About GeoSyn
GeoSyn 1D enables you to create one-dimensional and offset sythetic models. Logs can be edited, stretched, squeezed, shifted, and more.
Synthetics creation
A synthetic can be created in several ways:
- Open a previously saved GeoSyn synthetic with a .syn extension.
- Import raw log data from LAS or GeoSyn synthetic files.
- Launch GeoSyn from Kingdom, AccuMap or PetraSeis applications.
- Download digitized logs from the IHS Information Hub or AccuMap
- Create a blocked log suite.
Layout templates
GeoSyn enables you to create multiple templates that control the display and placement of elements in the main synthetic display including color palettes, directory paths, and display presentations for logs, traces, and models.
As well, the main synthetic display includes drag and drop, and right-click functionality for working with individual synthetic elements.
File management
GeoSyn includes a Directory Browser that displays GeoSyn and LAS format files in either the current directory or the current directory and its sub-directories too. All files are displayed in one central view sorted by UWI. Filter the display by extension, UWI column, or geographic coordinates.
Export capability
Export tops, directional surveys, logs, synthetic models, and more into ASCII text, LAS, and SEGY format as applicable. All exports are managed through a central export manager dialog box with each data type displayed on separate tabs.
As well, any element that appears in the main synthetic display can be copied to the Windows clipboard and pasted into other applications to create a montage.
GeoSyn includes batch printing and reformatting, which enables you to simultaneously convert or print multiple LAS or GeoSyn format files.
Tops management
When you create a new synthetic or launch an existing one, GeoSyn automatically downloads the latest system tops and user tops from your local AccuMap database. Configure top lithology and save various tops in different lists that you import, export, and display in a tops table in the main synthetic display.
Information in the tops table can be exported as ASCII text or as an image file for use with other applications.
Seismic
Import and display single-trace and multi-trace seismic data saved in SEGY format and display the file in a stand-alone SEGY Viewer before importing to review file format and contents. Imported seismic can be tied to models for correlation.
IHS Kingdom Integration
Create a GeoSyn synthetic using a well or seismic data from IHS Kingdom. Read a time depth chart directly from the Kingdom database, apply the data to a GeoSyn model, and then save the time/depth data back to the Kingdom database. GeoSyn can be launched directly from Kingdom and the resulting GeoSyn files can be saved within the Kingdom Project directory.
Modelling (traces)
Create zero-offset, multi-offset, or derived models. GeoSyn also enables you to create blocked log models to eliminate tuning effects that sometimes occur when using actual logs.
Cross-Plotting
Create crossplots using data from logs, seismic, and models that appear in the synthetic for the X and Y axes.
Following are some of the more common crossplots you might create:
- Offset trace along the x axis and an amplitude trace along the y axis.
- Incident angle along the x axis and the amplitude from the seismic along the y axis
- Gradient on one axis and intercept on the other.
