
Routine]

The routine, utility, or application used to import or to create the log data, e.g., CUCOPY for the routine in Curve Utility, crvldr for Curve Loader, TabEdt for
Tabular Edit, and BlkShf for the Bulk Shift routine in LogEdit.

Creation User
Log Curve: Create User
ID]

The Owner name associated with the Interpreter that created or modified the curve.
If the Create Routine occurs in a Landmark product the Creation User is LMSYS.

UoM (Unit of Measure)


{Log Curve: Value Storage
Uom]

Unit of measurement associated with a log curve and describing its data, as stored in
an OpenWorks project database. This is not necessarily the Value Working Uom or
the Log Crv Unit Meas value.

(Depth) Inc(crement)
[Log Curve: Crv Increm]

The increment between curve sample points.


An increment of 0 indicates that an explicit depth value is stored with each curve
value; 0 increments are flagged red in the curve display area.

(Number of) Dim(ensions)


[Log Curve: Number of
Dimensions]

A whole number that indicates whether a curve is scalar (1) or multi-dimensional (2).
If the dimension number is 2, the value is flagged red in the curve display area.

Resamp(le Scheme)
[Log Curve: Resampling
Scheme]

Options are SINGLE POINT, STEP FUNC TOP, STEP FUNC MIDPOINT, STEP
FUNC BOTTOM, and CONTINUOUS. See the Introduction to PetroWorks Family of
Products manual (page 49) for information on these resampling schemes.

(Number of) Samples


[Log Curve: Start
Framework Sample No
and End Framework
Sample No]

Number of discrete samples a log curve has in its depth interval.

Null Val(ue)
{Log Curve: Znon]

Optional sequential counter of logging tools assembled in this configuration starting


at the bottom of the assembly.

Qualifiers
[Log Curve Qualifier:
Qualifier Name]

An adjective that describes a log curve, specifically the intrinsic properties and/or
processing steps performed to create the data. Qualifiers provide broad
classifications and can help users decide how to handle data, i.e., based on what has
been done to the data decide what needs to be done next. In the OpenWorks model,
values are based on American Petroleum Institute RP-66 Property Indicators (with
extensions).
Log curve qualifiers may be used in conjunction with others in various combinations,
and some may be mutually exclusive. They are attached to a log curve by the creating
process, e.g., PATCHED [Tabular] or DEPTH-MATCHED [BulkDS].
See the Introduction to PetroWorks Family of Products manual (page 140) for list of
curve qualifiers.
Use MB3 to view curve qualifiers.

Viewing Curve Qualifiers


A curve qualifier is an adjective describing a general processing step
that has been performed to create the data in a log curve. For example,
RESCALED indicates the curve has been rescaled using a process such
as LogEdits Manual Rescale. Qualifiers provide broad classifications
and can help users decide how to handle data.
Log curve qualifiers may be used in conjunction with other qualifiers in
various combinations; some qualifiers may be mutually exclusive.
Curve Qualifiers are attached to a log curve by the creating process.
In the OpenWorks model, values are based on RP-66 Property
Indicators (with extensions). You can view the Log Curve Qualifier
table in Well Data Manager.
For a full list of log curve qualifiers, see Log Curve Qualifiers on

Filtering and Selecting Curves


You can filter or select curves using any combination of most data
fields. Filtering removes from the display all the curves that do not
match the criteria. Selecting highlights all the curves in the display that
do match the criteria.
For example, suppose you want delete all RHOB curves you created
prior to this week using LogEdit. You can filter on Curve Name, Data
Source (Interpreter), Creation Date, and Creation Routine to show only
those curves that meet the criteria. Then you can delete all the curves at
once.

Filtering/Selecting are applied to newly selected wells.


If you have filtered data and then select wells to display, the filtering is applied to
the new well curves.

Mode-Dependent Filter/Select Restrictions


If you are in Delete Mode...
Select ignores any curves you do not have permission to delete. Filter works for
all curves.
If you are in Copy Mode...
Select will not work because in Copy mode, you can select only one curve at a
time. Filter works for all curves.
If you are in History Mode...
Both Select and Filter work for all curves.

To filter or select, use the following procedure:

You must choose all the data fields you want to filter/select on
before applying the filter. The application does not process nested
filter/select procedures. For example, if you filter on Curve Name,
apply the filter, then try to filter the resulting curve list on Logging
Service, you will get the original curve list filtered only on
Logging Serviceyour Curve Name filtering will be lost.
4.

For each data type, choose the criterion to filter or select on.
For each data type you choose or enter the criterion on which to
base the filter/select operation. Criteria are applied in only a few
different ways. These ways are explained in more detail below.

Using Matches/Does Not Match to Filter


Data types Curve Name, Acquisition Job, and Acquisition Run use the
Matches/Does Not Match pulldown list.

Type the string you want to match/not match. You can:

Type exactly the full string. For example, P7 will find only those
curves named P7. It will not find P7A or AP7.

Include * (asterisk symbol) anywhere in the string for a multicharacter wildcard. For example, *P7 will find P7 and AP7 but
not AP7B.

Include % (percent symbol) anywhere in the string for a singlecharacter wildcard. For example, A%7 will find AP7 and A97 but
not AP97.

Using Is One Of/Is Not One Of to Filter


Data types Curve Name, Curve Alias, Logging Service, Logging Pass,
Data Source (Interpreter), Creation Routine, Creation User, Unit of
Measure, Resample Scheme, Tool Code, Qualifiers, Acquisition Job,
Logging Company, and Acquisition Run use the Is One Of/Is Not One

Deleting Curves
Curve utility retrieves a list of all curves within the selected well(s).
The Data Source (Interpreter) indicates which interpreter owns which
curve. You can delete only curves that have white backgrounds and do
not have an asterisk (*) after the Data Source.

Deleting Multi-Valued Log Curves


Multi-valued log curves can be quite large. To keep your project tidy and to free
up disk space, you should delete any MVLC files you do not need. Currently, to
delete multi-valued curves, you must use the Delete option in PetroWorks Curve
Utility. You cannot delete these curves using OpenWorks Well Data Manager.

Use the following steps to delete curves:

R2003.12.1

1.

Select or change wells as needed. (See Selecting Wells on


page 164.)

2.

Make sure the Curve Utility is in Delete Mode by checking to see


that the Delete Mode icon is white. If the icon is not white, click

Displaying Curve History


Curve Utility enables you to generate a curve history report about any
curve or curves in the display area. Depending on which application
created the curve, a curve history can include:

what application was used to create the curve

how the curve was created (by editing or copying, etc.)

the curve name, run number, version number, and well name of the
original curve, if created by editing or copying

Curve Utility displays the curve history for one or more curves in
Report Viewer. Report Viewer enables you to save and print the report.
For more information, see the chapter Viewing Reports with Report
Viewer on page 179 of the PetroWorks/LogEdit Visualization Utilities
manual.
Follow these steps to generate curve history reports:

R2003.12.1
